By the way, I hate “Ovechkin has scored more goals against Lundqvist than anyone else.” Hasn’t he played more games against Lundqvist than anyone else?

 

[Skrudland2Lomakin]

$4.5? Lol we’re paying $5.7 for an AHL/ECHL tweener. For 3. More. Years.

Damn, whose contract is that?

Headlinezzzzzzzz

 

[Tawnos]

Again, I'll take my chances.

And again, you’ll lose. Or do you consider it a moral victory if Oshie scores against you instead of Ovechkin?

 

[will1066]

It's still a game and we are playing against the cup champs in their building. Not sure how anyone can be mad how we are playing.

We've been close every game, even the Carolina game until it slipped away. We've really blown a fast start because of inability to finish.

 

[Tob]

The message for the PK is to not panic. The team is panicking and throwing the puck like a hot potato. 2 PPGA all on plays that had 2-3 chances to be cleared but gets knocked down.

 

[CHGoalie27]

...and here I am thinking why for the last 14 years people leave that guy open in the same f***ing spot..

Like what the f*ck you standing over there for?? The guy to watch is over there!!

 

[Machinehead]

I'll take my chances that Oshie won't score over leaving the best shooter who ever lived wide open.

It's a simple concept.

Bc stupid, stupid plays (i dont count stuff like failed clears on the PK here) are stupid and shouldn't be made regardless of your talent level.

Overall im happy with the effort level. I think most here are.

Not Oshie or Carlson. I'm okay with Kuznetsov and maybe Backstrom.

Its a Bill Belichick mentality. Take their best player away. Never let their best player beat you.

I guess you could make it a 4 on 3 and see how that goes lol

I think they showed a stat at the beginning of the 2nd that stated Hank is like 21-12 against Washington.

 

[Machinehead]

Some serious Nashing going on in this interview.

 

[Tob]

DeBrusk went to the Nash school of interviews.

Was thinking the samething.. STOP LOOKING AT THE CAMERA

their PP revolves around him being open. if you shadow him and someone else is open, its bad that they're open, but Ovechkin is already open and he's Alexander Ovechkin

 

[Harbour Dog]

I think Jake Debrusk is hitting on me.

 

[Tob]

Yikes, Pierre with the claw on the shoulder like a creepy uncle.

Simple concepts are often flawed. Players tried to shadow Gretzky and Lemieux. They tried pressuring Brett Hull and containing Jaromir Jagr. Keying on players doesn’t work if they’re surrounded by other talent. It never has.

Right?

It's a f***ing PP, somebody will be open. Why should it be their best player?

I'm not saying you have to full-on shadow him. Just treat him like a normal threat. The Rangers are playing him like he's Cody McLeod.

[will1066]

No, he’s the son of Alf Turcotte, who was Ranger property at one time.

Is Jake Debrusk Louie's kid?

 

[Tawnos]

I'll take my chances.

And you’ll lose.

 

[Crease]

By the way, I hate “Ovechkin has scored more goals against Lundqvist than anyone else.” Hasn’t he played more games against Lundqvist than anyone else?

Better him than Patrik Elias.

 

[NYR94]

By the way, I hate “Ovechkin has scored more goals against Lundqvist than anyone else.” Hasn’t he played more games against Lundqvist than anyone else?

Probably. They both entered the league the same year and have played in the same conference or division their entire careers.
