Ovechkin jokes about missing a month, actually missing a week
Quote:
ARLINGTON, Va. (AP)—Alex Ovechkin(notes) says he was joking when he told a reporter over the weekend that he could be out more than a month.
The Washington Capitals star practiced lightly Monday and said he would actually miss about a week.
He hasn’t played since leaving a Nov. 1 game against Columbus after he was hurt in a scrum. The Capitals said last week that Ovechkin, whose 14 goals and 23 points lead the team, was week to week with what they called an upper-body problem.
Ovechkin, who was quoted by Yahoo! on Saturday night as saying he could miss four or five weeks, insisted his left shoulder was not affected by the still unspecified injury, animatedly flexing the joint and telling reporters with a smile, “The shoulder’s fine, see?”...

I suspect that the confusion over the Puck Daddy interview arose because the interview was originally in Russian. Apparently Ovechkin's sarcasm (and clarification) wasn't translated too clearly in the English version.

This is pretty much what i understood.
He probably gave a lot of caps fans near heart attacks, though.

Considering how often people around here need sarcasm detectors, it doesn't surprise me that OV's humor escaped some.

He's spit in your food and then smile with his goofy face and you'd still eat there because hey, look at that goofy face, how can you refuse.

Anybody stupid enough to trade off Alexander Ovechkin just because of a month of IR leave deserves to have their team screwed.

maybe the caps organization made him change his story, since usually players dont say how long they will be out at all.
OV addmitting any kind of length of absence would probably hurt attendance in someway, most definitly TV ratings and revenue...

No, I'd eat there because if Alex ****ing Ovechkin spits in your food, it's probably gonna be the best food you'll ever taste.
This was payback for puck daddy starting that ****storm with Semin's comments about Crosby, nothing more, nothing less.
