Sick of Ovechkin-bashing on commentary

[Tage2Tuch]

OVechkin is now 2nd in hits this playoffs to Preds Austin Watson

 

[Sam Spade]

ofcourse he needs to do it..., nobody expecting that he doesnt do it. its not like he has another hofer that can just do it for him.

Yeah he actually has two cause MAF will be a HOF'er when it's all said and done as well.

 

[Philadelphia Ducks]

Ovie better hope Holtby plays like the Holtby of a week ago or else he might miss his favorite event, the world championships.

Louis CK, is that you?

 

[Philadelphia Ducks]

Knew he'd put up an egg when it came to count. WC's group round is coming to an end, he needs to get there in time for eliminations. Deserves all the criticism he gets in the media.

 

[Kuz]

To bad the Caps couldnt put a team at this level when Ovi was at his best. When the overall team finally is good Ovi is not even half the player he once was. A team like this in the years with prime Ovi the Caps would have had a cup.

 

[MSZ]

-2 tonight. While Crosby created the first goal.

He's a superstar who's barely over 30. Ovechkin shares in the blame for yet another failure.

That is going to be with sub 15 mins EV TOI too. Counting the 2 minutes he's going to get with the empty net.

 

[Fandlauer]

That's ok. He'll get to show what he's really made of when he ditches the team to go play in the Olympics against ECHLers next year.

 

[Griffin6612]

He's a loser. Theirs no way around it.

 

[ijuka]

Ovechkin showed once again that he's a choker and an awful captain. His speciality is helping his team lose important games.

 

[FlamesFan18]

"Glad I could help ya win a 3rd cup Sid"

 

[Dr Pepper]

I still feel for the guy.

First ballot hall of famer, but those Caps just can't get over the hump.

 

[412 Others]

one trick pony. couldn't pull out the series win despite the tonya harding act on sid.

 

[Sleepy]

When Sid plays like ****, team Canada or Malkin carry him to the next round. When Ovechkin plays like **** his team goes scoreless.

 

[mrhockey193195]

Ovechkin is still a superstar at putting the puck in the net, but he's not the dynamic player he was from 05-10. More like Brett Hull, less like Eric Lindros. I just don't think he can be your "best" player anymore. And considering what he's being paid, I think that means Washington needs to consider moving him.

Washington's depth and goaltending is phenomenal. At some point, you just have to say that the top guys aren't cutting it. That's Backstrom and Ovechkin to me.

Put Ovi from 05-10 on this team, and this series might be very different.

 

[winnipegger]

He's one part of the team. He's not the player he was 7-8 years ago. There's a lot of blame to go around on the Caps, getting shutout in a game 7... good god.

 

[Cassano]

It's well deserved. Dude cost his team tonight with terrible defending on both goals.

 

[Calderon]

The thread title is too long. The three first words suffice.

 

[Knave]

I think Shattenkirk and Holtby are the main ones to blame for that second goal.

 

[Gnome17]

40 points in his past 70 playoff games, since 11-12.
I love Ovechkin, overall he has been the most entertaining player to watch the past 10+ years for me, but he just cant pull it off in the playoffs for whatever reason.

Edit: his past 60, not 70.

 

[syc]

Those biased Canucks, Ovy dominated this game. It was his coach, teammates and goaltender. /s

Good luck going for gold ovy.

 

[LeafsLegendAkiBerg]

He's a loser. Theirs no way around it.

Most teams would lose to the Pens in a seven game series. I guess most of the players in the NHL are losers.

It's only not a team game when we are talking about Ovechkin.
