His play in the Olympics will be interesting. If he goes all out and plays great, than it shows he just doesn't care about the NHL and his team. If he looks lousy, he's just lost it.

Don't get me wrong, he's still a good player. But no where near the level he used to be at.

Per ASF: Gus shant return

Eh the hockey gods accepted their sacrifice for gagne's resurgence

As the season was about to begin, some asked who we thought could be suprise amnesty victims. I said Ovi but recanted that Wash would have to trade him.....that contract looks awful for what this guy has done the last few years

Right.. lousy compared to other superstar players, but as has been stated, it is just a bizarre fall for a guy only in his mid 20s.

The hockey gods need to lay off us then because we need that kid!

Nah, Jonesie's playoff monologue on Alexander Radulov was even more scathing, and actually more on point. At least Ovechkin had five points in the last two games heading into tonight. He's been bad tonight.

Jones chased Rads back to Russia in the space for five minutes.

Ridiculous isn't it? Never really seen anything like it....

In no ways do I buy this, but I've heard speculation- purely speculation- with his name linked to roids.

Just something to think about

That's not the only thing thats been speculated...


In other news, do you have any idea what the street value of this mountain is!?!

Really hard to understand what has happened to him.

Ooooooo Phyrric.... Impressive.

lolbury. that was an instant classic

He is a hand job but otherwise spot on there
- JoeRussomanno

More like the result of a hand job. And not a rash.

Here's my take on Ovechkin: When he was at his best, he played a style that no human being could sustain. He played such an over-the-top hitting style, skating almost out of control and shooting from a wider array of angles. When he started to be more of a perimeter, stationary player he lost a lot of what had made him such as a special player. But if he kept playing the other way, he'd have gone the way of Eric Lindros in terms of his body betraying him prematurely.

It's pretty clear he has an uncontrollable gas problem that has destroyed his life:

Then, looking down at the game's score sheet, he let three loud farts rip in less than a minute. Then, his next words were the only quote I got from Alexander the Great. So since the Caps PR Nazi deemed he was no longer allowed to speak, this is the only quote I can print.

After the third, and loudest, one, the others in the room just looked at him and he responded, "(frank)! What the hell is wrong with my ass?"

same old story - you hear it so often these days. guy gets married, stops using 'roids, and his play just goes to poop.
