How is your day going so far? Good? Alex Ovechkin's day has sucked. Early this morning, the Capitals captain took a hockey puck to the face. And, he needed to get 22 stitches in order to repair the damage. His explanation for what happened? "It's hockey." Yep, it is. And, he's a hockey player, so don't expect him to take any time off for it.
