Ovechkin Had Enough

from Larry Brooks of the NY Post,
• Alex Ovechkin may have behaved badly away from the ice this week, but perhaps The Great 8 simply had had enough of the home country’s jingoistic approach to critiquing his game and his rivalry with Sidney Crosby. As if Ovechkin is going to get a fair shake there.
• There is much speculation within the industry that the new Tampa Bay ownership will reach out to former Minnesota and Calgary GM Doug Risebrough to take over the Lightning, but Slap Shots has been told that permission has not yet been requested from the Rangers to talk to Risebrough, who is under contract to the Blueshirts as a scout.
Regardless, the future of current GM Brian Lawton is as uncertain as what has happened and will happen to the Lawton family’s significant financial investment—believed up to $10 million—into Tampa Bay’s former OK ownership deal. Lawton’s wife, Angelina, is the club’s VP of corporate communications.
