Pretty safe to say Toews is giving a diving exhibition this series, doesn't belong in the game.

Franzen as well?

I thought it was funny. But you could tell they did have respect. 3 on 1 on the goalie isnt right and tgats tgecreason why youre not allowed to fight at that age.

When I played we did a lot of lockerroom boxing helmet and gloves on....pretty harmless.

I don't know about it being funny, there looked to be some pretty vicious stuff going on, looked like some of them could have been hurt bad. 

The most disgusting thing I saw in that video though was the person in the stands clapping, what the hell is that?

Edit: forgot to mention, I noticed at the beginning of the video, #4 looked pretty pissed that he didn't get the pass near the front of the net.

Why notFilppula instead of Kane?

Sportsmanship and gentlemanly conduct combined with high standard of playing ability......I think Mr. Filppula was missing the last piece.

I think the voters are simply looking at stats here and see that Kane has low penalty minutes.....but that doesn't always tell the whole story.  I was shocked when I saw his name as well.

Pavs will have a 7 year, 7 mil per contract extension by July 1. No doubt in my mind.

That's what I'm worried about.....long term, high cap hit to which he likely won't be worth.  A contract like that wouldn't look too good in a few years (going by the law of averages, decline will begin to set in).  Such a contract would bring him to the age of 43 I think.

It worked well with Lidstrom where he started signing shorter term deals once he got to a certain age, but not sure what happens here.

Not sure why Babcock would be so confident though, he's not the one negotiating contracts.

 

I posted this in the series thread, but it bears repeating here since this seems to be the thread memorializing Ovechkin's fall from grace...

 

 

If anybody is curious about Ovechkin's take on the Capitals collapse... it wasn't his fault!

Over the course of this series and this season, I've lost a lot of respect for Ovechkin.  Someone needs to dramatically rip the C off of his sweater.

 

 

I heard these comments this morning on the radio and I think I was speechless at first.  Unbelievable comments, especially coming from the team captain.
