ECQF/MDSF: (M1) Washington Capitals vs (WC1) Carolina Hurricanes | WSH leads 2-1

If we can not break his body, we will break his spirit with a crushing psychological blow that, though leaving his tangible being intact, will scar him for decades to come.

Dude, its the Capitals.. NOTHING could be more psychologically damaging than what both the players and fans have already been through

What I love about hockey playoffs is that all the blah blah blah about whether the Caps need to "wake up" or whether the Canes have the Caps' number will be resolved on the ice, tonight and in the following games. We'll have more data tomorrow to evaluate which of the dueling narratives is more accurate. From what I can see, the Canes are a speedy hard-working team with a good system and the discipline to implement it. The Caps have more proven playoff performers, particularly goal scorers, who have shown in the past that they can adapt and rise to a challenge. It's a good matchup and I look forward to watching tonight's game (as long as it's not another beatdown like Monday ;-))

Not if we send this guy after him.

Ovechkin wrestles bears for breakfast. He fears no man.

can'T wait for Ferland to destroy Ovy like he did on Watson earlier this year

 

[HockeyDBspecialist]

Ovie will crush whoever you send after him

not Ferland bud, not Ferland...

Another 3 shift game?

He wasn't scared of Reaves, or any of the other tough guys in the past who have tried to come after him so I doubt he'll be worried about Ferland

Besides, last I heard Ferland was "a ways off" from being healthy enough to play.

 

[Svechhammer]

Still waiting for that 'other gear' from Tampa and Pitt that we heard so often that they had.

On a serious note, what the hell did Ferland do on that hit? Only saw one angle and nothing looked too crazy.

From who? Pittsburgh is shot and their shit defense actually got worse due to injury. Tampa looked exactly like they did the back half of the Caps series last year.

Another gear? Ask Jackets about that 2-0 series lead going into OT of g3.

Why?

You have a problem with Ove winning a fair fight but have no problem wishing a Cane makes a run and injures Ove?

You alone are giving Canes fans a bad rap on here. id like to see fellow Canes fans telling you to be quiet and sit in the corner.

Tbh it wasn't. Refs threw the wrong guy out of that game.

Doesn't matter, Ferland ain't doing shit to Ovie. Many bigger and badder guys have tried

He's been playing through injury for a couple months now. Wasn't that hit that did it.

No, last game he left after he tried pounding Wilson into the near boards.

He's been playing injured for half the year. He's aggravated it several times already. It's sad, dude plays his heart out, he's finally in line for a payday after making relative peanuts, and at the final moment ever player and GM's worst fear is reified.

Ah my bad lol.

Not sure, shoulder maybe?

 

[HockeyDBspecialist]

a fair figh

oh clearly it was a fair fight, 195 lbs 19 years old getting destroyed by a 230 pound old veteran

 

[hb13xchamps]

I brought it up in the Caps board thread but why is no one talking about the Fleury cross check right into Oshie’s face? That cross check was on the same level as Kadri’s and I’m surprised we haven’t heard anything about it with the league being so anti head shot/head injury. The puck was no where near the play at the time and it was a horrible penalty. Just thought it was interesting how it seemingly got swept under the rug

I think all 166 of your posts are directed towards this fight. Do you at least have a Word document set up that you can copy and paste the same 3-5 talking points into your new posts? Might save you some time and effort

Love your profile pic, soon enough it will be Svech with it

That was a bad hit. IIRC no penalty either. Not positive though

I think there was a penalty called on the ice. Just was interesting that there wasn’t as much outrage over it as the Hamilton elbow. I thought it at least would have gotten looked at by DoPs but then again they can’t follow their own guidelines correctly. Kadri got his punishment for being a repeat, repeat offender

 

[Neil Racki]

I just hope both teams play clean hockey and if some stuff starts organically, then fine. But I dont want to see Canes chirping at Ove right away, carrying game 3 into game 4. Or any Caps starting the chirping or targeting of a specific player.

 

[Ikazuchi]

Two points:

1) Ovechkin is not the greatest goalscorer unless you're just referring to the Caps.

2) Svech apparently told Brindy that Ovechkin initiated the fight. Keep in mind whose gloves came flying off first.

Svechnikov said "davai" first. So, no, OV didb't start the fight. And he is even asked "really?" And svech nodded.
