Sure looks like an elbowing penalty was called to me. But what do I know. I'm just some silly Canes fan who should probably be watching NASCAR or something like that.

Sorry, when I was watching I swear they all just kept skating, maybe I fell asleep, like most of the Caps.

 

[StormCast]

As a player you don’t care who the other player is. If they want smoke, you give it to them.

That's laughable.

How do you know this? I don’t know because I wasn’t on the ice. Do you have some on ice audio we don’t know about or are you just siding with your boy? How do you know Svechnikov is telling the truth? I know I don’t know Ovie personally so I have no idea who is telling the truth. More to the point, get over it. It’s done. As they say, “don’t want nothing, don’t start nothing”, and now the young lad knows.

Watch the video in slow motion. Ovechkin says something to Svech, the rookie nods and then it starts.

 

[Skrudland2Lomakin]

And yet you weighed in on whose version of the story to believe, implying that you do care who started it. Pick a story and stick with it. Moving goal posts can be an exhausting process.

I did?

Watch the video in slow motion. Ovechkin says something to Svech, the rookie nods and then it starts.

Svech: Drop your gloves!

Ovie: What? You really wanna do this?

Svech: *nods*

 

[StormCast]

Williams and Ovechkin are the more experienced players in these equations, if either of them are challenged to a fight it is their prerogative to accept or demure.

Classic. You are just embarrassing yourself now.

Ovie: What? You really wanna do this?

Svech: *nods*

Still too lazy to watch it I guess. Oh well...you can lead a horse to water.

Sorry that it doesn't fit your narrative. I've seen the video plenty of times. You don't know what was said before. Anything that you believe is all in your mind, both ways.

But carry on with your poor victimization route. It feels good.

 

[Ahoy there]

Super stars shouldn't fight at all. Svechnikov showed a lot of disrespect for greatest goalscorer after challenging him. Fortunately he got what deserved.

There are conflicting reports here. Rod the bod said Svech was NOT the one who challenged him. Don't know the truth and don't care at this point, but your premise may not be correct.

Rod Brind'Amour explicitly said that Ovechkin was lying and he provoked the fight. Svechnikov agreed to fight after being provoked which 1) Svech shouldn't have and 2) Ovechkin should be above.

I'll take Brind'Amour's word over Ovi 10/10 times. But what really matters to the game is what the Canes player's think, and I can 100% guarantee all of you they believe their coach over Ovechkin.

Ovi was there, Rod wasn’t

Unless he followed up his initial press conference stating he spoke with Svech about who started it, I’m 90% sure he just watched the video like Canes fans and had his opinion

Watch the video in slow motion. Ovechkin says something to Svech, the rookie nods and then it starts.

Svech: Let's go b**ch! (Давай, блядь! Давай! / Davai blyat'! Davai!)
Ovi: Really? (Давай? / Davai?)
Svech: Yeah! (Давай! / Davai!)
That was their dialog before the fight.

How the hell would Rod Brind'Amour know 100% what was said. He wasn't near there. He's relying on his player's word, as well he should. He should back his guy.

But you can't take Rod Brind'Amour's word 100%.

Who cares?

Brind'Amour did speak with Svech about it and Brind'Amour said that 100% Ovechkin was lying.

Imagine thinking a cup check is dirtier than a blatant headshot. Brutal takes from the canes fanbase but not unexpected with all the new fans.

Did you miss the words "From a perspective of premeditation" or just choose to ignore them? Orpik tried to disguise the foul. Ovi and Hamilton's were pretty out in the open.

 

[peterthegreat12]

I never thought I’d see the day where fans are arguing over who asked to fight. Who cares? Two grown men agreed to fight and one got hurt. That is what happens when you fight...why is this so hard to understand?

 

[Ahoy there]

There was no call on the flying elbow. You might want to pay more attention to the game.

If you need me to snip and paste it I'll gladly do it for you. He was called for a penalty. Check the boxscore and maybe do it prior to puffing up and being wrong. It's not a great look to be wrong when being condescending.

You may want to consider looking up the definition of premeditation...

Cool. Can you ask Roddie what tie he's wearing tonight seeing you're close enough to him to make a 90% prediction of his actions? Thanks.

 

[Ahoy there]

Canes fans turning a blind eye to the dirtiest hit of this series, Hamilton’s blatant elbow to the head of Kuznetsov. Guy takes all day to line up the hit and decides to bring his elbow up an extra foot to Kuznetsov’s face. But yeah sure, the Caps are the only team playing dirty in this series.

Nope. Dirty play on both sides; just like in every series. Players will go as far as officiating allow them. "Dirtiest" hit of the series? L.O.L.

Svech: Let's go b**ch! (Давай, блядь! Давай! / Davai blyat'! Davai!)
Ovi: Really? (Давай? / Davai?)
Svech: Yeah! (Давай! / Davai!)

TIL you can use 'davai' for just about anything in Russian.

"I have some terrible news... I'm afraid, you are HIV.. davai" ".... ... ............."

Anyone want to actually discuss hockey??

Hits, elbows, fights, caps "not playing well" etc isn't hockey?

Ok, anyone catch the Warriors' game the other day? Better?
