Check out this sick shot of the Capitals’ Nicklas Backstrom. Clydeorama has an excellent series from the Caps’ victory against the New York Rangers, including a capture from Alexander Semin’s first career fight (with Ranger Mark Staal), which led to Semin’s ejection. Gnarly!

Speaking of fighting and the causing thereof: How did Alexander Ovechkin get looked over for the All-Star Game? How do you support that decision?
