Everyone talks how Cooke is a dirty player but no one as bad a Ovechkin. His hits are to hurt players with knees.
Yep, that game was a battle. A lot of hate and Babcock's little tête-à-tête with Pierre on the Wings bench during the first TV time out was gold. Good stuff!Wings/Blues game was fun last night Felt like the playoffs.
S'my main bitch too. I understand they're trying to change the culture and get the headshots/concussions out of the game.the lack of consistency in suspensions is annoying as hell... that is the ONLY thing that really bothers me.
Here in Detroit we didn't get the Versus feed. What was said?Yep, that game was a battle. A lot of hate and Babcock's little tête-à-tête with Pierre on the Wings bench during the first TV time out was gold. Good stuff!
He was typical Mike Babcock; brutally honest. I'm paraphrasing but he ripped his boys for not being ready to play at the start. Ended with "Now if you'll excuse me I need to go do my job and turn this game around."Here in Detroit we didn't get the Versus feed. What was said?
very original cut on OV...
AO deserved his suspension (albeit, maybe not 3 games),
Michalek should have gotten 1-2 games as well for his hit on Hendricks despite his lack of history on questionable hits. He came out and said he was seeking revenge for the hit OV put on him
the lack of consistency in suspensions is annoying as hell... that is the ONLY thing that really bothers me. How Michalek got nothing, OV 3 games and Borque only 5 games for his hit on Backstrom is puzzling
i assume you are alluding to the Gonchar and Gleason hits, where both were trying to avoid his check? if both just took the checks coming to them there would have been no knee to knee. both parties were to blame.
and to say OV is on any dirty level as Cooke is a joke. please take off your homer glasses and look at things objectively
That is puzzling to me as well. His hit looked way worse than OV did and yet he got nothing.very original cut on OV...

... but OV always plays his checks like he does and never changes his style which is to hurt a player. OV is worst because he does it day in and day out.
That is complete Bull Excrement. Ovi checks hard when he checks, but he doesn't specialize in dirty hits. What you are spouting is typical anti-Russian/Ovi bias that is perpetuated by the Canadian Hockey media.
Ovi (and the rest of the caps) haven't hit much of anything for the past 2 years. The Caps have become one of the softest teams in the NHL under Bruce Boudreau. Ovi has barely even started hitting and finishing checks under Dale Hunter. The near complete lack of fore/back checking is one of the main reasons Bruce B. was fired and the Caps have made early playoff exits and continue to struggle this year.
If you put together a list of players in the NHL that hit with the intent to injure, Ovi wouldn't make the top 20.
Hartnell made it in finally, only took like 5 people getting hurt for the leading scorer of the Flyers to make it but it is what it is, he's in now.

Cry some more noob and the reason Ovechkin has slowed down was because of a dirty hit that he did to anther and hurt himself.
I think it is pretty clear who know's more about hockey between the two of us, and frankly it isn't you.
Nice...Lets see who has the bigger penis now...retard.
Do you have a well thought out rebuttal to the points I made in my post, or are you only capable of drive by name calling?
I think I know the answer. So consider my question rhetorical.
Super Skills was a joke again IMO. The fastest skater competition needs to go back to the single lap format. Also having the goalie race and backwards skating defenseman is just retarded. I want to see Gaborik fly around the rink. On that note why wasn't Gaborik in the fastest skater competition?
