Barry Trotz calls Alex Ovechkin's recent spate of penalties 'unacceptable'

Although the Capitals rallied for an overtime win over the Sabres on Monday night, Coach Barry Trotz had some sharp criticism for his team's captain following the game. Alex Ovechkin was whistled for his team-leading 11th minor penalty in the second period—and Trotz was none too pleased about it. Ovechkin reached out and whacked Marcus Foligno on the hip with the blade of his stick, but it was not hard and there did not appear to be any malicious intent.
