From what I understand this pissed a lot of people off in DC..

But far more disturbing is Ovechkin's behavior in Vancouver. First, he shoved a female fan's camera and reportedly she suffered bruises in the incident. Now comes the news that he broke the camera of a man asking for an interview. There is video of each incident. How this has gone largely un-discussed is nearly as annoying as Ovechkin's churlish behavior. Is he so distraught about Crosby kicking his butt repeatedly that he has to take out his frustration by smashing people's cameras? The woman referred to earlier was reportedly a fan who traveled from Russia to Vancouver to root on her hockey heroes, including Ovechkin.

Fuck Michael Wilbon, stick to something you know about, basketball.
I would have done the same thing to the reporter in the coffee shop, he's there to enjoy himself and every time he looks up the reporter had a camera on him. If the reporter wanted to interview him, he should have make an appointment to do so.

Good for Ovechkin!
Don't jump in front of him, or keep shoving your cameras in his face while he is out trying to enjoy himself with his friends.

First round bust. Will serve well as a role player and veteran in the farm system. Don't expect much more.

Rumor is Ponikarovsky to Pitt for Luca Caputti, presumably to play with Malkin. Jonesi, Malkin isn't going anywhere, Tanger or Gogo may very well go, but we'll see. Mckee will not be traded since we're only paying $800K of his salary

Rangers explode for four in the second!!!!!!!
I wonder if a three goal lead is enough to get past the third????

Did I say he was going anywhere? Merely relayed what was said on a the radio by a ESPN voice. If they trade for Ponikarovsky then all the rumors about Caputti being on mgmt black list are true. Supposedly over the olympic break the Pens were unable to sign Gonchar to a extension and could very well also be on the list, although, highly unlikely.

Looks like with Skoula added to the deal it's going to go through.
Caputti is a good player, Leafs got a steal. He did some stupid shit and was always in the dog house for being a idiot. He needs a fresh start and could be a awesome player in the right environment. Looks like the Pens gave up on him.

And I doubt he's pissed because of Crosby. I'm sure he's smart enough to know its a team game, not him vs Sid.

People that are famous because what they do for a living have a right to privacy. Running up and sticking a camera in their face, in most case just to get a reaction out of them is bullshit.

Doesn't sound like the Caps are going to do much at the deadline. While I like the "don't mortgage the future" stance and McPhee's unwillingness to take on stale contracts, I'm not sold that the team is solid enough to win the Cup. They are playing so well this year, it would be a shame to not make it into a serious Cup run by not adding a solid blueliner and more experienced goalie.

NHL Network is showing TradeCentre2010, a whole day devoted to the trade deadline for the NHL. 
Hope something happens so they have something to talk aboot.

because it's ovie he gets a pass, go figure 
Crosby gets stalked EVERYWHERE he goes, especially in Canadia and I've yet to see him assault anyone.

Kings looking real strong last night after the Olympic break
Word on the street is that Justin Williams will be back in the lineup in a week or two!!!!
Unbelievable considering he pretty much twisted his leg to pieces not that long ago.

Got the TSN radio feed up.
Upset about the Wolski trade. I wanted the pens to get him, but he is due for a big raise this off season.
Indifferent on the pony rental... he's ok. He's having immigration issues and won't play til the weekend.
Hoping the pens can land Torres but asking price is a 1st rounder, too steep.

chips and smokes, lets go
Huge story up here. Crosby's stick and gloves go missing after celebrating the team Canada gold medal. Hockey Canada is launching a full instigation.

Kings acquire Jeff Halpern from Tampa Bay.....for TBD.
Good quality veteran pick-up for the young Kings.
Much needed for the playoff run.
