GDT: Game II Pens vs Caps Oct 13th 1930hrs: Friday the 13th

[Dessloch]

If it was that easy, Ovechkin wouldn't be closing in on 300 powerplay goals over his career.

Thats exactly the point, nobody has tried man marking him on a regular basis until last season, and look what happened? I think there must be some gentlemans agreement to not ruin the game by man marking cuz its ugly.

Look what happened to Jaromir Jagr when he got man marked by Jay Pandolfo of the Devils, Jagr could not do shit. Was it fun to watch? No. Was it effective, yes.

Just stand by Ovechkins side and never leave on the PP, he cant score. Nobody has ever tried it. Just have one man stand and guard him, and not feck around about it.

So um, might need to redo my "where will they finish" poll selection

At this point, they're gonna be relegated to OHL

FSG should put a HF balcony in the rafters of PPG where we can watch the games and make observations throughout the game like the old guys on the Muppet Show.

“Hey, this team’s not half bad.”
“You’re right, they’re all bad!”

"I know what's wrong with this game."

"What's wrong with it?"

"It's the arena. The seats face the ice!"

HURHURHURHUR

Hfboards posters thinking they have the formula to stopping Ovie on the pp is adorable.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

The forced persona of guys like Bucci and Weekes trying to be as entertaining and as big a personality of like Shaq and Barkley is just so f***ing cringe.

I have an idea. Give him food poisoning and he misses the game. Problem solved!

Oh yeah, how about all the coaches that let him stand rip it freely to a new NHL record? They did any better?

How about last season when teams started keying on him on the PP and his goals dried up immediately.

Its not rocket science, anytime he gets keyed on he cant pretty much unless its ZAR leaving him open even though he is supposed to guard him.

The Pens shut down Ovi better than most teams in the league in recent years, precisely because they just pay extra attention to that passing lane.

I was going to say slash him hard on the wrist. But that works too.

To be fair, just ignoring him sure hasn’t worked too well, historically speaking.

That's it, thinking outside of the box.

 

[Rakell67]

Jarry up to .930 sv% on the season (40/43)

All these years of posting and I never knew you were Adam Graves.

WBS more fun to watch tonight so far.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

You know who OV's buddies are. He's wise to the poisoning game.

 

[SomeDude]

EK already has regrets.

Whats the worst thing that can happen? That the Caps PP still score and its not Ovi? Caps PP has been great because of Ovi. Remove him and let them have to figure something else out. Or just let him reign free.

Man marking is used in many other sports to take out key players, but never in in hockey, not even on the PP on the most stationary f***bag in sports history!

over under how long it will take them to brainwash him in repeating sully's empty phrases like others do

Love that EK actually talks freely in interviews. Not the same old hockey jargon bullshit

If ESPN+ had a feature where you could pay $100 to hit a button on your remote and Al Iafrate would take a clapper at John Buccigross’ groin….I would be satisfactorily broke.
