Comments on: Will Alex Ovechkin Rally Down The Stretch? http://www.russianmachineneverbreaks.com/2011/01/31/will-ovechkin-rally-down-the-stretch/ A cheerfully demented Washington Capitals site with a healthy fixation on Alex Ovechkin and his Russian bros. CRASH THE NET!

Architect of four Capitals goals and agent of one, he easily could have had a hat trick. His hits on Mattias Ohlund set the tone for the night early: white-knuckle, balls-to-the-wall, pull-your-ass-outta-yer-heads, and have-some-bleeping-fun-out-there hockey. In other words, the Great 8 crashed the dang net and led the darn team. Who would have thought that Ovie would turn the slump around? Oh yeah. [...]

I’m with you, I don’t know why Coach BB uses Ovie on the point for PP, when he can be much more effective going to the net.

And…as for tonight’s game against the Habs…I’ve seen this act or some variation of it before. Caps go up 2-0 in the first period, blow the lead, then lose in the SO. Are we supposed to be satisfied with one point? Do the Caps look like they’re at least trending up for the playoff push? This team is more frustrating and mind-boggling as the season goes on.

I hope it’s more but seeing as how the PP unit is deader’n John Wayne and all the horses he ever rode, well, I don’t see it happening. Blow the PP the fuck up and place Ovi down low around the net instead of the point, then maybe I’ll reconsider.

It seems every time I’ve missed a game this year, Ovie has a great game. That beautiful, Ovechkin-esque goal against the Panthers, I was driving all day, and the hat trick against the Maple Leafs, I was at a basketball game.

Well luckily, I will be watching a basketball game tomorrow night with some buddies, so look for him to light it up.
