NHL discipline committe once again fails miserably. (VIDEO)

Once again the NHL disciplinary committee has shown that they will give a pass to players as long as their names have brand value. That's what happened today when the league announced that Alexander Ovechkin would not be disciplined by the league, that's no suspension, not even a fine. Ovechkin took a run at the Blackhawks Niklas Hjalmarsson during the final seconds of the first period during Friday night's Washington vs Chicago match up. This marks the second time this week Ovechkin has targeted the head, the first incident occurred when Ovechkin hit the Flames Curtis Glencross clean in the head. You can watch the hit on Niklas Hjalmarsson courtesy of Some Hockey Videos:
