OV DOWN AND HURT

[scpensfan]

Little bit of his own medicine. Frankly stunned it has taken this long.

OV DOWN AND HURT

Couldn't happen to a better guy. Gee Ovi what does it feel like to be on the receiving end of a low hit?

[Southern Fan]

That looked bad. But of course they scored on the power play.

[Southern Fan]

So is Ovechkin out for 15 minutes, day to day, a week or is his season done ?

[ejd43]

Was it kadri that hit him? Kadri is a joke. On a side note it's nice to see ovi get his.

[Skatingpen]

I am sure he will be back in the 2nd

[Southern Fan]

They showed Ovi walking back to the locker in the tunnel. I would guess he was selling that call. Intermission guys said it was a clean hip check. Betting he will miraculously return for the second.

[scpensfan]

Person who has delivered borderline hits for a decade possibly injured on borderline hit.

[Skatingpen]

I figured he would return, drama

[Southern Fan]

I the answer is 15 minutes

[pens_CT]

I figured he would return, drama

Need to hit him a little lower next time. Must of.just taken the hit in the thigh.

[Southern Fan]

At least Kadri wasn't ejected and they got a 5 minute major for that acting job. Juventus calling Mr. Ovechkin.

Way t tie it up Matthews

Yet another ot game for the caps-leafs. Really impressed with the leafs' performance. They are definitely equal to the task. This series is a coin flip.

Stan Bowman is an angry guy !

Stan Bowman: "I'm completely disappointed. It's unacceptable to be where we are today. I'm frustrated, I'm angry. ... Complete failure."

Of course I've read Joel Quenneville is safe from change.

Toews has 1 goal in his last 14 playoff games and they've gone out in the first round two straight years? Yeah, I'd say he bears some responsibility.

I agree but the people who swear Toews > Crosby will always try to defend his lack of production by pointing to his "intangibles".

[Durbano]

Saw the third period and OT of Blues-Wild, the only part of that series I've watched. Very exciting. Bruce B. is consistent.

[Malkintent]

Consistent at what? Choking in the first or second round? Losing to lower seeded teams?

Having a powerhouse team and not meeting, let alone exceeding expectations.

> I see the up and coming Connor McDavid's (aka the Oilers) have dispatched last years finalists. Young and fast Oilers (Lucic notwithstanding) remind me a bit of the young and fast Maple Loafs. Didn't help the Sharks that Thorton was hobbled.

> Rangers don't look that good.

> The term schadenfreude was created for Mike Yeo.

Very good article on tonight's Craps/Loafs game 6 contest.

"With the excellent and troublesome Pittsburgh Penguins already waiting in the next round after a five-game drubbing of Columbus, the Caps would be wise to avoid the stress of Game 7.........Especially since their franchise record in such games is 2-7 on their home ice. "

Yeah, I was trying to be sarcastic. Always had mixed feelings about BB but he was an ass when it came to the Pens and Sid specifically, so I'm not sorry he's out.

Meanwhile the Sens just ended their series, also in OT. Ottawa with a lead is like the old Devils. Decent game when it was tied.

[Southern Fan]

Maple Leafs with 18 hits in the first period and several of them were high quality forechecks. Six periods of those would take a toll on the Caps.

Leafs playing like they think they can win.

Caps opportunties were more based on veteran experience than high energy.

[Pruezy11881]

Capitals b holes gotta be puckered now...

[Southern Fan]

Schmidt down. If he's out and Alzner stays out, the Taylor Chorney is next up. Little drop off
