Ovie's Owie

With all the talk in recent weeks about a lack of respect between players in the NHL, it's nice to see that some guys are still pretty decent. Per Capitals Insider:

AO was hit unintentionally by Lightning defenseman Dan Boyle midway through the third period of the Caps' 7-1 victory Sunday afternoon, just as Alexandre Giroux scored the sixth goal [...] AO, who was sporting a fat lip and small cut near his chin, said that Boyle text messaged Ben Clymer, who relayed the apology.
Um, can I also love that Boyle text messaged Clymer, who passed it along? I don't know why, but I found that adorable. It's nice that Ben still stays friendly with some of his evil old Tampa Bay buddies.

Also from the same Insider post, this quote from Ovechkin, which goes in the growing file of hilarious things he says:
Sometimes I don't know where I go. So [Zubrus] will never know where I'm going. It will be a fun game if he plays against me because I know his moves, his strong side.
Hear that, Zubie? Ovie knows what you'll do...but not what he'll do. If that doesn't scare the bejeezus out of you, I don't know what will.
