Maybe a few days or weeks off will learn him about trying to blow out someone else's knee.

Isn't the first time he's done this either.

But I'm sure the NHL will find a way to let him off:

Now, i don't consider myself a hockey expert of any kind.

Looking at the video and trying to find a way to avoid the knee-on-knee. Had Ovechkin moved his knee closer to his left knee, he would've avoided the knee collision, but also hitting the other player while leaning towards him (as a result of moving his right knee closer to his left one) would've generated a massive hit that could result in more serious injury (ie concussion, broken colarbone, etc). This is what i think went through his mind at the moment. To me, what happened, was the lesser bad.

[WiseGuy]

definitely not lesser bad - both players always guard for hits and brace upper body, there's more force in the hit but it's equal on both sides.

With a knee on knee, the "defending" player doesn't see it coming and it just straight up blows there knee out, which is potentially career ending. Your shoulders can take a lot more force than your knees.

Not to mention that you don't have to absolutely plow every guy you see. If a guy moves at the last second, you definitely don't stick your knee out.

Surprising - he got two games (http://tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=300686)

while booth's career is probably done or will never be the same

[Derfel]

Good - he's not on my list of picks for my pool.

2 games doesn't matter. He would have been out for them anyway.

Ovie will end some one's career- if not his own first.
