31 career goals is nothing to scoff at. I've seen Ovechkin play in person. He's the Capital's Captain for a damn good reason. The USA, god love them, played an awesome game, but Russia gave them hell. They barely won, and to me, winning in a shoot out isn't really winning..its LUCK.
Oh wow. You saw him in person. That changes everything about Chokevechkin's inability to show up big in any game of relevance. Game 7 of 2008 Conference Semi Finals against hated Pitssburg, coming of a high of beating Crosby in a straight up, how does Choke respond? By choking and getting blown out. Olympics, Vancouver 2010, an emotionally vulnerable team Canada matches up a Russia...Chokes response? Fucking nothing while his team gets ventilated. Then his steroid guy gets busted in the summer and he enters his 'declining phase' In the meantime Datsyuk is doing everything, winning faceoffs, scoring goals, actually fucking defending. Poor Datsyuk, he is too old for this team of uselss chokes.

Evgeni Malkin is damn good hockey player.
Cam Ward won one too. Sometimes people fluke out at the right time.
you do not "fluke out" with 30+ play off goals guy. please man.. pick a new topic. this is embarassing.
Yes you do. Malkin playing without Crosby: Vancouver 2010, Sochi 2014. INVISIBLE.
That's not cool. I see what you're doing there and I really don't want to get in between you and JRRaynor but Malkin won single-handedly the world cup 2012 (leave the arguments of WC is not a real thing, no point to argue on that) He's also always a guy whose scoring numbers sky-rocket once Crosby is out of the roster in Pens. So maybe let's close this insulting good players and just watch damn hockey?

malkin is a really good hockey player.. period.. end of story. Malkin has played lots without crosby.
Just for the record, I'm a Caps fan and an Ovechkin fan, cuz I live in DC. Not because I'm raynor on a different account. Check out my IP addy .. and also, i'm a girl!
I just wanted to add ... OSHIE! and Quick! BOTH WERE Super HOT today!!

Caps fan here too! Btw read a short after-game interview with Oshie, he says he still had shaken hands and legs after the game, while he really didn't look any nervous on the ice! That's an Olympics moment for you right there!

Cool! Go Caps!
His smile at ever shot, was an Olympic moment!! HOT
P.S. I invite Raynor down to watch my Cap's kick his Leaf's ass this March at the Verizon Center.. my treat!
He did clearly not move the goal on purpose. A good call by the referee.
Just accept it.
A good call? Commentators here mentioned that Quick even tried to mention about the moved goal to the referees and they still did NOTHING. Then Russia scored.
They did follow the rules, but this wouldn't have happened if the referees would do their job.

So...any other nominations come to your minds? And it doesn't to have to be from your team, but it might be nice.
ovechkin and malkin continue their tradition of being invisible in important games. If Datsyuk's legs go, so does team Russia.
Ovechkin has a tradition of being invisible? lol.
31 career playoff goals in only 58 career playoff games. 2006 Olympics, Ovechkin breaks a scoreless tie to knock Canada out of the Olympics.
Ovechkin was dangerous as fuck all game long.. which is why Quick played him more aggressively than any other shooter. How many posts did he hit?
i wasn't sure if that was Mike Palmateer, Billy Smith, or Jonathan Quick in the net for the USA today.
Russia has a really good team with some great players. don't minimize what hte USA did today... they beat a damn good team.
Dude that was in the quarter finals, then they went on to lose in the semi's. I wouldnt really qualify that is a "huge game" a big goal maybe. But that hardly counts as a Huge game especially since he was invisible most of that game. Im not an ovechkin hater like some, but he really does tend to go the way of the Sedin's in huge games.
edit. Crosby does too, and its often because they are always against an extremely defensive lineup and get shutdown....that said Crosby has the enormous "golden goal" so its hard to argue that.

either team could be eliminated in that game.
so its a big game. the 2006 result for Canada was analyzed and re-analyzed.
Brodeur played great. But, Ovechkin did a great job and proved how talented a goal scorer he is.
but, that is only half the story. this guy also says Malkin sucks.
i'm waiting for your defense of how a 28 year old with 36 career playoff goals and 1 Conn Smythe trophy sucks. LOL
This forum is good for a laugh though... we have a guy on here insisting the 2009 Conn Smythe winner only got it because of Crosby.. and Crosby was not even on his line. LOL
back to Ovechkin TRY ACTUALLY WATHCING THE ACTUAL GAME.
any time the goalie leaves his crease its a risk. WATCH how often Quick came out to challenge Ovechkin on his shot. WATCH how often Quick came out that far against any other Russian Shooter.
Jonathan Quick is telling you THROUGH HIS ACTIONs and not his words that Ovechkin is a DANGEROUS SNIPER.
Great Goalie versus Great Sniper.
why not just enjoy the show rather than trying to say that Quick Sucks.. Ovechkin sucks .. and on and on... lol.

Every Olympic, the Russians get worse and worse. Partially thanks to 'stars' like Malkin and Ovechkin. Look at the way Datsyuk plays and the way those two do. Its a different level, and in large part its a generational shift. Once he retires there is no one on the horizon to take up his flag of total play. Just a bunch of half zone players busy chasing personal glory.
