This is why Crosby is better he finds a way to break through, just like he did against Ottawa. Explain to me why they didnt try to change tactics by going high when they know full well going low hasnt been working and will never work against Halak,their meant to be the best of the best arent they.

your fancy book learnin school should have taught you that a hot goalie beats all. I don't care how many goals you scored in the reg season, or who you are.
As someone else said, I didn't see Semin's line to stacked either.
Alot of those shots were shot right on him from a fair distance,Ovehckin didnt look very scary either.

Well first of all how many big games have the caps had? They havnt been great all that long. Im saying the team has dissappeared not just him. Gretzky, ovie, crosby, whoever you want may have zero goals tonight they way montreal has played. 1 guys isnt involved all the time like basketball where you can say, kobe or someone choked all series
Why does it have be an NHL game? He dissappears and has his whole career right from the Go,d Medal Junior Worlds game where he got bodychekced in the first 3 minutes and cried and sulked off the ice and in evey situation like the poster said. He has ZERO BALLS....One of the biggest pussies in the NHL and it is hard to picture him ever winning anything of any meaning.

Ahhhh man did we bend them over and spank them...I LOVED that series.....
I know my Bruins have had some bad chokes over the years (2002) (1993) was really bad. I try to forget that shit. Just found it funny he doesn't mention his own team in 2008.Wasn't that long ago.

Wasn't 2004 when you blew the 3-1 lead? Poor Knuble. He must hate the Habs.

Ya but that season was a fluke for the Habs. It was discussed to death but Montreal was 8-0 vs the Bruins that year which meant that the Bruins had a better record against the rest of the league as an 8th seed than the Habs who were #1!
Anything can happen but this isn't a 1 game winner takes all, the better team and the team that wants it more usually comes out on top in the best of 7.

i wouldn't say he's a choker, i'd say he isnt that great, sure he gets all these points in the regular season, but who wouldnt if they were sitting at the far blue line waiting for there teamates to pass the puck up, he's a floater and in playoff hockey that wont get you far. he was the same in the olympics, world juniors. im tired of everyone saying he's the best player in the world. crosby is a far more complete player, he does it all, he's a winner, a true leader and its not just about him. he does what ever it takes to win and if it takes back checking to do it then he does it not like ovechkin and go to the bench when there's a 3 on 2.
im sorry to the people who love ovechkin and hate crosby, but if you know hockey you would know crosby is the better (all around) player.

so true exactly why i have hated the way this guy has played throughout his career.
too bad we cant bump that ovechkin is so much better than crosby thread from last year when 90% of the forum thought it was lunacy to think sid the kid was better.
Yeah you would flutiemaniac

First of all I'll admit that I dont really like ovechkin either, and there are some things he does wrong, BUT i think you guys are putting too much blame on ovechkin here. Here are some facts. in 28 career playoff games, ovechkin has 40 points. Think about that. Way more than a point per game. Also, I dont think that anyone can say that the 2 prior years Ovechkin choked, the guy was unbelivable last year, especially in the series against crosby. Ovechkin still had 10 points in the habs series, but he did try to do too much, especially in the last few games. He kept trying to go around everybody and take the puck in on the pp instead of dumping it in, and he should have used his teammates more. Give Montreal and notably Halak some credit he stood on his head. I understand Ovechkin could have been better, but on a purely statiscal standpoint the guy was by no means a choke artist.

There is some great value in betting Montreal to win te series. Pens, Stanley Cup champs must be over-rated (bookie wise). Also, didn't Washington beat Pittsburgh in the reg season?

when you are the best scorer in the league and the team leader and you're 1-3 in game 7's it's a choke, and when you choke in juniors and the olympics, too, it's a choke
Last time i checked Canada has been a favourite to win almost every world junior tournament, and they were the favourites at the olympics were they not? Ovechkin has 40 points in 28 playoff games. I guess nobody remembers how well he played against the Pens in the 2nd round last year? Its a team game, you have nothing to back up your statement with.

I dont even know why Im sticking up for Ovechkin because I dont even like him, but can you people ever make a thread about ovy without mentioning crosby? And its funny how the person who started this thread said he cant find proof of ovy showing up for a big series, when all he has to do is look at any series, because ovy has been productive in every playoff series he has been in. He had 13 points in the pens series last year. In 84 career international games beginning at U18 he has 100 points. Lets get off this guys back for a second.

Pittsburgh will crash the net and not be afraid like the Caps were, they will also bully the little Habs more....
No doubt the Penguins found away to break through Ottawa in game 6 on the road when they were down by 2 goals late in the game right their that took alot more effort then what Washington showed.
