Ovechkin guarantees game 7 win vs NYR

[GlassesJacketShirt]

Sounds like the Ovechkin quote was wildly overblown. He may have an enigmatic personality, but he never came across as downright arrogant like Messier, and his quote seems to be one of confidence in his team rather than some chest thumping maneuver.

****ing media over-blows everything.

That was a different situation as Ottawa was down 3-1 and getting dominated by Pittsburgh. In the 2003/04 season, Alfie took it a step further than Ovechkin, guaranteeing that the Sens would win the Cup. They obviously did not win, and people have long forgotten about that. The same thing will happen here, it will pass.

maybe not, OV gets much more spotlight than Alfie

No, No. There is so much things to talk about now with the media this will get buried fast, when Alfie did it on a Canadian team when news stories went slower it was bigger and that is still kind of forgotten, people won't even remember Ovi talking about playing the bolts this time next year.

Q: Do you think you can win?
A: Yes. I believe my team can win the game.

Fan response: TERRIBLE CAPTAIN! TOO COCKY! STONE HIM!

Alternate:

Q: Do you think you can win?
A: Anything can happen.

Fan Response: TERRIBLE CAPTAIN! NO CONFIDENCE! STONE HIM!

He didn't say we CAN win. He said we WILL win.

And he was wrong.
