The National Hockey League has a history of being lenient with it's star players, and the reasoning behind that stance is fairly obvious. However this season they have been extremely lenient with one player in particular, Alex Ovechkin of the Washington Capitals. Ovechkin has had several incidents this year which have been called into question, and left many wondering why there was no harsher punishment doled out. Tonight in a game against the New York Rangers we saw Ovechkin once again taking liberties with an opposing player. In this video courtesy of Sportsnet Canada, you can clearly see Alex Ovechkin take a shot at the head of the Rangers TJ Miller, a hit that would get many other players in hot water. Should the league suspend him? And perhaps more importantly will they?
