I have no idea if Ovechkin had any problems being late or hung over before he sat. It wouldn't surprise me if he did. A team is never going to come and publicly mention needing to take a player aside to ream him out for this stuff. Punishment only becomes public knowledge once it reaches the level of scratching the player - everything else stays behind closed doors.
