It's just the combination of stares from Rust and Tocchet that my stream decided to freeze on made me chuckle. I looked up at the tv to see that glaring at me for the better part of a minute.

That's just crazy. He has overwhelmingly exceeded every expectation I had of him (I did not know his name at the start of the season and thought for sure he would finish the season with WBS) Go JmotherfuckingG!

Revol posted:How true is this? Heard a Pittsburgh journalist on the radio talk about how many in DC think this is their last, best chance for a Cup, because they have a lot of free agents coming up. i might get poo poo for this but imo ovechkin is a one dimensional boring as poo poo player who is incredibly easy for good teams to play against because literally all he does is stand in one position for one timers. he's overrated as poo poo and has never delivered in the postseason and there are numerous other players i'd rather have on my top line

Geno, Phil, Sid and Jake are 1-2-3-4 in playoff scoring.

Ovechkin certainly seems like a one-dimensional player today, but saying that he was always this way is extremely disingenuous. Dude could straight up take over games in his prime.

Younger Ovechkin was very dynamic and had a physical impact on the game. Current Ovechkin is a PP specialist.

Ravenfood posted:I was at work and watched the first period and a good chunk of the second. Then I had to actually do a ton of work but managed to catch the last two minutes of the game. I was, and am, very pleasantly confused. What the hell happened? The Pittsburgh Penguins secretly replaced MAF with 2010 era Jaroslav Halak. Let's see if anyone notices! I am aware of the irony of the joke
