    Default Ovechkin stepping out of the All-Star game

    He has a LBI. While some may think this is fishy timing, Ovi seems like he loves the weekend stuff, so hopefully he still shows up to the events, but he just doesn’t play.

    This means he won’t play in the first game back after the ASG. Any guess who replaces him as captain and who replaces his spot?

    Backstrom, Giroux, Malkin, Ovi, Saad, Tavares, Faulk, Letang, McDonagh, Holtby and Schneider is the roster.

    So it’s not like it has to be a Capital, but it has to be a forward. But Kuzy being 5th in points does make the most sense. Malkin to Captain? It’s Malkin, Giroux, Tavares, or Backstrom I think.

    This is very unfortunate.. If he's stepping out of the game, he won't be showing up at all.. Who was ever 2nd in votes, that should determine the new captain..

    James Neal has no business being anywhere near that ice. The NHL is a farce.

    Completely agree. This guy is one of the dirtiest players in the league. The Jets have been without Lowry for about 6 games because of Neal. What about Wheeler? He has more assists than Neal has points! What a joke.

    It’s cause it’s in Nashville. That’s why Josi, Weber, and Rinne are already on the team. Nothing against those guys, but having 4 nashville players on a team that only has 11 spots is a bit biased.

    Ovie prepping for a LONG LONG playoff run.

    Was his announcement after the game last night when he logged 22+ minutes and 5+ sog??

    He apparently has had this injury for the whole season and he’s just not resting it. He even admits to cleaning his house instead of resting when games were cancelled for the snow storm, which he said was dumb.

    I think he actually has maybe a small pulled muscle that just isn’t healing, or maybe it’s just like Backstrom’s hip last yr. Serious, but he can play through it.

    You’re right, I must have skimmed over the part where it said “He even joked….”. Still, him stepping out when voted in and being a captain, I doubt he turns that down if he wasn’t actually hurt.

    It's the right move even if he is faking an injury. The Capitals need him to be 100% for the playoffs this year and the ASG is a waste of time.

    Way to pull a "Crosby All-star skip" Ovechkin, only one player can consistently sit them out and never be called out on it!

    For the record Wheeler should be there 1000000x more than both Toews and Neal. Also Crawford should be in over Pekka "I've played 10 good games all season" Rinne. But yeah it's in Nashville and they want to continue to create fans and a bigger market there.

    Toews is sitting it out, along with the first Blackhawks game after the break, as well.
