I thought the Ovi celebration ceremony was very well done. They handled the family nicely and the Gretzkys were great. I was surprised that Leonsis declined to take the mike when Ovi offered it to him - that was nice of him and classy. It was pretty funny when Gretzky complimented the refs and the fans booed.
I wish they had Backstrom come down and be in the ceremony. They could have interviewed him on the TV coverage as well, but I didn't see it if they did. I am sure the Caps will do a big ceremony next game and I bet the bring out Backstrom and Oshie and maybe some others.
Speaking of the next game, that Chatfield body slam definitely deserved a suspension and it is going to be interesting to see what the retaliation is. I think they should just constantly tell him "next year" all game and then just go after big-time the first time they play next year. We don't want risk anybody getting hurt or suspended at this point. However if somebody had a clear chance to board the hell out of him and get away with it, that would be nice.
