Am I not a superstar as well? -Eric Staal. Ok- far from the real thing, lol. But you get my drift- AO gets away with way too much. Dear Gary Bettman-

Why does Alex Ovechkin get away with far more than I do? Am I not a superstar as well?

-Eric Staal.

Ok- far from the real thing, lol. But you get my drift- AO gets away with way too much.

I've seen us lose twice no in the verizon center. I'll never go again. I'm a freaking Jinx. I leave Raleigh and bam stanley cup. I go to games and they skate in quicksand.

Perhaps you need to get out more? But fine: Cross-checking. Charging. Leaving his feet to deliver a check (which is part of charging, but still). And the occasional elbow or two. But if he doesn't get called for it then I guess it didn't happen, right? I like the guy. I admire his skills and I think he's one of the best things to happen to the NHL in a long time--if you bothered to actually pay attention you would know that I've sung his praises on many many occasions in this space. But I'm not blind. I am HARDLY “the first person” to say that Ovechkin (and I quote) “can be a dirty bastard”. Perhaps you need to get out more?
