Really? I think it's hard not to like Ovi this year. If this was other years where he was mediocre in the playoffs I'd agree but he has a completely different attitude and is less cocky and more of a hard worker with doing everything including blocking multiple shots a game. Besides Holtby, I think his transformation is probably one of the biggest changes for the caps.

I wouldn't call Ovechkin's previous playoff performances mediocre simply because he's blocked a few shots this year. Look at his prior numbers - he's often been the only reason the Caps have gotten as far as they did. Whatever he wasn't contributing defensively, he was contributing offensively.

True, mediocre is the wrong word but I think he definitely looks better/more rounded this time around than previously. I think it's an improvement.

Edit: Just watched Torts post game... Dude is so salty.

Yeah :( It's not like the offseason where it's the summer and I know there won't be hockey, but now it's just it starts to die down and longer between games, as opposed to so much going on in the first round.

edit: at least the CHL is wrapping up and the Memorial Cup starts soon as well, so that's a bonus.

So Kaner was apparently going up to girls, pulling their glasses down, going "good enough" and making out with them. :lol

...But multiple witnesses said he was kicked out of a party for trying to two-hand choke a girl. If that's true, I hope he gets shit on by police in Madison. I don't even care.

THIS is why this shit isn't okay.

Multiple witnesses have also seen Bigfoot, UFOs, and a working trickle down economics system as well.

...because partying always leads to two-hand choking?

Holtby is not only a boss but he also became a dad today. Hunter and his fiancé Brandi Bodnar had their baby boy this afternoon and named him Benjamin Hunter Holtby. :lol

correct about everything
hockey noob question: what happens if a goalie moves the goal on purpose? say he sees two or more players break away towards him and it looks like it's going to be a certain goal, so he just knocks the goal down? is it just delaying the game and he gets 2 minutes, or is it something worse?

The NHL takes custody of his first-born son.

And a penalty shot.

The playoffs are practically dead to me at this point. Did need to come in to post how amazing John Tortorella's post-game press conferences are. They are simply amazing.

Hahaha

He's the best. I know fans shit on him for not talking and being rude, but can you blame with some of the questions. Why did you call a timeout? Should've asked the reporter if he was breathing during the game.
