Boudreau: Ovechkin came back from his injury a little early

I kind of missed that, and I think I even watched Boudreau's interview when he said that. Oh, well...

Tarik El-Bashir, Capitals Insider, Nov. 22, 2009:

Boudreau also acknowledged that Ovechkin came back from his injury a little early, which might be behind the reason he still looks off to so many observers.

"I thought he was better than last night," Boudreau said. "When he first came back, he wasn't a 100 percent. A guy like Alex , just wanted to play. And so he played. He'll be better against Ottawa. That was an injury ...a lot of guys would have been out another week or two. I'm not worried about him."


Slava Malamud, Capitals Insider, Nov. 23, 2009:
Q.: Coach Boudreau has said that Ovechkin may have returned too soon and this was the reason for his problems in the first two games.

Alex Semin: I don't know how he feels. He is probably a better judge of that. To me, he had said that it felt okay. Maybe the reason is that two weeks without games is a pretty long time and it's very hard to get back into game form right away. It takes more than two games, in any case.


My prediction: Two goals tonight from Ovi. Go Caps!
