Is there a narrative that the Capitals are sacrificing everything to get Ovechkin the Goal Record? Is there a double standard with regards to Crosby?

I honestly don't care if you guys continue to waste your time responding to me. I owe you nothing nor need to respond to your comments.

That sounds like a really fulfilling way to engage with others on a message board

And the Avalanche cant beat anyone while having two players tied for 1-2 in scoring and a third in the top 10. Which is more likely to sustain for the entire season?

With that goaltending?

I wish we had a terrible contract to trade for Kuemper right about now.

lol nothing about this is upsetting, it's message boards on my weekend, this is about as voluntary as it gets. You trying to take this stance only underscores how little you're willing to engage in the real topic, because I asked you a handful of questions, got no answers, and now you're... doing this.

Don't ask if you don't want to know, and definitely don't get sensitive when people tell you. I'll be here if you want to back up your bullshit.

Dude got so cooked he’s trying to make fun of people responding to them, while simultaneously responding themselves.

That old quote about it being better to keep quiet and let people assume you’re an idiot instead of opening your mouth and removing all doubt, comes to mind.

i'm not saying the caps are guaranteed to win the stanley cup.

i'm saying the dumb narrative that caps only care about Ovi's goal chase, and are sacrificing fielding a competitive team to get it done, is a stupid made up lie that is baldly, plainly, obviously false to anyone willing to watch them play hockey. They happen to have the best win percentage in the Eastern Conference at the moment, and have beaten a bunch of good teams (...and the habs...) doing it.

sorry we dont suck?

The Caps over the last 3 or so years has been one of the best managed teams in the league - they have improved their team while not only maintaining their #1 picks they've also added more picks to their pile and drafted very well.

It's just silly bitterness at this point.

As for the Pens, maybe they did some overly agressive moves but c'mon you have two of the greatest players of all time in your lineup and they're still really good. If anything I do respect the Pens commitment to winning, even if it have backfired as of late.

I genuinely dislike this narrative, for both teams.

The Caps have a Cup.

I think Ovenchicken breaking the record is of similar value to the franchise.

Caps are doing it. But, they are also doing well as a team (7-2-0, with a streak of 7, 3rd in conference with 4 and 2 less games than 1st and 2nd!). Pittsburgh is not (4-7-1, second last with more games than Caps!).
