Any Doubts Now?

Most of us recognized the fact that Ovechkin would head-hunt Malkin when the Caps would play the Penguins even though he would deny it over and over again.

It seems that since the All-Star game when Malkin and Ovi reconciled that it was a little less physical between the two of them yesterday. I'd say that proves it right there.

And now, it's back to normal and the ways things used to be: Crosby vs. Ovechkin (didn't you miss it?!)!!

"What I can say about him?" Ovechkin said. "He is a good player, but he talks too much."

And what does Crosby make of Ovechkin's showmanship?

"Like it or lump it, that's what he does," Crosby said. "Some people like it, some people don't. Personally, I don't like it."
