Alex Ovechkin vs Sidney Crosby.. Pittsburgh Penguins vs the Washington Capitals.. after all these years.. it is still one of the best rivalries in hockey. We break down their most recent game.. and what it means for the NHL playoff race.

  1. It's almost like the Penns take their foot off the gas and start playing a "prevent D". Then get back on their heels and it's hard for anyone to get back momentum after doing that in every sport. I'd think the coach needs to address it. When the Penns are on their game, they may be the best in the league. We probably won't know how good they could be.

  2. Mantha is only a lead weight on Washington. They need to just waive him since they won't get a return anyways

  3. I didn't except any of this teams getting into the playoffs, especially Caps with all injuries they had. But they always show great games!

  4. The rivalry ended years ago when Pittsburgh claimed cups when the caps were getting handed first round exits

  5. I swear, sometimes Kemper plays like he has only one good eye. Like, how does a Stanley Cup winning goalie let in so many clean shots over the glove hand. It boggles my mind how bad he plays some games🤔

  6. They were rivals before Sid and Ovi arrived but it’ll be weird for a long time once they go

  8. Why are the Russians even allowed to play in the NHL but in the Olympics they are banned they should be sent back to Putin if they support him

  9. The Caps need to GET RID of Mantha this offseason, regardless of whether or not they make the playoffs. He's been AWFUL & COMPLETELY INVISIBLE.

  10. Ovi vs Crosby saved hockey imo. They came into the league during the dead puck era and made hockey exciting again. the dueling hatricks in the playoff game was an instant classic. the endless Ovi vs Sid debates brought drama and excitement to the game. You really don't see that kind of heated and passionate debates anymore. When they retire, it would be an end of an era.

  11. You can't call it a rivalry…. This is like saying that a "Bug has a rivalry with a windshield"…. Yes they go head to head all the time, but the windshield always wins…. Ovechkin will always be the bug to Crosby's Windshield…..

  12. Terrific breakdown. If I had to choose between Ovi and Crosby, I would pick Ovi. But, they are two tremendously gifted players.

  13. Was a great game

    Pens fan, but I have so much respect for Ovi. Dude is such a beast. Looking forward to him beating Wayne's career goals record

  14. As a wings fan, I really hoped Mantha could revive his career in Washington but his hockey IQ is abysmal.
