Here's my take on Ovechkin: When he was at his best, he played a style that no human being could sustain. He played such an over-the-top hitting style, skating almost out of control and shooting from a wider array of angles. When he started to be more of a perimeter, stationary player he lost a lot of what had made him such as a special player. But if he kept playing the other way, he'd have gone the way of Eric Lindros in terms of his body betraying him prematurely.

Reasonable Bill but man he still can play smarter that's for sure. He looks uninterested tonight.

Wait what?

So you think his change in play is a conscious decision by his or the organization's part?

Couts is just snakebitten. Good god.....

(frank)ing backup goalie

Gags with a hell of a game today.

I would like to see Couturier get a goal.

Interesting on the correlation between ovie and lindros

I figured you'd appreciate the tangents!

I do, but timing an art. These guys think they're Phil Rizzuto.

And thanks for understanding the name and not equating it with math.

Pretty good practice so far tonight

Just getting to watch the third here.. Gagne seems to be playing well.. certainly not worth a 4th lol..

Two questions:

What did Ribiero do?

...and what happened to Gus?

Also, when are the capitals expected to arrive tonight?

Gagne looks fantastic.He's a harder worker and doesn't give up. Underrated playmaker too

Gustafsson blocked a shot off the skate in the second period, and had to leave the game.

Ribeiro ran his mouth a little too much to VanMassenhoven.

Sure thing. I'd never equate you with math.

Gus blocked a shot....Ribiero got called for his long career as a dive artiste

Ahh thanks. Hopfully Gus is not another Flyers poster boy for skate shields.

I'm amazed more students don't get in real trouble there.

They have pooploads of cops
