I guess he is the best, but I just HATE Ovechkin.
Capitals win and go up 2-0 in the series. Pittsburgh is going to have to dig themselves out of a hole, but both games have been very close and they will have home ice advantage in games 3 and 4.
As a Rangers fan (no I do not have Swine flu and I am back from the flu I did have), I watched a special on Ovechkin one night with my dream girl (Rachel Nichols; god she is yummy) and as a result of the special, I came off liking/respecting him and how he approaches the game.
I think we need more of him, his explosiveness and love of the game in the NHL to get it back in the media.

:up
I wish someone would just hit him so hard he will be out for the rest of the playoffs.
Kind of like what Ulf Samuelson did to Cam Neely.

So who's staying up for Wings-Ducks tonight? I'm usually sleeping by 10:30, but I'm going to try to make it up. Of course, if the Wings fall behind by a few goals, I'll record it and skim through the rest in the morning.
I just have a bad feeling about this series. It's eerily similar to the Wings-Ducks WCF series a couple of years ago.
I'm staying up for the game. I have been working on proposals and have been working out of the house most of the time. With the except of 2-3 required meetings each week, I can work and sleep when I wish - just as long as the work gets done. To be honest, with my family back in TX I tend to do most of my work in the evenings and I sometimes work through the night.So who's staying up for Wings-Ducks tonight?

That Samuellson hit on Neely- there's a sore spot for B's fans.
I'm a Sabres fan, and I thought that was a dirty cheapshot.
I felt so bad for Neely; I always respected him, even though he OWNED Buffalo.

I'll be at the game actually, so I will not be commenting here till the morning. I expect Honda Center to rock more than it did the last time I was there for the Sharks/Ducks game and we had two minor earthquakes!!!!:
