Is Ovechkin a coach killer? | Hockey | CBC Sports

Boudreau’s failing might have been in waiting too long to try to break the talented but undisciplined star. God bless him, he did try in the end, and it did him in. Whatever blame falls on the coach pales in comparison to the responsibility Ovechkin must shoulder. (I will not bother to talk Semin here. He is a lazy, overpaid talent not worthy of the time). It is time for the brilliant but playoff-challenged Ovie to grow up.

When the Caps signed Ovechkin to a ludicrously long-term contract, I am sure they expected that he would mature. He has not.

As a former GM himself, Milbury is an authority on these types of situations.

Yup.

He ran Spezza, Chara, Luongo, Jokinen and co. out of town before they could get him fired.

It's funny (not really) that this idiot getting paid to voice his opinon is a major, major reason for the potential death of hockey on Long Island.

In Mike's defence, he never actually got the chance to mishandle Spezza.
