  1. Good for Ovie !!! Crosby today in the worse situation didn’t even stood up for his goalie !

  2. You love to see anyone on the Caps get rocked. Too bad this hit was clean. They all could use a few dirty ass hits thanks to their head goon douche Wilson.

  3. So, a suspension for the great ape for that two handed slash to the chest that they conveniently EDITED OUT?
    Nah, can't suspend the superstars for two handed slashes to "no name" players, right?

  4. Ovie is a fuggin beast, make no mistake! Werenski sh!t himself… that boy would get his clock cleaned by the Great 8… too bad it didn't get that far. Who remembers a couple years ago when Svechnikov (Canes) knocked on Ovie's door? Hahaha

  5. The announcers are confused thinking the Caps are upset that it's a late hit. They are upset because it was boarding, pushed him into the boards with arms fully extended, nothing to do with being late.
    The league really needs to specify the boarding penalty, right now it's left a bit vague on what is and isn't considered defenseless, what they consider a push, ect. The refs only really call it if it's blatantly from behind.

  6. It’s always cool that caps stand up for themselves but it would be much better if they have more wins

  7. Another example of how I can do everything and you can’t do anything against me and a friend. The power take was not overly dirty. Kuzya fell under the distribution. But waving a hockey stick and hitting an opponent at chest level like Ovi does, this is a real shame. Idol! Booo

  8. Ovi goes after a guy over a shove. Sid does nothing after Marchand sucker punches Jarry.

  9. I hate when the play by play guys are so obviously biased. Obviously you’re going to favor your home team as the teams commentator but seriously?!? Come on man, contact was already being made as he was dropping the puck. Was it a semi cheap/dirty hit? Maybe, that could be another discussion. Was it interference? 100% was NOT. But then what about the Ovi slash to Peeke’s throat in front of the net? Perfectly fair play, am I right?

  10. koozy ??? is the announcer sleeping with with "Koozy" ? i love listening to american announcers …gong show !

  11. You forgot about Ovechkin trying to take Peekes head off with a slash. At the end of the 2nd. Don’t worry. Not even the refs called it…

  12. Not sure what these announcers are watching, not a dirty or illegal hit by any means then Ovi tries to take Peakes head off….

  13. Kuz was too busy admiring his pass but yes you always try to make the other team think twice about playing physical , hence the Caps response .

  14. I love Ovi. Plays the game so strong. Marchand punched crosby's goalie in the head & crosby did absolutely nothing except hold marchand's hand like its ok buddy. Disgusting lol

  15. And yet after this, the Capitals slept thru another home loss anyway. Underachieving team this year, big time.

  16. This announcer is a complete dipshit lmfao. The puck was gone for maybe half a second

  17. In the scuffle, when Ovi was holding #8, I can see Ovi saying something and #8 of blue jackets clearly saying no.. I bet Ovi asked him ‘are you ready for a fight’. I have no doubt about it and #8 blue jackets looked scared when the hands were off him and even a second later when he was looking in the direction of Ovi.

  18. Gotta love when your franchise star and possible greatest goal scorer ever is also an enforcer.

  19. Worenski was shit scared of going for a fight with Ovi. You can see him saying NO to Ovi. Glad worenski cried out loud NO, else Ovi would have finished him off.
