The Russian and dare I say worse version of Playoff Rick Nash.

I'm rooting for the West anyway but I'd rather see the Pens over the Lightning in the Eastern Final.

Granted this one isn't even over yet.

Not even remotely true. We win the cup in 2014 with Ovechkin instead of Nash.

 

[bl02]

16 playoff goals and counting for Hagelin

 

[ReggieDunlop68]

Yeah suck it Pierre. No Emmy for you dip ****.

 

[chosen]

Rooting for Pens because they beat us and because they are the most fun to watch.

That Hagelin fellow is pretty good.

 

[Ratelleitlikeitis]

My dislike of Cooper and the media driven "triplets" is minimal to my dislike of Crosby and Mario. Don't want to see them hoist her.

I think Tampa is favourite if they get injured players back - an interesting final nonetheless.

Same. Pens vs Sharks with the Sharks winning is what I want.

Alex Ovechkin wouldn't have scored either.

Please note I've made my position on Nash very clear for years.

Without a doubt. Not even close. Ovechkin would have scored twice as many goals on pp alone for what Nash had total goals.

 

[bl02]

Has kuznetsov been the most disappointing player in these playoffs?

 

[nyr2k2]

If we're talking Russian disappointments, it has to be Kuznetsov. 77 points in the regular season and 2 in 12 playoff games

 

[nyr2k2]

Has kuznetsov been the most disappointing player in these playoffs?

Gotta be.

 

[LeetchisGod]

Alex Ovechkin wouldn't have scored either.

Please note I've made my position on Nash very clear for years.

Ovechkin has more than three times as many playoff goals as Nash. Way better offensive player with way more heart.

 

[Dalagaze]

It never ceases to amaze how the Caps continue to find ways to **** up a great season. Bunch of chokers.

I don't think they are choking at all. Over the last month of the season, the Pens were the best team in the NHL.

 

[Ori]

It`s still hope - a fine Oshie goal.

 

[BlueshirtBlitz]

**** the Pens. Crosby is scum. Good luck to the West.

Not so much choking as it is not living up to expectations. Many people had them winning the cup and they can't even get past the 2nd round as per usual. I know the Pens are good and have a lot to do with it but the Caps aren't exactly playing inspired hockey.

 

[tailgunner]

I seriously despise our new GM...Gorton should be (mod) for trading Hagelin for Emerson Etem.....Emerson #^&*ing Etem
are you friggin kidding me
and I don't want hear about salary cap issues...something else could of been done to avoid losing Hags

 

[aufheben]

The problem is Ovechkin, not because of him, but because just like every other year that team lives and dies with him.

I think I dislike Anaheim more to trade him back to the east - I`m happy they are out this year.

They are living up to exactly my expectations muahahahaha
