No point in discussing further. One player can't win games. He didn't even guarantee a win. Arguing over pointless ****. I guess Ovi haters have to hate on something he does/says.
The most invisible player in OT, floating around like a dumb ***
Ovechkin - 1
NY Rangers - 0
invisible in period 2 and 3 and nice give away in OT, yup right about sums it up
Ain't it the truth.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!

He gave the NYR the ultimate bulletin board material. No, not his fault alone, but he didn't help.
How many posters had this thread open all OT just to be "that guy"? Sheesh. Wasn't AO's fault.
His team more than earned the win tonight, neither side could be upset if they lost. Caps deserved it based on OT alone.
Why? You think this actually made a difference? A difference greater than Mike Green taking the dumbest penalty in the world moments after the Caps killed off another dumb Mike Green penalty? You think it made the Rangers try harder than they were going to try anyway? You think the Ranger guys have never been interviewed and didn't know what the context of that quote was? You think it was the difference in overtime? So, tell me just what effect did you think it had?And that is why you keep your mouth shut in the playoffs.

Because I am sure the NYR needed THIS to create some motivation....
Probably his best chance at making it to the ECF for a while.

If you look at the history between these two teams in these situations the Caps had no chance.
He had to try to do something to spark his team, so I wouldn't be too hard on him.
Certainly the History is alarming, but this logic makes no sense. Who ever played the better 60 minutes (or 70 something) won the game. How people could tie the outcome of this game to past teams of which none of the players participated in the game tonight is funny. Yep how bout them '87 Caps?
I don't know, I just had the feeling once the Rangers won game 5 the Caps were done, considering past series with the Caps.
He could have taken the Alfredsson route and just flat out said no.
