Time for a quick Recap, Rundown, and Shake-up, which is just an excuse not to come up with anything original and link it to other people’s stuff. Before hand we have Ovechkin’s 50th goal celebration, which everyone acknowledged was premeditated and Ovechkin acknowledged was to “fan the flame” of his critics. I love it because he’s on our team but if Sidney Crosby were to do this, I’d be livid. This isn’t the NFL here. Have a good weekend.
