I didn't realize how big of a dirtbag coach Trotz is until he started coaching the Caps.

Why the hell are you talking about being a knight in shining armor on 9/11 on a Pens message board in 2018?

OK. Updated list.
Have I missed something still? (I guess I missed Ovechkin chasing Malkin around back in 2009)
In 2009 ovechkin kneed Gonchar who got a knee injury. Ovechkin also took a slapshot aimed at Rob Scuderi late in a game when score was decided.
2016. Orpik concussed Maatta and got suspended. Wilson tried to end Shearys career by kneeing him.
In 2017 Crosby got a concussion from Ovechking slashing him in the neck/head and then Niskanen followed it up with a crosschecking "I did not mean to crosscheck him that high". Sheary was also concussed.
In 2018 Niskanen kneeing Guentzel, and Wilson with headshots on Dumo and ZAR, and this is only after 3 games.

Wilson has taken Ovechkins role of running around and trying to dummy people. Remember when it was Ovechkin taking runs at people every game? Now he doesn't do it and he's actually scoring. I don't think the Caps will ever win a Cup playing this garbage hockey. They need to adapt to the new rules.

I remember in last year's playoffs (or was it two years ago) Ovechkin gone knee-on-knee on one of the Flyers, Gostisbehere if I'm not mistaken, in the first round.
Him and Wilson are predators with high hits and knee-on-knee hits. It can't be accidentical when they done it many times.
Ovi doesn't get much s** talked about him for his dirty play, but his constant charges and high hits+wooden chops(really hard slashes) lead to many injured players over the years. I'd absolutely put "dirty player" label on him.

Only Sid and Geno get the “dirty superstar” monikers.
Early in Ovechkin’s career, nearly every one of his hits were charges and nobody ever called him on it, they just marveled at how big and strong he was.
It has worked out great for the Caps getting Wilson so that he can take all those runs at players while Ovie can protect his aging body and focus on scoring.

Which is frustrating...when the only guy that really deserves that label, not only doesn't get it, but gets away with the dirty stuff time and time again.

as much as Letang is frustrating, he's one of maybe 3 d-man on the team that can pass up the ice with his head up
Waiting for season to end so I can leave now that the NHL has made its intentions clear as day.
There are a slew of stars that have healthy reputations of “dirty” play but Sid and Geno get the focus.
Ovechkin, Marchand, Perry, Getzlaf, Subban, Buff, etc all have colorful histories but hey get a pass. Sid or Geno give someone a slash to the calf after taking a whole game of their shit and they are raked over the coals for it.

Are you restricting it to the playoffs only?
There was that one time Ovechkin "tried to chop a puck" by going through Letang's leg first. I think that was a regular season game, though.

Why do we never have a guy capable of laying some abuse on other teams stars? I just cannot figure it out. We haven't had a guy like that since Bobby Farnham or Max Talbot, and don't tell me anyone of that ilk isn't infinitely better than Tom Kuhnackl, Carter Rowney, or Dominick Simon.
Teams have absolute free reign over the entire ice, never once having to worry about being taken out.

Orpik may be the biggest piece of shit on that team. The ultimate faux tough guy.

Why won’t the most successful team since the NHL lockout in 05-06 mimic other teams that have literally no post season success!!!!!!!!

We won the cup without Letang last year. Why'd we keep him?
We were pretty successful too when we had those types of guys. We were usually derailed in the playoffs by Fleury not being able to stop a medicine ball

Farnham never played a playoff game.
The game has changed since Talbot in 09. And there was a reason we let him walk.
The Letang argument is the most asinine thing I have ever heard from the collective mind of Penguins fans.

Anyone of our players could deliver a head shot. They don’t because it’s supposed to be against the rules [MOD]

I'm going to assume the blanked out word is 'cats'. It's cats, right?

Can you explain in detail what has changed about the game since 2009? Thanks.
The point of Letang is, just because something works one year, doesn't mean it'll work every year
