What a goal by OV today. I'm not a big fan of his but man that was beastly.

And honestly I could care less who wins this series, which actually makes it pretty fun to watch. I'm not emotionally invested so for a change I can sit back and watch the hockey. To each their own but I don't totally understand who stop watching once the Wings are eliminated. I highly recommend watching a series you're not invested in if the hockey is good.

I would love to keep following it, but it's a time thing, I barely have time for the Wings any more much less other teams.

That's understandable. And I can definitely relate.

The main reason I could catch this one is because it was on a weekend. I was more referring to people who just lose interest in the playoffs once the Wings are out.

Oh totally, there was a time when I had center ice I would watch hockey every night, irregardless of the team.

That was an amazing goal. I was kind of lightly dozing during the game since I work graveyards on the weekends, so I didn't see it as it happened, but the increased volume and excitement in the announcers' voices go my attention and I caught the re-plays.

I felt that way about the Capitals/Islanders series. It was a great seven games worth of hockey. It's educational to watch these other series. When you only watch one team, you have a tendency to get tunnel vision about the team's successes and failures. There are a lot of ways to be good, and bad, at professional hockey.

Edit: Jesus Christ. Ovechkin is unreal. Too bad he was all washed up a couple years ago eh? Lol.

I don't understand how you don't like ovi.

He's physical, scores like a mad man, and is actually playing defense this year...

Before this year, I could see why someone would dislike him.

But he's been so much better and is actually leading his team.

So what don't you like about him, if ya don't mind indulging me?

It's not even so much that I dislike Ovi, it's more that I used to like him a lot when he came in the league, but grew a little tired of his reckless hits and half assed effort anytime the puck wasn't on his stick.

When he cares and gives a full effort, he's a gamebreaker for all the reasons you mentioned. It seems like this season he cares again.

I think were on the same page there.

Yeah, his controller disconnected stuff just annoyed me.

Especially after how excited I was for him when he came in the league.

I'm really happy he's giving a s*** again.

All bow down to king Henrik when this guy is on his game he is impossible to beat

[chicagooverrated 65]

Lol@ yandle great trade rangers!

[Hockeytown0001 7,652]

Caps win 1-0.

[Rivalred 630]

Rangers need to dial it up a few notches

[Euro_Twins 4,475]

I honestly don't care who wins this series as long as the winner of this series wins the cup

[Hockeytown0001 7,652]

Holtby could be getting some consideration for Conn Smythe.

Not after Patrick Kane gets a hold of him.

[Hockeytown0001 7,652]

Holtby has better positioning skills then Michael Leighton.

[nyqvististhefuture 1,002]

Man yandle Has brought the rangers absolutely nothing ... Thank god we never went after him

Rangers gave up a ton for him

[Hockeytown0001 7,652]

Rick Nash sure picked the wrong time of the year to completely disappear.

[FedorovMan91 1]

So smelling the battle Ovi vs Stamkos? Here is the hope Ovi wins the cup this year although it is very unlikely since ducks and hawks look more stacked

Ovi is by far the better player.

[Hockeytown0001 7,652]

I might just be on the Caps bandwagon.

[jimmyemeryhunter 2,747]

I might just be on the Caps bandwagon.

I've been on it since they beat the rags 1-0.

Jump aboard with me bud.

[Euro_Twins 4,475]

As long as Calgary/Washington/nyr win the cup I'll be a happy hudler
