It takes more balls to make a statement like Ovy did knowing your going to get slapped for it rather them do like 99% of players do and say nothing.
Rangers 19 penalties WSH 34.
To put into perspective the Rangers had less penalties for their clutching and grabbing style as VAN did in a sweep.
Hell even the annual least penalized team in the NHL the Red Wings had 28.
The Rangers also had the most 5 on 3 PP time of all playoff teams meanwhile WSH had Zero time.
From what our house watched of the NY vs Caps series the Rangers seemed to be getting away with quite a bit of interference pick plays, hooking and holding especially.
