Pens fan here, anyone else feel really bad for ovechkin? I mean year in and year out he does all these things and then the playoffs come and he's eliminated by round 2. The look on his fact after hornqvists goal was the look of someone contemplating their life choices

>>67363626
Do you really, honestly think they can beat the Billsburgh Bills three times in one week?
>>67363831
They absolutely can. The question is will they? It's obvious on paper they're the better team but that doesn't mean much when you don't play like it.
>>67363849
They won't. It's become clear that the caps just can't score in critical situations, ovi is anti-clutch. I'm a neutral fan who has been watching this series and they just can't get it done
>>67363849
On paper they're the better team? They have had ZERO production from kuzy in the ploffs, and the first line hasnt done anything spectacular. On the other hand, goals are being scored from every single player on the pens roster. On paper, the pens are the better team, and they are playing like it.
>It took an oshie hat trick for the caps not to get swept
Wew lads
>>67363812
I don't feel bad, that's what that faggot gets for waiting to take shots all season long every season and not contributing to the team in any other way besides hits to make himself feel better that he's a choker.

>dat American heart saving his lazy Russian and soft swede teammates from ultimate embarrassment
>>67363914
Youre post is so incredibly biased. I would rather see neutral fans weigh in than someone who is completely one sided. Your post also proves my point. Kuz has done shit all series but he's still better than anyone on the pens roster besides malkin and Crosby. Same with ovechkin. He's borderline invisible but he's still arguably the best or 2nd best player of this series.

Here's your (you)
>>67363929
Hockey casual here, but I plan on getting way more into it.
I thought Ovechkin is supposed to be like one of the best players in the NHL? All I see him do is chill in the blue circle and try to snipe it. And if he's not in the blue circle he'll just skate back over to it with the puck. The fact that a rookie backup goaltender is getting in his head is laughable. What is it about the playoffs that just exposes ovechkin and the caps?
Why did Caps choke again? I thought this year would be different. It was supposed to be the deepest and strongest Caps ever. But come the playoffs, all the secondary scoring went out of the window. 2nd line MIA. Orlov, Orpik, Weber, Schmidt and Chorney all exposed. Mr.Game 7 and Richards playing like minor league shitters. Chimera being Chimera. This franchise is never going to win the fucking cup at this rate. FML and fuck me for choosing them to root for 11 years ago as a kid just getting into NHL hockey.
>>67363953
It's biased because it's true? I agree Kuzy is better than everyone on the pens roster besides Crosby and Malkin. Ovi just isn't that good. He is a natural goal scorer, but that doesn't help if he's not getting his opportunities or trying to make some himself. That's the problem. Their top players aren't producing postseason, but all of the Pongs players are.
>>67364048
they don't have good enough centers.
>>67363914
>>67363953
Neutral here. Caps are definitely better on paper. Not like it matters of you can't handle the pressure. Same with the Ducks. The caps were playing like absolute garbage after they went 1-2 yesterday. Both missing key players, with Letang being the most important man for the pens this series.
Everything considered this series is pretty evenly matched.
>>67364048
You made a huge mistake pegga
>>67364061
Last night's game was the best played one so far
>>67364075
It was p good. Nevertheless the caps almost let themselves get scored on a dozen times in the second while the pens were literally flopping around for the last couple minutes of the third.
The series really comes down Murray vs. Holtby.
>>67364054
It isn't true though. The caps are a better team on paper. I don't know why that would be considered an insult to you. That literally means nothing come playoff time if you can't get it done. There's been so many times where the sharks on paper were easily the best team yet they chocked and sucked. I remember the year they won the presidents trophy and got skull fucked by Anaheim in the first round.

Say what you want but ovi has been one of the most impressive on both sides so far this series
>>67366725
the only thing impressive is the number of times he's failed to even hit the net
>>67366725
>ovi has been one of the most impressive
kek, no. Oshi has been pretty impressive so far, in fact he's gotten the best looking shots this series. Ovi continues to be a ghost. So does Crosby
>>67366743
More to hockey than shots
>>67366764
someone should probably tell ovi that
>>67366747
I agree oshie has been the best on Washington side but out of the superstars Ovi has been the most noticeable should I say with malkin do well too, Crosby on the other doesn't exist
>>67366778
I guess making a physical presence doesn't count
>>67366725
Say what you want but we're going to call you a retard for it
>>67366764
That's the issue. Being a mongoloid human cannon works during the regular season when the defense isn't being fanatical. It does not work in the playoffs and that's all Ostenchkin is.
If you sexually identify as Ovie, are you an Ovechkin then?
>>67366806
People hate the truth I understand
>>67366802
Congratulations, you have a $10 million physical presence
>>67366802
When it's all your leading 'offensive weapon' is doing? Fuck no.
>>67366836
At least he has a presence
>>67366886
This. Its kind of discouraging to see crosby doing jack shit. Gonna be kind of mad seeing him get carried to a cup desu
>>67366482
Ovi's already thinking about the world champs games, bruh.
Russkies don't have the mental backbone to keep fighting.
If I was Cindy, I wouldn't go on ice while Ovi's on in G5. That's a surefire way to get injured by flying lumber.
>>67366900
Me too, he'll pick it up next series tho
>>67366802
You can get a "physical presence" from some 500k a year, Ovi is expected to do a lot more
>>67367001
The difference between him and other stars is that he does do more. If he can't score or do it offensively he pisses you off by crushing you and leveling guys you have to be aware at all times most other guys can't do that or they just dont
If the pens win this series, I think the debate between Crosby and Ovechkin is over. And it'll be 100% over if the pens win the cup.
What do you think ovi said to murray after he cucked him out of another goal?
>>67367106
Yeah, nah. Being a good who breaks hands is worthless when your coach and gm expect you to play a certain role and no one is backfilling it while you preoccupy yourself with your own plans. He's retarded.

recognition for being a great player for a long period of time?
Crysby and Obitchkin are overrated divas.
Malkin is the quiet awkward Russian that looks sort of like a cave man but can play hockey well.
Which I guess is exactly why he isn't as hyped, the media loves Divas. They make better articles and clickbait.
