Ovechkin made to wait for medical treatment
The Washington Post is reporting that star forward Alex Ovechkin was made to wait before receiving medical treatment from the Penguins medical staff during last nights game.
Apparently Ovechkin was cut by a skate during the third period of the game and had to be treated by the Penguins medical staff. Although he rushed right away to the Penguins locker room he had to wait for treatment while one of the Pens was attended to. As a result Ovechkin was forced to miss the balance of the game. Interesting if you are a Penguins fan or manager that is trying to find any edge possible to collect the valuable extra points necessary to get into the playoffs. Although it is very unlikely that the medical trainers deliberately delayed his treatment it is reported that the Capitals may investigate what took place as they are unhappy about the situation.
