I've said it before and I'll say it again: these hits (Ovechkin's, Steve Downie's, Matt Cooke's, etc.) are Rorschach tests; people see what they want to see in them, be it a chance to critique the game, promote a hero by unfairly ripping apart a "villain," or what have you.

J.P. from Japers' Rink, on the two-game suspension assessed to Alexander Ovechkin.

3. Sidney Crosby has now won Gold at the World Juniors, the Stanley Cup, and Olympic Gold, where he scored the game-winning goal in overtime, which means there's nothing more he can do to keep people from hating on him.

Crunch beat B-Sens in AHL outdoor classic

The Syracuse Crunch got the better of the Binghamton Senators in a penalty-ridden AHL outdoor classic, by a score of 2-1. The B-Sens had ten powerplays, Syracuse had eight, but none of the goals were on the powerplay. Josh Hennessy scored Binghamton's only goal, while short-handed.

"I was really excited it was Ottawa I was traded to. I've played for Bryan Murray in Anaheim and I really enjoyed it. So I'm certainly looking forward to that, and I have a good knowledge of how good Ottawa is as a team. For me it's exciting, it's a new start after a tough season.
...
It wasn't something that caught me totally off guard, and I'm just really happy it was to such a good team as Ottawa. I'm really looking forward to it."
