Hat Trick - Ovechkin!!

Was that a whale of a game or what? I was thinking, going into the 3rd that a 2 goal lead was not enough.

That was a really exciting game....not too excited about the end though, of course. I hate the Caps, but I'll admit that Ovechkin is sick. I just hope that they don't win the cup - I don't even care if it's not the Pens, just ANYONE but Washington!!

Interesting - it's obvious my Wings aren't going anywhere this year. So I'm thinking it would be nice for a team to win that's never been there before.

So we're rooting for Washington
Yeah, they did make it to the finals back in '98, and lost 4 straight to us. But I'm looking for a team that has never won The Cup - and they fit that category.

NOOO Grace don't do it! Is there really no other team that has never won the cup? There HAS to be at least ONE other team!

Don't write off the Wings just yet - last year at this time the Pens were in the same position, no where near playoff contention, and look what happened. I do think it had a lot to do with the coaching change though, but you never know what can happen!

The Buffalo Sabres have never won the cup either. LOL Been to the dance twice and lost both times.


If its not going to be Buffalo I would be happy with the Caps. Not for their fans mind you but I really like a lot of players on the team. It helps that most of them played in Hershey before they got to play in the show. Plus my wife has a crush on Jose Theodore. LOL (The MEXICAN goalie.... No, not really, but its a little dig every male on her side of the family gets on her. LOL)

And yes, Ovechkin is out of thid world. That kid earns every penny he gets. Plays his heart out every game.

Ahh there ya go....MUCH better! Of course I must cheer the Pens first but second will be Buffalo. I didn't know that they have never won a cup - they are looking pretty good this year too.

I understand why you like a lot of their players....it's their fans that I can't stand. Every time they lose, no matter who they play, it's because the refs are out to get them. And of course the fierce rivelry between the Pens and Caps makes me not like them either

The Sabres were rolling pretty good. Not so much now. The defence is still decent, but the offense has been VERY inconsistent. It's time to shake things up a bit, but Darcy won't do it.



Yes... Caps "fans" are some of the worst, in my experience, in the NHL. VERY few of them knew anything about the Caps until Ovechkin came on the scene. Plus, their general hockey sense, again from what I have expereinced in going to some games, is low. Just because one of your players falls down, its not a penalty. Also, they clearly have no idea what interference is these days.... Then there was the comment about the Habs fan base. LOL I've been to NHL games vs. the Habs in Buffalo, DC, Philly, Pittsburgh and Florida. Each time, at least 1/3 of the attendance was Habs fans.


All that said... BOTH sides got jobbed by the officials in that last game. It was just awful. The worst was a Caps player getting called for slashing by the deep ref. He got called because a Pens player stick broke, on its own. The ref had to have seen the result and not the action. VERY bad call.

LOL I remember one of the games we went to in Washington to see them play the Habs. After the game we were all filing out and this moron was talking to his friend and says "Wow Montreal doesn't have much of a fan base like I thought they would" uhhhhhh... HALF of the attendance were habs fans in Washington lol ... moron you obviously don't know your arse from a hole int he ground LOL

Ben and Jerry's ice cream have contacted Alex Ovechkin and offered him a contract to be the spokesman for the Alex O's Shaved Ice/Sno-Cone franchises to be opened up at every NHL arena beginning in the '10-'11 season.

They have also contacted Marian Hossa about a new ice cream - it comes without a cup

Richard, I have no doubt that you will come up with some kind of idea for that.....

They say it's not over until the fat lady sings . . . . or the octopus hits the ice.

Out there in Phoenix, the octopus hit with 3:14 left in the game - after the Wings scored their 6th goal.
