In case you can't tell, the man behind the glasses and girls and ridiculous head accessories is Alexander Ovechkin.
He was suspended yesterday for 3 games for this hit on Zbynek Michalek (see video below).
We at DSHS applogize for Pierre McGuire's voice being in this video.
I have not watched the Shanahan explanation video but I assume it gives something similar to this explanation:
1/2 game for hitting Michalek's head
1/2 game for leaving his feet
2 games for being a complete idiot
After being suspended, Ovie decided to pull himself out of the NHL Allstar game this weekend. This is a game for the fans, and Ovie always puts on a show for the fans. Remember this?
I am inclined to believe that Ovie skipped the Allstar game because he didn't want to be sitting all by himself at the draft with Phil Kessel taking photos of him on his phone.
Perhaps the people angry at Ovie, myself included, should be more angry at the NHL for even including him in the Allstar game in the first place. What has he done this year? Besides be benched and get his coach fired. Oh an make many people angry with him, but what else is new.

To make up for having to listen to Pierre, we have included a bonus video with our post today. Enjoy.
