Alex Ovechkin boards Patrick Kaleta

Ok I know it's not a fight but you gotta love Ovechkin sometimes, or just like when a cheap player who never backs up his play by dropping the gloves, only when he wants to, gets a cheap shot on him. This video is of Washington Capitals Alex Ovechkin boarding Buffalo Sabres Patrick Kaleta.

Rangers vs Capitals, in case you missed it

In case you missed what happened between the New York Rangers and the Washington Capitals on December 30th, well you missed some good old-time hockey action. Donald Brashear and Colton Orr got into a fight with Brashear getting the win over Orr. Some think Brashear knocked down Orr with a punch but if you watch it again Orr falls down before Brashear's punch lands. I too thought it was a knockdown at first watch, but I re-watched it a few times.

Donald Brashear gave Jaromir Jagr a few shots and Brendan Shanahan didn't like it and yelled at Brashear from the bench. Later, after the puck dropped on a faceoff, Brashear and Shanahan dropped the gloves after Shanahan challenged Brashear. Their fight wasn't much, a lot of hugging and grappling (as we are use to with Brashear), but I would give the edge to Brashear as he threw more punches than Shanahan. After the fight, on his way to the penalty box, Brashear sucker punched Rangers defenseman Aaron Ward and Ward went down to the ice. Apparently he asked Brashear a question, according to Ward, Brashear has not said anything about the incident.

Later, Rangers tough guy Colton Orr gave Capitals All-Star Alexander Ovechkin a high cross-check on a late hit. Capitals defenseman Shaone Morrison went after Orr and they dropped the gloves. It was all Orr in this fight, as it wasn't much of a fight.

A day after this game, Rangers Colton Orr was suspended for 5 games and Capitals Donald Brashear was suspended for 1 game. You can watch a video of all of these incidents below. The video is courtesy of HockeyFights.com and YouTube.com.
