Ovie Ends Brian Campbell's Season

See, here's the thing about Ovechkin: he's the man. If you need to be convinced, look no further than this YouTube video documenting his best off-ice moments.

I wasn't even upset when I saw the hit. It happened in the first period, and Ovechkin was promptly kicked out of the game -- a fair penalty, I'd say.

To add some perspective: this is basically the hockey equivalent of LeBron James clotheslining Luol Deng from behind.

Here's what The Captain had to say:

"So much of that stuff going on now, it's pretty frustrating that the players don't take a stand against something like that and say we have to respect ourselves a little bit more and know it's not all about the flashy hit," Toews said. "You've got to know when there's a dangerous situation where you could really hurt somebody, and be smart about it."

To add insult to injury a) Campbell broke his collarbone on the hit and he's probably gone for the year, and b) the Hawks blew a two goal lead and lost.

And in case you didn't know, breaking your collarbone is supposedly incredibly painful. The first thing I thought of was this question from "Sex, Drugs, and Coco Puffs".

You meet your soul mate. However, there is a catch: Every three years, someone will break both of your soul mate's collarbones with a Crescent wrench, and there is only one way you can stop this from happening: You must swallow a pill that will make every song you hear - for the rest of your life - sound as if it's being performed by the band Alice in Chains. When you hear Creedence Clearwater Revival on the radio, it will sound (to your ears) like it's being played by Alice in Chains. If you see Radiohead live, every one of their tunes will sound like it's being covered by Alice in Chains. When you hear a commercial jingle on TV, it will sound like Alice in Chains; if you sing to yourself in the shower, your voice will sound like deceased Alice vocalist Layne Staley performing a capella (but it will only sound this way to you).

Would you swallow the pill?

Woo, hockey.

Why do I keep getting the feeling that a Cub-like collapse is lurking somewhere behind the net here?
