If anything the two hander by Ovechkin was the closest thing to a dirty play in the whole thing but he and Crosby were both hustling to the front of the net and I don't really think there was any intention to injure. As Trotz said it was just a hockey play that had an unfortunate outcome.

Of course the Capital's Coach will call it a hockey play, the other side of it... Penguins coach was clearly frustrated and refused to talk about it.
I sure hope that's not a hockey play.... however I doubt the NHL will hand out a suspension...
