The two faces of the NHL, Alexander Ovechkin and Sidney Crosby, will not take part in the 2012 All-Star Game in Ottawa on Sunday, but that is not a bad scenario for the league. In fact, it’s a great thing for the sport.
Crosby is still battling concussion symptoms and hasn’t played for the Pittsburgh Penguins since Dec. 5.
Ovechkin said via the Washington Post, “I feel I’m not deserving to be there right now. I got suspended.”
The Washington Capitals forward is currently serving a three-game suspension for an illegal hit on Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Zbynek Michalek.
