What Hossa did wasn't nearly as violent as what Ovechkin did. He gave a slight nudge with one hand while Ovechkin put a forearm into Campbell's back and pushed him forward in a nasty way. Also, if I remember correctly, that was like the fifth time that Ovechkin did that exact same thing this year. The five minute penalty was spot on. It was a very dangerous thing, but it did not look malicious. |
I don't think that either of them were malicious. Ovechkin has done some careless things in the past, but getting suspended for trying to push Campbell off the puck is ridiculous.
I bet that nobody would have given the play a second thought if Campbell got up without injury. We see plays like these every game.
