He plays hard. What had he done that's illegal?

I never said anything he did was illegal, calm down. Just asked if he was an agitator. Even said I didn't mean it negatively.

 

[Skrudland2Lomakin]

Can't get the hands on a slash, they've been big about calling those all season, if he got stick or leg on that he'd probably be fine.

 

[HTFN]

I am tired of arguing. Talk to somebody else.

Jenner's been doing his best Hornqvist impression all series. You're familiar, yes?

Penalties are playing way too much of a role in this series. Get smarter, CBJ.

 

[Fatty McLardy]

All right, 2 nothing lead. The jackets have the caps right where they want em.

 

[CarolinaBlueJacket]

Game and series. Good luck with the Pens.

 

[Mandar]

Great play by 74 to keep that in the zone. How in the world is he not a Norris finalist?

 

[AussieCapsFan]

Yea but I still believe a team that can consistenly make long playoff runs will make more than a team with an aging, marketable player (in the long run).

There is 0 evidence that an Ovechkin led team will ever consistently make deep playoff runs.

The problem is that Ovechkin isn't a leader - he's a goal scorer, and one of the best ever.
Leadership needs to come from somewhere else. I still can't understand why they made him captain.

Game and series. Good luck with the Pens.

With that level of optimism, are you sure you're not a closet Caps fan?

 

[Skrudland2Lomakin]

Foligno's pretty luck he didn't get anything for hitting Beagle from behind on that scrum, in the regular season that's a roughing call just about every time. Can't come in and hit a guy from behind that hard when he's already engaged with a guy.

CBJ's announcers: "Thats just foligno sending a message... you're not gonna stand around our goalie... "

rofl... guess it's time for the caps to start cracking skulls the next time the CBJ's run Holtby.

 

[CarolinaBlueJacket]

With that level of optimism, are you sure you're not a closet Caps fan?

Being a Jackets fan is way worse. I'm out. Good luck.

I'd take a Hornqvist any day of the week. We haven't had that kind of net front presence for the Caps since ...........

 

[canadianguy77]

Both of these teams are playing terrible hockey. No sense of urgency, and no one willing to battle for loose pucks in front of the net on offense.

 

[Thenameless]

Can Washington come back in the series?

 

[HTFN]

If Tom Wilson had done what Foligno or Jenner had done in that last scrum, he'd be sitting, guaranteed.

Had Wilson done that, he'd be sitting in the sin-bin for 2 minutes.

 

[Iggys Dome]

Love Ovechkin's enthusiasm

 

[4thTierSport]

Thought Jackets were goig back on the PK for that braindead move.

 

[Zen Arcade]

Nice to see the Pittsburgh fan base. Welcome. Please feel free to make all the chippy, inane comments you'd like. It'll only endear you to us even more.

You seem a bit tightly wound.

 

[canadianguy77]

Love Ovechkin's enthusiasm

He has to get riled up for something, because we all know it won't be for a Stanley Cup.

 

[Firsov99]

The Caps clearly have seized the momentum in the series. If they win today, I don't see the Jackets winning it.

 

[AussieCapsFan]

Can Washington come back in the series?

They have to so they can get crushed by the Pens in the 2nd round. And continue the humiliation....

 

[canadianguy77]

Why are both of these teams playing so slow?

 

[nothingbeatshockey]

You seem a bit tightly wound.

Thank you for the diagnosis.
