Lucky one, I take it though

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

I will take that!

Kessel hasn't scored in the last 37 seconds.....

I was honestly coming to post something similar.  ;D

 

[L K]

Connolly was due for an injury...
Huge break for Ovechkin not to score and then Connolly bumps into Ovechkin and breaks in half.

 

[Guru Tugginmypuddah]

Connolly hurt, this is a recording.

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

Oh man that was not a good sight seeing Ovechkin come in.

 

[L K]

Oh man that was not a good sight seeing Ovechkin come in.

He's made a few plays that look like the "old" Ovechkin who would dominate teams even when they were playing him perfectly.

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

Looks like Ovechkin came down on the back of Connolly's leg.

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

Oh man that was not a good sight seeing Ovechkin come in.

He's made a few plays that look like the "old" Ovechkin who would dominate teams even when they were playing him perfectly.

We can thank Ottawa for giving him some confidence.

 

[Chev-boyar-sky]

Connolly hurt, this is a recording.

It didn't even look like anything happened on the play. What's with this guy. He's so talented, but so frail.

 

[Tigger]

Hope Connolly is ok, he had a great shift on the pp, looked dangerous. Still didn't quite see how he got hurt though it was from contact with Ovechkin?

 

[Sudafederov]

Connolly was due for an injury...
Huge break for Ovechkin not to score and then Connolly bumps into Ovechkin and breaks in half.

Just a guess, but I think Connolly is wrestling with a bum shoulder that will need surgery in the offseason if not sooner.

 

[Coderaspberry]

Yeah, he's looked pretty dangerous, a la classic Ovechkin.

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

So maybe Ovechkin's skate hit him.

 

[Guru Tugginmypuddah]

So maybe Ovechkin's skate hit him.

That's what it looks like on the replay, hit him in the back.

 

[Derk]

I figured we were getting close to his limit of consecutive games without an injury.

 

[Propellertop]

High sticking? Let's see the replay please.

 

[L K]

Hey, Leafs penalty!  Apparently for swinging your stick at the opponents stick....and missing!!!

That's 20 penalties against the Leafs in the last 4.5 games.

 

[BlueWhiteBlood]

So maybe Ovechkin's skate hit him.

That's what it looks like on the replay, hit him in the back.

He's fine, because he just took that face-off.
