Didn't look like a terrible injury, IMO, especially considering Russian Machine Never Break.

Just hoping for a bruise as opposed to a separation in his shoulder.

Edit: Just found this article:

Alex Ovechkin Declared Day-To-Day With Upper-Body Injury

Alex Ovechkin left Sunday’s game after slamming his shoulder into the boards.

Day to day with "upper body injury."

Rest him up before the playoffs begin.

Rest him up before the playoffs begin.

Can we afford to. Sure would be nice to catch Pittsburgh and avoid Florida.

 

[skinz2winz]

Unbelievable chance to pass the Pens last night and Samsonov fails us. Ugh... 3 third period goals allowed. Not looking good.

 

[Sportster 72]

I think that was a total team bomb.

Same thing the night before up 2 with less than a period and team and Vanecek choked.

 

[kbso83432]

Still control our own destiny. Need 4 points.

Still control our own destiny. Need 4 points.

We need some guys to step up! Oshie, Carlson, Wilson, Kuznetsov, Backstrom I'm talking to you...

 

[chillerdab]

Goaltending wasnt addressed in the offseason or at the trading deadline, and it will undoubtedly be the caps downfall.

VV and Samsonov dont have it.

 

[kbso83432]

And here we......go

Can't remember the last time I had zero expectations for a Caps team. Maybe I can relax this year and just watch.

 

[Sportster 72]

Yeah, it is hard to have much confidence with these two goaltenders.

They played a great 1st period but couldn't put an extra 1 or 2 in and I think Vanecek should have had that goal.

 

[kbso83432]

Sheary has to finish that.

 

[Sportster 72]

Caps have had the chances and played well but can't get the puck in the net.

 

[dcrising]

kuzy!

 

[kbso83432]

kuzy!

Ovi's steal!

 

[kbso83432]

Okay! 1-0

 

[dcrising]

huge to take home ice away for now. Hope willy and carly are ok for game 2

 

[Sportster 72]

The way the Caps have played this year they were on home ice tonight.

 

[kbso83432]

What a cheap shot on Carlson.

 

[skinz2winz]

What a great win!!!

 

[chillerdab]

I was particularly impressed with the way they played disciplined defense.

The backstrom - Oshie goal was fucking beautiful, and who doesnt love Kiuzy’s bird celly.

I’d be totally fine with some karmic retribution (caps vs canadians).
