New York Post publishes disgusting hit piece on Ovechkin and the Washington Capitals

[rfournier103]

The NY Post is a tabloid rag that is written at a 4th grade reading level.

Unfit for serious grownup consumption.

It's 2018, stop giving journalists clicks. Use Archive.is to create a backup to view instead. Here, I did it for you

Stanley Cup win doesn’t erase Alex Ovechkin’s ledger of losing

correction: stop giving hacks clicks. Definitely give good journalists pushing out free content clicks- it's the new lifeblood of the industry.

 

[Brock Radunske]

It's just hack writer who's team is now a bottom-feeder so he has nothing to write about.

 

[PanthersPens62]

It's Brooksie....'nuff said

 

[domaug]

Didn't click or read but here's my question. If Ovi is a loser to this guy even after winning the cup, what is Lundqvist?

the King of Losers?

i wanted to use "King".

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Somehow, the toad who wrote that piece is going into the Hockey Hall of Fame. He makes up the Mount Rushmore of awful pieces of shit who cover the sport, alongside Steve Simmons and Damian Cox.

That's Hockey Hall of Famer Larry Brooks to you.

That's Hockey Hall of Famer Larry Brooks to you.

(ahem....) IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOU CALL HIM!

 

[ckg927]

Brooks and the NY Post are both garbage. Don't bother clicking.

I've been to or through New York a couple of times and have picked up a few newspapers to have something to read on my way home to Buffalo.

Guess which paper I DIDN'T purchase?

 

[ckg927]

It kind is by default, its circulation is higher than respected organizations like the Washington Post. Which is why you see people like OP and posters here actually taking it seriously, even though its just routine clickbait by Brooks

Yeah, well, maybe that's because NYC has more people who live there than in the Washington, DC area...AND you can purchase the Post up here in Buffalo.

Un****ing believable.

Side note: does anyone remember some clown Russian journalist came out of the woodwork with some massive Ovi hit piece on Twitter after he was eliminated last year?

Boy, that aged well.

Is this true? Did he actually write that article? That's great.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Lundqvist wasn't shutting down many teams at all this year.

 

[Senor Catface]

lol at anyone who equates the general state/quality of journalism as a whole with a Larry Brooks article.

 

[Revelation]

Hasn't Ovechkin scored more goals on Lundqvist than anyone else has?

 

[4thTierSport]

I just can't help but wonder what the NYP's opinion of Lundqvist is if Ovechkin's still a playoff choker in their minds.

Right!? Best part is a goalie can win more games “by themselves” then any other position.

 

[illpucks]

Torts called this guy out
Torts's player (Dan Boyle) called this guy out years later

 

[illpucks]

Hasn't Ovechkin scored more goals on Lundqvist than anyone else has?

Pretty sure Sid has more goals on Hank than any other goalie

 

[Little Psycho]

the King of Losers?

i wanted to use "King".

That nickname has always sat funny with me. Think they jumped the gun with that one!

 

[Konnan511]

What a knob.

 

[Revelation]

Pretty sure Sid has more goals on Hank than any other goalie

Most goals allowed by lundqvist is against Ovie no?

 

[Hennessy]

Used to be a tabloid rag like the NY Post was recognized for what it was and put in its own category (or the trash). Nowadays, all media lies (except for that blog you agree with), and the Post is just another in a long list of Fake News purveyors. Read something you don't like? Fake news. Facts don't support your feelings? Fake news. Hell, before long, you won't be receptive to any information at all that hasn't been filtered by your own biases.
What a time to be alive.

 

[Fataldogg]

Lundqvist wasn't shutting down many teams at all this year.

Lundqvist played well on a bad defensive team.

Rangers were 2nd in HDCA, and be posted a .915.

No other goalie on a team in the bottom 8 for HDCA was above a .910 [including Holtby, Murray] besides Lundqvist and Raanta.

You making a statement without context is meaningless.

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

It's Larry Brooks. Nobody gives two shits about what he says, because it's always dumb.

You might as well start a thread about how bad Eklund's rumours or Glenn Healy's commentaries are.

 

[shtorm2005]

New York Post office.

 

[IamNotADancer]

Yeah, not too long ago I was supposed to congratulate Brooks for being inducted into the HoF. I have no inclination of congratulatingba wannabe journalist who writes like an asshole.

f*** him
