Chicken Chimera and outnumbered Caps

• 
  Boudreau: "We had a couple of guys go and challenge Chimera after but he didn’t want to do anything."


• Boudreau he thinks Ovechkin got hurt during the scrum but isn't certain. He also said there was an extra CBJ skater on the ice during it.

I think Chimera just painted a red dot and a circle on his back, like this one:

If he thinks he can take out Caps most valuable player with a cheap shot, he'll have to pay the price. I don't care if it was Boll or somebody else, Chimera started it and he'll have to pay the price.


Update from Capitals Insider:

Slava Malamud of Moscow-based Sport-Express told me he caught up with Ovechkin on the phone. According to Malamud, Ovechkin declined to divulge the precise location or nature of his injury but said that "tests" taken came back negative and that the injury is not believed to be serious. Malamud also said that Ovechkin does not expect to play Wednesday in New Jersey.

Boudreau said he didn't see what exactly happened to Ovechkin in the scrum in front of the Columbus bench. But he speculated that Ovechkin was injured when he was grabbed during the fracas.

Boudreau said he also noticed that there were seven Blue Jackets on the ice during the scrum, which began when Jason Chimera shoved Ovechkin and Ovechkin shoved him back.

"And then Jared Boll jumped him," Boudreau said. "There were seven guys on the ice. I couldn't understand [why] nothing was done."

Boudreau confirmed that a couple of Capitals (one was Matt Bradley) challenged Chimera to a fight after the second-period scrum. But according to Boudreau, Chimera declined the invitation.

"We had a couple of guys go and challenge Chimera after that and he didn't want to do anything," Boudreau said. "If he's not going accept that challenge, he's not going to accept a Donald Brashear challenge. So I don't think would have stopped them from doing anything. Because I think the game plan was, every time Alex touches the puck, that somebody run or hit him. That's what it looked like to me."
