It’s not a “waste of his skill set”. He either doesn’t possess such a skill set or doesn’t care to exhibit it. Hunter needs to stop catering to Ovchkin’s wishes and get him off the point so that a defenseman who can and will actually play real defense can do the job. Fans need to stop being apologists for Ovechkin because if he doesn’t change his way of doing things, there’ll be nine more years of this frustration, and Ovechkin will be the only one profiting from it in any way.

I don’t know what happened to the Caps last night. As I’ve been saying for a while, Ovi does NOT (repeat: Does NOT) belong on the point on the PP. It’s a waste of his skill set. His skill set is of an offensive player, NOT a defenseman. And being the point man is essentially playing as a defenseman. While he can sometimes play okay defense, that’s not how he should be utilized. It makes less sense to put him on the point to play fetch for missed passes when he’s already double shifting at even strength.

Suck it bandwagoners. Can’t wait, 5 years from now when “the Russian machine” is still the mediocre player he is now, the Capitals are going nowhere like they are now, and the building is half empty every night like it was for 30 years, we will all sit back and laugh.

Oh, so the Caps lost the hockey game because Buffalo has superior FANS. Whew, I’m glad you explained that, that makes so much sense.

Yes, Buffalo is so bad. Can you believe that hardly anyone gets up there after an offside whistle and loudly asks, “What was that for?” to everyone around them? Just how unwilling to educate themselves these people are? Like, whatever… Buffalo should just die.

Ovi at the blueline and shorthanded goal – facepalm.
Seriously, if it were 3-2 instead of 4-1…
