Don't worry, I'm generally done bitching about Ovechkin...unless someone tries to say he's a great guy and deserving. He ain't that.Indifference71 said:This thread used to be fun but like most things on the internet has gone right down the shitter.0 -
I enjoyed the typos and syntax errors. It's like we had our own Donald Trump posting for us.tempo_n_groove said:

Who said Ovechkin needs an enforcer. But since your such a knowledgeable hockey fan then you already know why the enforcers are part of the game ... and a great part of the game.mrussel1 said:
yeah no shit.. Gretzky had an enforcer? Who knew... I'm asking why Ovi needs one. Thanks for the unnecessary history lesson.Meltdown99 said:
When did you start following hockey ... the post Bettman era. Post Tampa entering the league era. At one time many top lines featured enforcers. Gretzky had Semenko/McSorley, Yzerman had Probert, Bossy/Trottier had Gillies and on and on ... the instigator rule has changed the role of the enforcer for the worst...beside Ovechkin does not shy away from the rough stuff...mrussel1 said:
Why does Ovechkin play with Wilson anyway? Does he need protection?pjsteelerfan said:Wonder how Tom Wilson will act with Ryan Reaves looking back at him from the other side?Give Peas A Chance…0 -
I asked why Ovi was playing with one. Wilson's skill level, hands, points, etc. seem more in line with 3rd or check line. Just seems odd that Ovi's playing with a lunkhead who has 5x as many PIM as points. I can only assume it's protection.Meltdown99 said:

Yeah, enforcers are the best. I put it up there with the two line pass and the left wing lock.0 -

No two line pass + the trap makes for great hockey! Nothing was more exciting than watching Sweet Lou's Devils play in the 90's. So exciting with all of that ice closed off..blah.dankind said:

Either way, history will be made! This has all the makings of an awesome SCF! I'm slightly rooting for Vegas, but seeing Ovi lift the Cup will bring a smile as well.tempo_n_groove said:I'm rooting for the Caps and Ovechkin. The Knights is a nice story but I'd rather see the Big O get a cup win.

That Capitals organization has seen far too many disappointments over the years. That said if Vegas wins I'd be fine with that, somebody had to have put down $100 on the Knights @ 500-1.

Why do you think the coach has him up there with Ovi! And there are some pretty damn good enforcers ... Probert is pretty much up there as a favourite wing for most wing fans...but whatever...we get it you don't like Ovi because he's associated with Putin...Let me see, your country politicians have no problem doing business with Saudi Arabia ... and there is that little perpetual Middle East war that's been raging for how many years?

#TeamPutin - Ovi
Go to the AMT and try to find a post where I defend any of the behavior or politics that you are trying to pin on me. And keep defending Ovi's "politics" with false equivalency.0 -

I'm worried about Vegas. They seemed slow in the conference finals.. I thought both ECF teams played with more speed and skill than WCF. Maybe it was style..Nami said:man we got to wait till monday for this to start? damn.
Finally some hockey tonight!This is going to be a great series. With both teams having some down time, I expect a slow start tonight.

That alone is worth watching. With them being a new franchise they can just about put on any kind of a show they want. For the most part they certainly do.Meltdown99 said:I can hardly wait to see what spectacle Vegas plans before the start of the game...

Would you like to know what I think of Alex Ovechkin? Let me know. I have a three page dissertation I can post.Nami said:Meltdown99 said:I can hardly wait to see what spectacle Vegas plans before the start of the game...
