Ongoing NHL Thread Part IV - A New Hope

[elocomotive]

Lol @ Hartnell.

 

[forty_three]

Pens just won.

Jackets need to get their heads out of their asses.

 

[forty_three]

So they've been running Werenski all night and it looks like they finally finished him off. I'd bet he separated his shoulder.

Mr Dubinsky, that's your cue.

Also, Joe Thornton has hurt his knee and it doesn't look good.

Jack Johnson sucks.

He didn't on that gorgeous goal!

 

[forty_three]

Jack Johnson sucks a little bit less than he did earlier.

 

[elocomotive]

Hartnell still acting like a bitch.

Sad performance from the Jackets.

At least no Jacket player was a third man in on a fight.

Yeah, they just started a fight over a legal check by OV that wasn't even a check (he's just stronger on his skates than Hartnell).

Sound like excuses, 43.

 

[elocomotive]

Oh my... there were fans in the arena this whole time?

Dmitri Orlov cleared for takeoff, thanks to that "bitch" Hartnell.

Yeah like the Caps wouldn't get into a scrum after a whistle ever. Must be great to be a fan of such a virtuous group of young men who can do no wrong from a place where everyone is handsome and rich and smells great.

Ah, now with the fan jokes. Do you have it in you to make a Tortorella comment, counselor?

 

[forty_three]

Fuck, that was close.

Jackets need to learn to not wait until a cheap late hit takes out their star before they decide to show up.

Lol, did I say that?

Your team got behind and got cheap and chippy tonight. That's what happened. BJs got some energy at the end, but Caps were the better team over 60 minutes. Good game, 43.

Bob 9-2-1 in his last 12 starts, but 0-1-1 vs. the Caps.

Well now I'm hungry for popcorn! Thanks a lot, jerks.

Alex Ovechkin’s hit on Zach Werenski will be reviewed by Department of Player Safety

I'm sorry, but I don't see it. His skates didn't leave the ice until contact was made. Maybe you could argue it's late, but I'm not buying it. Interested in a neutral's take on the hit

Also, one of the best parts of the game last night was OV telling Anderson to wipe the blood off his nose after their scrum:

He should be suspended for Tuesday's game

Hey, if you beat Pittsburgh I'd be okay with losing to you in OT....
