He dishes it out but he rarely gets touched.

Ovechkin is a very physical player. Next time you're watching the Caps, focus on him when he doesn't have the puck. He doesn't get touched much because he avoids it, but he isn't shy about putting the hurt on the other guy. He is a lot tougher than he gets credit for. In this series, keep an eye on him when he's on the ice with Malkin. There is some bad blood there and Ovechkin isn't shy about going after him.
As for the B's, I think they'll be fine. They play well on the road and as good as Ward is, it will be tough for him to keep standing on his head the way he did on Sunday. I'd like to see the B's play a little more physical, too. When they do that, it creates scoring opportunities.
