Everyone knew he was going to miss a few games due to injury so the suspension was only given because of that(he should have gotten the suspension to be started when he returned from the injury).

He plays hard, but he crosses the line from time to time. Just because he is a star player does NOT mean he shouldn't be suspended if he does something that warrants it.

I'm pretty sure Vladimir Putin has some say on what happens to Ovechkin ... or at least if the NHL knows what's good for it.
