I've seen enough of the NHL

[Team Otter]

Mr. Ovechkin is the man; case in point was last night. Unbelievable.

[walleyes12]

I agree what an awesome game from both Ovechkin and Crosby! Two of the best in the NHL

[spearchucker]

Goalie pads are already regulated I believe.

i am not one for over the top celebrations, but if a guy scored number 50 and gets a little too excited, nothing is hurt in my mind, but when we start seeing this when a guy scores goal number 12 on the season in january i think we have a problem. hopefully when he ends up on his back the next shift people will think twice about it next time

[Quackaddict9]

who cares...move on! They can do whatever they want after a goal is scored as long its not allowed in the NHL!

Friend told me about this so i had to check it out, should have been a match penalty for intent to injure plus a possible suspension but the league lets this bum do whatever he wants

[USDA3]

it kinda looks like Gonchar tried to dodge the hit, far from any intent to injure. if he would've just taken the hit, I bet his knee would feel a lot better today.

[Quackaddict9]

nah, Ovechkin did not intend to injure Gonchar and tried to get around Ovechkin and he did not put a leg out when Gonchar tried to avoid the hit like some of the hits that has happened in the past.

Go Penguins!

Yeah, ask Cam Neely and Bobby Orr about those dirty knee to knee hits when they were in their prime

Ovechkin didnt even stick his leg out, I dont even know what you are seeing. Get over it man, he is the best player in the game and most people love him, and he will be around for a long, long time.

I watched the game seen the replays watched it on you tube and I dont see what everyone is getting all bent out of shape about. Ovechkin did not stick his leg out he was just more solid than Gonchar. Gonchar was trying to get out of the way. Everyone that says that they would like to see someone get leveled or hurt just to see an eye for an eye is just not very sportsman like. I grew up playing hockey all my life and it is just a bad thing when someone gets hurt in any sport. And far as celabrating a goal whether it is your first 10th or millionth it just doesn't matter they dont happen alot so they are worth celebrating. If you dont like the way they act dont watch the games and let us that enjoy the sport enjoy it with out all the bull.

who are these guys? They are not playing today, that was 10+ years ago for Neely and 20+ years ago for Orr!!!!!

Sorry guys but I don't see anything wrong with that hit, just bad luck that it was knee to knee. Tons of more hitting in my series right now with my beloved Black Hawks holding a 3-2 lead over the Canucks and looking to end it at home tomorrow night!

Just my $0.02

I agree, I don't even see a penalty there, he came in shoulder first. Had he not tried to jump out of the way he probably doesn't get injured.

[walleyes12]

It was a clean play, The kids a stud, hes going to put up huge numbers for years, hate him or love him. Hes going to be a great player for many years in the NHL.

[Quackaddict9]

Yea, it's just the Ovechkin haters...
