Ovechkin is so good it's sickening. Seriously, I just threw up a little in my mouth.

I didn't go that far, but damn! Up 2-0, then down 3-2 with 15 seconds left, win in the shootout... too much for tonight.

Good game played by the goalie, indeed...

Oh well, 4-1-1 on the circus trip is not shabby at all. 1st in the Central...!

Isles-pens game sucked. When I go, we always lose.

We put a nice hurting on the Rags, tho. Look for more of the same tonite.

That Cooke suspension was pure BS. That was a clean hit. Keep your head up you stupid rookie.

Ovie's reckless play is going to catch up with him sooner or later.

I don`t think a Patrick Kane fan has the right to call anyone bush league. At least he keeps his dirty play on the ice and doesn`t go around beating up old cab drivers for 14 cents.

BTW - Crosby (who is once again the best player in the world as of Ovie`s shredded knee) had another 3 points tonight.

Haha I know you guys will say I'm biased but I didn't think it was an intentionally dirty hit. Was it bad? yes. Should he be fined and suspended? yes. Did he intend to injure? no.

I think he's been going too far with some of his hits and he basically got what he deserved: a potentially career ending knee injury. Now everyone who is not a Caps fan can celebrate.

In all seriousness, I hope its not that bad. It would be absolutely terrible for him to be out any extended period of time or worse, permenently.

But he`s still a douche.

The team goes as far as Toews takes them. And he is undoubtedly my favourite NHL player right now.

Well, if he's out for a couple of weeks, I have a chance to catch the guy ahead of me in the pool...cuz, Backstrom probably can't do it all without a finisher like Ovie.

If I remember correctly, isn't that the same exact dirty shit he pulled against Gonchar in which Gonchar got injured for a few weeks but Ovie didn't get injured? Looks like it backfired on him this time, he deserves it... dirty fuck.

I can't believe how bad the Rangers suck, hopefully they will pull it together, I'd hate to have paid 150.00 per ticket to be abused by Coyote fans & see them lose.

Congrats Penguin fans on a great third period, how come the Rangers rarely appear in the third? Could someone please explain to them it is a three period game?

A Canadian who doesn't wish death on Ovie and everyone who shares his DNA? Strange. Very strange.

i love the way he plays, his attitude, and his desire to be an all-round player. a player who can score the way he does and hits like he does is awesome. i think he just gets carried away with the hitting sometimes (like last night)
