Don't you dare hurt Washington Capitals Alexander Ovechkin's feelings by taking him out of the game in crunch time. The Washington Capitals trailed by two goals with less than half a period left on Tuesday night against the Anaheim Ducks. The Caps went on a scoring bing and put together a 5-4 comeback win in overtime. What part did Alexander Ovechkin play in the nice comeback by his team?

Alex Ovechkin wasn't thrilled about not being on the ice in the waning minutes of Tuesday night's game against the Anaheim Ducks.

"Where's No. 8?"
That was the immediate question with 1:02 left in the third period and the Washington Capitals trailing the Anaheim Ducks by a goal on Tuesday night. Tomas Vokoun had been yanked for an extra skater; so where was No. 8 for Anaheim, Teemu Selanne, trying to tally the 23rd hat trick of his career with an empty-netter and complete a five-point night?...

Vancouver Canucks blogger Richard Hodges Love Em Hate Em Canucks hockey blog. He recaps and rewinds the Canucks 5-1 win over the Flames. Roberto Luongo nearly got the shutout, and Alex Edler had a great game, but it was ruined by a late Alex Tanguay goal.
