Ovechkin and Kovy had a laugh after the game

[dash]

there was a article about laugh gate on the devils blog if anyones interested.and if you go back to the main page of the blog and scroll down theres an interview with sutter if your interested dash.

Fire & Ice

Thanks for that link, clarkson23, interesting reading some of the comments associated with that story (i.e. some fans intending to boo Brent Sutter, others have moved on). I know he had great regular season success with the Devils, but not so good once the playoffs started. Also hear rumors that some of the Devils players didn't really care for Brent Sutter.

Well, both teams desperately need points, why do I think Kovy is gonna break out with a hat trick tonight?

Should probably lay off the crackpipe.

That's good advice, Jeffy

/I think Kipper is getting a night off tonight

The 5-0 win for the Devs was false hope. Calgary 6 - 1 Devils

This is just another one of those little stories that makes OV look like a moron/douchebag. Taken separately, none of those things mean anything. Put them all together though, and they paint a picture.

That being said, I could use some fantasy help, so please light it up, douchebag.

Shouldn't you be happy about something like this?

This is completely irrelevant. I chat and laugh with friends on my opponents' teams after games, win or lose. Sometimes I do it right on the field of play, in the handshake line, whatever. It's just a game, and when it's over, you can't change it, so put it behind you. Sure, maybe the location was bad, but even given that I don't think it's a big deal.

The slump, the result of the game, that's all irrelevant. He's still a person, and his job for the night was over, having already given his post-game interview. It's perfectly acceptable that he gets caught up with a friend.

I owe you one DS42 (I've given out too much). Excellent post. Like someone else stated, they do it in football on the damn field.

Also mang, I had the Anchor Steam Porter and it was awesome. I still don't know which of the three (summer ale, porter or regular) I like the best. I think it depends on what mood I'm in and what the weather is like outside.

Hope all is well bud.

I just checked in with Hall of Famer Dino Ciccarelli on this topic. His response was:

"I can't believe I shook his freakin' hand".

As long as Ovechkin keeps doing this...

...I don't care if he has a giggle with his buds. He should have stepped into the hall for Boudreau's sake, but it's not a biggie.

You don't get paid to give a damn. Fine that he laughs and jokes with his friends after a loss. Don't do it five feet away from your boss.

If a guy had to give a presentation at work and completely fucked it up and lost the client, you wouldn't see him laughing and joking with his friend at the shareholders' meeting ten minutes later.

Why? I would rather OV do something to change my opinion that he is a jackass, not confirm it. I enjoy liking athletes. One of my favorite things about hockey is that it has a limited amount of jackasses playing it.

As the Coach, he is expected to be pissed, and to get mad over trivial things like this.

There is still such a thing still as sportsmanship after all. Fuck Boudreau if he can't take a joke.

Glad you enjoyed the read dash there after actually two more articles up today.one talking to sutter about the series vs Carolina and another with kovy talking a little more about laugh gate.I like how sutter pretty much says you can't escape the media in calgary

Seriously, that guy has some sand in his vagina.

Speaking of which bolt how's mottau doing I read Colin white called him recently to talk to him about the eye injury

Mottau is back in L.I.. He's suffering from Hyphemia, or blood in the eye. The pressure is down & he can see objects but tentative timetable for his return is 4-6 weeks.

 

[elocomotive]

Loki, I think you're buying into the marketed personalities a little too much. I don't think OV is a douchebag maniac just like I don't think Crosby is a whiner.

I think D'stone has a more measured and accurate perspective here.

 

[TheRobotDevil]

That's good bolt hope he doesn't lose any vision and all gos well.mottau was one hell of a guy used to sign autos and talk to fans all the time after games

When you see something like that the game goes out the window. My first thought was I hope he's not going to have any permanent vision problems. The fact that Mottau could be back in the lineup tentatively in 4-6 weeks is great news.
