Post-Game Talk: GAME 75 - Bruins silence the horn guy - BRUINS 3 Russian Machine 2 F/SO

[xStanleyCupsFor]

There sure was a bunch of hype over Ovie heading into this match-up - 17 goals over his last 20-something games or what have you. I swear I heard his name about 4 times all game and the only highlight was him crying like a baby about a non-call.

He's just there to get his record. It's going to suck when it happens. Gretzky for the last 6 seasons of his career wasn't even trying to score.

It was great to win after that BS double minor. Hard to believe that there was no agenda there, give me a F****g break.

The poor guy sitting behind, plugging his ears. I would be so upset if I ended up beside that thing, he should sue for hearing loss. I have to mute the sound when it starts, it makes my blood pressure rise....lol

That's quite a technique he's got. Freak!

I live in the northern Virginia area. It may be some consolation to know that when Ovechkin retires, the Caps franchise, motivated by marketing, will collapse like a ton of bricks. As you saw with the horn guy, the fan base is a collection of people who know little about hockey, except for the contingent of displaced people who know the game who came from other places. The whole rock the red thing is ridiculous. I honestly hope he does not break Gretzky’s record. At least Gretzky did not stand in one place and shoot.

TJ Oshie says hold my beer

Yeah, Oshie would fit right in with the Wings

I lived in northern Virginia many moons ago when the Capitals joined the NHL. Your description of the fan base now was my experience back then. A small number of folks who came from hockey areas and the rest complete neophytes who sort of watched the games but spent a lot of time eating and socializing away from their seats.

The team showed cartoonish videos between periods to explain the rules of the game—what’s an offside, icing, etc. Definitely not a normal hockey experience.

Lindholm has turned it up a notch. This is solid news.

 

[caz16]

I watched the highlights on SportsNet and they showed Pasta's shootout goal as the winner, not Shattenkirk's....lol Amateurs!

 

[bruinmann77]

Break PK love what Peeke brings and man what a snipe from Shatty. Sway was nice with the win tonight stepping up. The bruins need to continue to build up momentum into the playoffs

 

[Lordstanley]

To be honest, I'm glad the Caps got a point, because I'd rather see them beat out Detroit for the last playoff spot

..the Wings are a bunch of sniveling, diving, crybabies

True that.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but before they joined the NHL, rookie Gretzky scored 46 more goals in the WHA that don't count in this race.

Yep and that 46 would likely put it out of Ovie's reach. To me, the WHA stuff ought to count.
