May 6 - Oveckin Ejected at Worlds
Suspended One Game
MOSCOW—May 6, 2007— Russian left wing Alex Ovechkin was ejected in the first period of Sunday’s qualifying round game against Switzerland. Ovechkin was handed a five-minute major and a game misconduct for checking from behind. He was later suspended for one game, and will miss Monday night's game against Sweden. The call came at 8:42 of the first period, eight seconds after Ovechkin exited the penalty box for serving a roughing minor.

Ouch. Taking NHL-style a little too seriously?
