I've been saying for a while that I don't think I've ever seen a guy put the team on his back and will them on a run like this. Anyone who I mention it too usually agrees but Mentions Stevie Y

Don’t ever (frank)ing compare someone of great talent in Ovechkin to the best (frank)ing person to ever play hockey in Yzerman.

Yzerman. Is the man.

It was only 3 and should read:

Cups with Fedorov: 3
Cups without Fedorov: 0

Wut.

Fedorov had a higher playoff points per game than Yzerman.

It's not about points per game. it's about putting the team on your back and doing everything possible to win.

Look at Ovi in game 6 against the Lightning. He did everything except score, he was all over the ice, hitting, leading by example.

Thats what Stevie Y did the years they won the cup

One mistake in this article. In 94-95, there was no Colorado Avalance, they were still the Quebec Nordiques. The Red Wings lost in the cup finals that year. They were beaten by Colorado in the 95-96 season in the Conference championship.

Bogey team would imply they lost to Colorado multiple times, like the Capitals have to the Penguins.
