Afternoon Scrum 11/3/09

• Capitals Head Whiner, err, Coach Bruce Boudreau apparently got his feelings hurt when All-World forward Alex Ovechking hurt his shoulder in a scrum (synergy!) with CBJ F Jason Chimera. Boudreau complained after the game that the Jackets were making a game plan of taking a "run or hit" at Ovechkin whenever he had the puck. Hitch's response: "That would be correct." Read all about it over on Puckrakers.
• Also on the Puckrakers blog is a little nugget involving a line demotion for F Kristian Huselius. Juice is a baller when he is playing at full go... but no argument here that he has rarely been full go at any point this season.
• It is getting difficult to keep up with all the stuff going on with the Players Association. Just the other weekend the General Counsel/Interim Executive Director quit. So the union fired its director only to have the interim director walk out on them. Beauty. Here's the latest courtesy of ESPN.
