Is anyone watching the Caps and Pens

[BuckeyeWingsfan80 209]

This game might finally start getting a little chippier, and I say that completely tongue-in-cheek.

1. the refs completely whiffed on a boarding/tripping call on Mike Adams on Ovechkin. That scrum ended up with a misconduct to Knuble after a fight. Even NBC said it was a dirty hit which is amazing.

2. Ovechkin is the single greatest offensive force in the NHL. However, when he's trying to go 1 on 4 he's not as good as when he involves his teammates.

3. Every single thing Crosby does is going to be completely over-analyzed by Pierre. They spent 5 minutes earlier creaming themselves over a face-off win that didn't result in anything.

4. Ovie just decked Letang. It was hilarious.

ovechkin decked letang? looked like he was humping him

He punched him first

[Guest Lidstromboli]

i think the humping negates the punch

[BuckeyeWingsfan80 209]

Oh yeah, another observation - The Craps aren't going anywhere with Jose as their goalie. Do they have another option?

[Guest Lidstromboli]

that turnover was delicious

I'll give you an observation, the Caps suck The Penguins arent even the best team in the East and there making the Caps look like a junior C team.

Yeah they are...they have mostly controlled every aspect of the game. It evened out a bit after Ovie's goal, but that's about it.

If pierre is allowed to broadcast the vancouver games my head will expload.

[Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204]

That was a nice goal by Fehr.

There goes the Gold Medal for the Canadians.

[BuckeyeWingsfan80 209]

another penalty to Washingon

And Bruce Boudreau got a "you've gotta be ******* kidding me" on national TV

[Datsyerberger 279]

And now the Pens get another PP off of a Semin high stick on Gonchar that's the result of Gonchar's own stick work..

Edit: And now a 5 on 3 because Crosby gets knocked down.

Notice we haven't see a replay of the latest "penalty"

[Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204]

Questionable call on the Caps and NBC doesnt show the replay...

[gcom007 1,465]

Imagine if our defensemen covered players half as well as Crosby just got "covered..."

I dream...

[BUHdactyl 23]

These calls are ridiculous. Weak calls shouldn't be made when it leads to a 5 on 3... let them play the game for f***s sake.

that made me lol

[Rufio 29]

Crysby injured

He's not injured he just pussed out for that shift. When he didn't get a call he pretended to be hurt for a bit to justify coming straight off and then played the next shift.

Yeah, I hope they make the playoffs.

The NHL would be better without Crosby. I would feel joy if he got injured for a long long period of time. He is what's wrong with the NHL. Get Crosby and his stroking partner Bettman out of here.

Yeah, I watched the replay and this is what I saw. Nothing even happened on the replay. Overanalyzed again by NBC. "YOU SAW IT HAPPEN, AND...YEAH".

[BuckeyeWingsfan80 209]

In his own defensive zone too....

Remember when Stevie tore his oblique when he was playing D along the boards? As I remember he grabbed it, and went back to playing D....

It's not necessarily Crosby that's wrong with the NHL (I'll agree some of the stuff he does we could do without...the over-exaggerated dives and the punches to the back of the ass namely), but what's wrong is the absurd amount of hype the NHL, Versus, and NBC give. You can't watch ANY hockey game on NBC/Versus without hearing what Sidney Crosby is up to, what magazines he has in his bathroom, what he ate for breakfast, what his farts smell like, etc.

Remember during the European openers? I watched one of the Panthers/Hawks games and during the first two intermissions, they showed different Sidney Crosby interviews.

Let's also not forget the NBC Crosbycams. And all the times they show him on the bench. And all the times they show him Crosby. There's a reason NHL on NBC has a drinking game.

Overanalysis. On Versus, it can be worse...especially if Ed Olczyk is on. Sometimes it's hard to tell if I'm watching Versus or a second FSN Pittsburgh.
