Tonight the Toronto Maple Leafs face-off against the Washington Capitals in a battle of two of the most cowardly players in the league. Hopefully Komisarek and Ovechkin end each others seasons.
Ovechkin is coming off a 2 goal, 1 assist, 6 wussy move performance against the Boston Bruins. Komisarek is looking to throw more elbows and high sticks, or perhaps toss more people into his own goalie.
The Capitals soundly beat a Boston Bruins team on Thursday that looked like they were still in pre-season mode, while Toronto lost a heart breaker in overtime to the Montreal Canadiens. Should be noted that a terrible, awful, no need for it elbowing penalty by Homosarek gave the Canadiens a late power play chance that they capitalized on.
The Maple Leafs defenders will need to give Ovechkin much less room to operate than the Bruins defenders did. Ovechkin may be in trouble as well, as the entire Toronto team is much less likely to put up with Ovechkin's cheap shots. Although, the NHL does have that Ovechkin rule where you cannot breath on him without getting a penalty.
In their 4 meetings last year each team won two games with two of the games being decided by just one goal, and a third going to a shootout (won by the Maple Leafs).
