Bad Ovie!

So where to freakin' start?

Ever have that feeling that you want to throw up and cry at the same time? Yeah, well that happened to me last Monday when I heard that Ovie got injured badly on a knee to knee hit with Gleason from the Hurricanes. I was told at first it looked BAD!!!!! The next morning things didnt look any better when the buzz on the Caps message board predicted some kind of ACL tear with a possible season ending...Ouch! I hate how ESPN and NHL network had to show his injury over and over again, not cool!

Luckily, Ovie proved them wrong and was named day to day with a sore knee! Phew! He may have not been seriously injured but he got a two day suspension because of the hit. Lovely!

I religiously follow a blog ran by a huge fan, TJ (it's is listed in Blogs that I follow), I left a message on there expressing my feelings over his suspension and his Ovie's reaction to it. The blog is amazing, great articles and great pictures, both on and off season! TJ does an amazing job!

My thoughts? Ovie should not change the way the plays in order to please the masses! He plays and lives with reckless abandon and is an electrifying player to watch both on and off the ice. He has a heart of gold and personality plus. Do I feel the suspension is harsh? No not really, but he should not change who he is because of it!! There are too many people in this world who blend in, do what their told and trudge along life. Ovie is a fresh of breath air and a unique individual. Not just "another brick in the wall" (yeah, I just quoted Pink Floyd!). Go on with your bad self Ovie, it's better to be hated for who you are, than loved for who your are not!

In other Ovie news, the December/January Men's Journal is out featuring 4 hot Ovie photos as well as a short interview! Please grab a copy, you know I already did!

Ovie should hopefully be back Dec. 7th against the Tampa Bay Lightning..Let's hope he behaves, the count down begins to his Jan. 2. L.A. arrival!

In non Ovie news...I got to chat with Laker guard Sasha Vujacic again! He touched my bracelets...Sigh!!!!!!!
