GDT: caps at rongos

With the amount of money he is making, yes, he is a HUGE bust now. There is more to the game than just scoring. When I watch him, I feel like he is really uninvolved.

He has become a turnover machine. I don't know why fans ooh and way when he rushes up the ice, unless they are saying "oh no". I'm seriously wondering about alcoholism or something.
 
Not to use it as the reason why they lost the game, but it does hurt to be missing Green, Erskine, and Orlov. That is three important piece to the defense.
 
Well the NYR was good in the allovergame. No shame loosing to Gaborik, Nash, Richards and Callahan ?!

Backstrom is pretty good in that faceoff circle 13-0
 
I realize Ovechkin is going no where. Leonsis is a businessman first and a fan second. He just needs to look around the Verizon Center at all of the fans wearing Ovechkin gear.

The problem is that this team should no longer have Ovechkin as the center piece. Remove the C from his jersey and along with it comes the weight from his shoulders. I think his game changed after he got the C.

Being the team Captain has become a distraction/nuisance for him and in return has impacted his play.
 
Andrew Lang, not to be confused with Quentin Laing, once noted

He uses statistics as a drunken man uses lamp-posts...for support rather than illumination.

Of course, since stats were introduced to the entire conversation by someone in favor of the Ovechkin 'bust' argument (Ovechderp has 9 derps while the leaderp has 19 derps), introducing Ovechkin's career stats and his goal total from last year in support of a counterargument was absolutely warranted and Ovechkin's career speaks more to the point that he's not a bust than it does that he is.

If we can't judge a 27 year-old goal-scorer's career by the goals he scores, then what?
 
Kundratek overhandles the puck and makes a giveaway, time to blame Ovechkin.

Terrible terrible game, must forget.

Fans chanting "LGR". Not even sure how to react. The team has no pride whatever.
 
- Caps puck possession has been non-existant today

- NBC announcers are brutal...i can't stand listening to how great Callahan is at living

- OV may be unfairly focused on normally, but today he was CRAPPY...
 
1 game we look like a playoff team

Next game we look like we are tanking

Just ****ing pick one and stop confusing us
