GO CAROLINA

Sorry Carolina lost y'all... but they are gonna make it to the playoffs anyway. The CAPS needed that win. Inmy opinion, the playoffs would be better off with the NHL's leading scorer playing!61 Goals!!!

I want Washingon to make the playoffs.... as the 8 seed.

I'm not sure what your point was with that post, but that was the rookie maximum salary; he also had nearly $3 million in bonuses each year, and has signed a contract extension through 2016 worth $9 million a year for the first 6 years and $10 million a year for the last 2.

i watched some of the highlights from this game on sportscenterthat guy Ovechkin is definitely sick...also I liked when he gave up his stick to the goalie since he had lost his...good team playerand this compliment is coming from somebody who could care less about hockey and all their white thugs ]

its should be self explantory according to the usa today this is what the caps pay him per season
3/26/2008 3:42:07 PM
actually it is through 2020/21. He isn't going anywhere, and he is worth every penny they are giving him. I think it is great that there is a personality like him in the NHL, but it sucks to have to play against him so much.
3/26/2008 3:42:30 PM
lets be honest, he's a cherry picking son of a bitchlast night, he just sat against the boards on the blue line waiting for the puck

3/26/2008 3:52:13 PM

3/26/2008 3:56:59 PM
he did seem to "sell" a high stick and another call or two maybe but more players are doing that..
3/26/2008 4:01:41 PM
what the fuck are you talking about
3/26/2008 4:02:58 PM

He has 61 goals this season , and he cherry picks ?
3/26/2008 4:06:00 PM
That's the entire point of cherry picking...
3/26/2008 4:06:47 PM
Im sure hes scored all 61 goals cherry picking . Call Barry for your spot on NHL TONIGHT
3/26/2008 4:12:49 PM
what would this board be without trolls?
3/26/2008 4:13:35 PM
i don't think anyone said he cherry picked every goal either..
3/26/2008 4:16:19 PM

3/26/2008 4:22:45 PM
He's getting paid $124 million dollar bucks over a 13 year contract, and he's just a cherry picker?OKOvechkin is sick, - he has 107 total points, and 61 goals.
3/26/2008 4:32:04 PM
those who dont understand the game of hockey should just go ahead and stop
3/26/2008 4:36:07 PM
Nobody in here is saying he is just a cherry picker. This thread was pretty much nothing but praise for Ovechkin until Bman rolled in with his random salary numbers and insults. He cherry picks quite often. So what. All the explosive goal scorers do; it's to be expected. Hell, Marian Gaborik may very well be my favorite NHL player, and the entire Wild system when he is on the ice is practically based around him cherry picking when it looks like the Wild are about to gain possession. wtf just happened in this thread
3/26/2008 4:37:03 PM
HAHA
3/26/2008 4:43:43 PM
Random salary numbers , those who dont understand the game should sit the fuck down
3/26/2008 4:45:17 PM
The random salary numbers was the capitals team
3/26/2008 4:48:32 PM
No, the random salary numbers were you throwing up his unadjusted rookie deal that's limited by the league.
3/26/2008 4:57:32 PM
no wai
3/26/2008 4:57:33 PM
1. Bman, learn to use the "edit post" button.2. According to you, am I allowed to discuss hockey since I've only had season tickets for 6 years?3. I wouldn't classify Ovechkin as a cherry picker. Sure he'll haul ass down the ice for a breakaway, but he's certainly not in the classic, Pavel Bure league of cherry picking.
3/26/2008 5:03:27 PM
9 million per year for the first six years and $10 million per year for the following seven Try going back with the Hurricanes all the way from Greensboro
3/26/2008 5:07:59 PM
^Damn. Isn't that when they invented the NHL?
3/26/2008 5:14:46 PM
i really couldn't care any less about how long anyone's had tickets, that was pretty much my point.if you know the sport, it'll show in your posts/discussions.
3/26/2008 5:15:10 PM
try going back to when ZARLEY FUCKING ZALAPSKI played for this franchise[Edited on March 26, 2008 at 5:41 PM. Reason : EEP]
3/26/2008 5:18:06 PM
I dont give a shit if ppl have have tickets from the whaler days . The point is Ovechkin isnt a cherry picker . There is a big differnce between staying at the blue line your whole shift and getting the puck at the line on your way to change .
3/26/2008 5:29:08 PM
^then you must have missed what I wrote up there. thanks for playing.
3/26/2008 5:31:38 PM
he isn't a cherry pickerbut he's not the king of back pressure, eitherhis cherry picking is on the order of erik cole'sexcept ovechkin can finish
3/26/2008 5:31:49 PM
I didnt miss it
3/26/2008 5:33:21 PM
oh hai u spelled zalapski wrongone of the best names the pens have ever had, and IIRC they traded him away for a guy named "ron francis"
3/26/2008 5:37:38 PM
I saw pavel bure when he was with flordia , His speed he doesnt need to cherry pick . Thanks for playing
3/26/2008 5:46:29 PM
^then you must not have watched. He was fast as all shit, but much like Jagr's been known to do, he would get all kinds of comfortable at the far blue line and wait.

He scored number 62 tonight.[Edited on March 29, 2008 at 9:09 PM. Reason : also got an assist]
