Whatevs. I'm sitting over here on a 19 year old rookie, first time ever in the playoffs, playing with two other rookies on his line, at 25%, baby.

Hit em with the four, Auston, brrrup, brrrup, brrrup, brrrup...

Small sample size, six games, but be stoked.
On the season Auston Matthews had a 14.3% shooting percentage over an 82 game sample size.

11.7% is Ovechkin's shooting percentage on 4 goals in 34 shots.
His career shooting percentage is 12.3%.
That's only 0.6% off his career average.
Hardly choking, more like negligible difference.

His best season, Ovechkin had a 14.6% shooting percentage.
That's only 2.9% off his playoff average so far this year.

Auston Matthews regular season shooting percentage; 14.3%, playoffs, 25%; elevated his game in the playoffs, not that Washington fans would know what that was all about, and why is that? Ochokeskin, who knew?

Be stoked about the kid, he's the real fucking deal, franchise center is ever their was one, right out the box. Wish my team had that kind of luck in the draft lottery, we didn't even get a top 3 pick this year. Fucking Bullshit.

Yeah, you got screwed, Nico Hischier might not play center right away, but he's gonna be a stud, he'll play for the Devils next year, probably on a line with Hall.

Style wise, he actually plays like Crosby.



Scored more points for the Mooseheads than MacKinnon did, MacKinnon's best year was 31+47 for 78 in 58 games, Hischier was 38+48 for 86 in 57 games.

[StCapps]

Yeah, you can't get to Crosby by fucking with him physically, he's no softie, that's not a weakness of his anymore.


It's as if SilverEagle was just asking the hockey gods to smite his overconfident ass, lulz. The Caps finally listened to us, knocked off the pussy shit, and they won a game, go figure.

If the Caps blew that game, I was going to die laughing at how pathetic they are, instead they are back in the series and they fucked Crosby's shit right up. Kuznetsov finally showed up, and Shattenkirk didn't shit the bed for once. The Pens better not let this get to 2-2 heading back to Washington, and they might have to do it without Crosby given that concussion history.

"You wouldn't be surprised if we got swept?
Well fuck you StCapps. Off with Crosby's head!
We'll show you."

Bravo Caps, bravo, if only you did it earlier in the series and didn't nearly lose by choking in the final minutes of the third period.

Literally executed the Smitty plan to a tee, the only variation was that it was Niskanen with a crosscheck instead of Orpik with an elbow.

Yeah, you really nailed it on the head. The Caps problem isn't that they don't have the horses to play physical, it's that they didn't want to play that way until tonight anyway, desperation mode brought it out of them. Glad they snapped out of it though, better late than never, hopefully it isn't temporary because I'm sick of that pussy shit they pulled against the Leafs.

Tell you what, Capps, if your Avs are going to win the lottery, next year would be the year to do it, this guy is who you need, right here, Rasmus Dahlin; a.k.a. Karlsson 2.0.

Hockey Gods, please let us win the draft lottery next year, for the love of all that is holy. Pretty please, with sugar on top.

Hockey Gods being cruel to you right now, you missed Heiskanen this year, by just one pick, no way Dallas doesn't take this kid.
