We get it Greg Millen.
CRosby is Canadian and ovechkin isn't.
He just said ovechkin has got to be the difference because Crosby is.
All ovechkin does is try and help his team win did he not watch game one? He even helped the caps answer tonight.
When the caps were eliminated the last two years in overtime to the rangers and pens did you know where ovechkin was? The bench.
It's pretty hard to stop your season ending from the bench.
Ovechkin has a perfectly acceptable ppg in the playoffs.
His teammates disappear!
Why isn't vezina holtby called in to question for allowing soft goals on barely any shots.
How about shattenkirk for doing nothing and being in the ice for every pens goal.
What about the lack of burakovsky, oshie, backstrom??
Where are those guys?
Ovechkin gives his all. I can't even explain how mad Greg millen is making me I put it in mute for he first time in years.
We all know it is not all Ovechkins fault that the capitals have failed and massively underachieved in the postseason. We can debate just how much of the blame lies with him and he most certainly is not the biggest culprit.
However, when you are considered a "generational" star, one of the biggest stars in the league for over a decade now and the face of the franchise and you can't get past the 2nd round in your career on a team that has been a multiple presidents trophy winner, you are going to get bashed.
I don't care where the player has his passport and grew up, the player is gonna get it both barrels.................that's just a fact. If Crosby was in his position he would be getting it the same. But he isn't because he has 2 Stanley Cups, a Conn Smythe, the Golden Goal, 2 olympic golds, etc.
You know it and I know it.
Can you imagine Wayne Gretzky with all his records and domination of the game and the teams he played on never getting past the 2nd round in his playing career? He would have caught flak to no end and still be considered as the greatest scorer of all time who couldn't get it done where it mattered most.
Ovechkin wins a cup, it ends immediately. Don't play the nationality card, we all know that isn't true.
