Ovechkin is probably the 2nd best forward of the past decade. that most likely makes you a top 50 player of all time. I guess the question is where do you draw the line and how do you define guys who played 50+ years ago. In my lifetime he is definitely one of the top 50.Post edited by pjhawks on0

Negative. Read more carefully. I was asking what your point was by stating the caps were up 2 when you said they Won't win it. So I'm wondering what The 2 game lead proves to you. The Putin support has nothing to do with his work on ice. Nowhere did I say it did. You are misrepresenting, poorly, what I said. I think it makes him a bad person though.Meltdown99 said:
So where have I said the Capitals are winning it? I thought your argument was that Ovechkin was not a great leader because he was a supporter of some politician. So when are you going validate your arguments with facts?mrussel1 said:
No awards for being up in a series, last I checked. You're the one that said they won't win it this year, so what's your point?Meltdown99 said:
The leaderless capitals are how somehow up 2-0, at least Tampa has great leadership...mrussel1 said:
No, you're right. You don't need to have a C to be a leader. But having a C means you have to be a leader. And the player with the C who is also the most talented player on the team, bares the lion share of responsibility for failure to win the Cup. And I'm not talking any captain in the league, rather one that is on a team with championship aspirations.Meltdown99 said:He must be the only 600+ goal scorer that'll never be considered top 50. I provided a pretty good example of a captain (Gretzky) who many said was a cherry picker that was not the team leaderm on the ice (Messier was) The captains role is to act as a liaison between coach and ref, and other players and coach. Unless there is something I'm not aware of, I've never heard any moaning from the capitals locker room. Leadership can come from any player ... Patrick Roy was the leader of Montreal's last 2 championships ... you do not need a letter on your jersey to be a leader...

Fuck Ovie! Fuck D.C.! Fuck Holtby! But mostly, fuck the fuckin' Bolts for not even bothering to show up for the past two games. What the fuckin' fuck!?!
Fuck!!!I SAW PEARL JAM0 -
^^^At least I don't have any money riding on them. Only a true dumbass would do something like that. :whistle:

They're eating chips, watchin Ovy and da boys skate around them like pylons. I expect a better response from them in the next game though... Yzerman should put on his skates and show them how its done.Post edited by Nami onHamilton 9-13-05; Toronto 5-9-06, Toronto 8-21-09, Toronto 9-12-11, Hamilton 9-15-11....0 -
That's the damn truth about Stevie Y. Either that, or Andrychuk should suit up, rip the C from Stamkos sweater and show them how to win.Nami said:dankind said:Fuck Ovie! Fuck D.C.! Fuck Holtby!

I think Ovie could have played in any era ... but if he played in the 80's...he might be challenging Gretzky's goal record ...pjhawks said:Ovechkin is probably the 2nd best forward of the past decade. that most likely makes you a top 50 player of all time.

There was also a time Stevie Y wasn't considered a good captain ... look how it all played out in the end...Nami said:dankind said:Fuck Ovie! Fuck D.C.! Fuck Holtby! But mostly, fuck the fuckin' Bolts for not even bothering to show up for the past two games. What the fuckin' fuck!?!

The long layoff caught up with the Bolts, I expect them to be better next game. There's too much offense on that team to get rolled over like the last 2 games, and the goalie has to play better.

it's really bizarre to have lived through the Jets being borderline terrible for most of my childhood....to them leaving....to them being terrible when they came back.....to being this close to the cup. it's kind of surreal, even for a casual fan.
winnipeg is usually only mentioned by americans in some sort of joking way, or a "where the fuck is that?" way......now people and celebrities are talking about this city all over the place. it's weird.Your boos mean nothing to me, for I have seen what makes you cheer0 -
I just hope they can finish the job...still a lot of hockey left.HughFreakingDillon said:it's really bizarre to have lived through the Jets being borderline terrible for most of my childhood....to them leaving....to them being terrible when they came back.....to being this close to the cup. it's kind of surreal, even for a casual fan.
