The paper indicated that two events Monday night forced the Capitals to discipline their best player. With the Capitals killing a penalty midway through the second period, Ovechkin left the defensive zone apparently waiting for a breakaway pass and leaving the Caps to face a 5-on-3 disadvantage in their own end. Furthermore, Ovechkin allegedly ignored an order to come off the ice on a power play.

Ah, he's a cocky rookie on a crap team. What the hell else is he supposed to do?

Well, the Caps are in a tough fight for last place with the Blues, Hawks, and Pens. I can see how important it would be to play conservative penalty-killing.
