Ovechkin Gets $1,000 Fine, No Suspension

According to The Washington Post, Alex Ovechkin will not receive a suspension for his hit against Sabres forward Daniel Briere.

Ovechkin will incur a $1,000 fine though.

We talk about it," Ovechkin said after practice at Kettler Capitals Iceplex. "He tell me we understand you don't try to give some dirty hit. I tell him same. . . . I just want to hit him, but [Briere was] turning and I don't have time to do something. I'm happy it's done, I hope Briere is okay."

I think it's the right move by the NHL. Ovie's no goon and he seems sincerley sorry for the hit.
