Ovie is a good goal scorer, but he's got nothing when it comes to containing Sid. His line misses Backstrom.
Backstrom wants none of sid. Their compete levels are not exactly in sync.
I feel like he use to contain Sid a bit, though, making it the Ovi vs Malkin show.

So this is likely the final series before we are the definitive underdogs. I don’t mind losing to a better team. Particularly such likable teams like Tampa and Winnipeg have.

If we can just make it through the next couple games, this is going to start being fun. Not one moment of this playoffs where we haven’t had imminent victory has been fun.

If Geno, Phil, and Derick were healthier we could take anyone in the league. Really need some secondary scoring.

Being the villain is way more fun than being the underdog fan favorite.
i like being the villain.

but like dodint, i can't deal with the stupidity. don't care who it's directed at, but it just hurts to read.

McKenzie says all hits to head should be illegal. International rules.

There is hope.

What about hits to the shoulder that slide to the head?

What Bob is saying legitimately has a pulse in the league currently. It really does. I see a realistic scenario where maybe a CBA or two from now we're in that zone...I really do.

Not sure if its been posted, (I have everyone foe'd) but the view of the hit from up above the benches is just brutal. If he had connected any better he may have killed the guy.

The game is faster than it was 2 years ago. And it’s very very enjoyable. I’d like to see every team play like Vegas, so yes - switch to international standards.

If the Pens get the first goal in Game 5 that arena will turn into a morgue. I'm looking forward to it.
That's my thinking as well.

It will happen. As long as you get the GDT and include rage Pepe

Seems pretty simple really. If you can't avoid the head then just don't go for the hit.

maybe I haven't been paying attention but it seems like Ovi has been a lot more controlled about his hits this series

obviously he still has big hits but they seem less dirty than they were in previous years.

Wilson should learn that you can still have big hits without killing a guy

Holtby is complaining about goalie interference on a play where his defensemen literally tackled the guy to the side of the net and I'm not sure exactly how much contact was even there. I mean it's not like someone slashed his pad and took him off balance for a second as a potential goal scorer was taking the puck to the net or anything.
Just read his comments about the alleged interference. The Caps players might be as demented in their thinking as their fans are. They deserve each other.

I mean I watched the play again after reading his quote, and I wonder what alternate universe he lives in.

It's all working the officials. I would argue that the league/officials are pretty easily manipulated. I would be willing to bet that if there is a questionable goalie interference call, it goes that Caps way. Aside from maybe professional wrestling, no league is more obsessed with executing "make up" calls.

Holtby is complaining about the whack Hornqvist gave him. Right prior to the tackle.

We have been pretty aggressive with digging at him, I’ll admit. Most of it before the whistle. Some of it after.

I’m sure he was then asked about the hack on Murray in game 2. And I’m sure he retained objectivity.

I’m sure he doesn’t give two shts what happens at the other end. This isn’t goalies vs players. This is Washington vs Pittsburgh. Holtby is frustrated with Hornqvist whacking at him. He’s tired of Sid trying to separate his nuts from his body. And he’s got a fairly legitimate gripe.

Yes yes. But I reserve whataboutism rights as long as it all occurs in the same series. This is about shmenguin vs. stupidity. Don’t be on the wrong side, meow.

It’s pretty flimsy, but I’ll allow it
