Never again do I have to wait for the other shoe to drop. Never again can idiot analysts like Mike Milbury pretend Ovechkin isn’t great in the playoffs. They cannot take this away from us. Read more

Would’ve been better if it was just a montage of me giving the finger to every Canadian hockey analyst who shit on Ovechkin and the Caps for terrible reasons for the past decade. Read more

This is my favorite comment I’ve ever seen on this site. Read more

Christ, there are STILL people mad about that? Good lord. Read more

This is good analysis, but watching the end of the first period vs. all of the second period belies it somewhat. Vegas was attempting exactly what you mention in the last 10 minutes of the first, and it wasn’t working at all. They played a LOT of dump and chase in the second period, and despite the score, absolutely… Read more

The creator of Deus Vult, a Steam user named TauronSS, doesn’t divulge any identifying details about himself other than that he’s a “Swedish guy” who first got interested in Paradox around Hearts of Iron III.

Yeah, but how many truly great goal scorers have changed their game dramatically to cope with declining physical skills without seeing a huge dip in their production? It’s a short list, man. That was my point.

I’m not sure why people are taking this like I’m saying “Ovechkin isn’t good any more.” He’s still great, he’s… Read more

If he doesn’t want his face to hurt, maybe he should try not sucking at hockey. Read more

I don’t buy the argument that Ovechkin has somehow matured and is sharing the puck more than he used to — that feels like some Mike Milbury revisionist history stuff. He’s always been underrated as a passer and he’s always been good in the playoffs. Read more

Shit, I thought that horn WAS Pierre McGuire, getting angry that anyone might be rooting for Washington. Read more

I kept looking at that thinking whoever he had wrapped up (Wilson? Orpik?) should’ve been sitting there going “why are you hitting yourself, why are you hitting yourself.” Read more

Please understand: I’m not saying his skills as a goal scorer have declined. That’s actually been the remarkable thing, and it’s what sets him apart — he’s remained the best goal-scorer in the league past the point when time should have made that impossible. He just hasn’t done it by blasting past guys the way he used… Read more

Yeah, man. It became clear they just wanted to get out of their as far as possible. Read more

Vegas did dominate play in the 2nd period, even if they were aided by two power plays from a borderline Tripping call on Carlson and a Being Named Tom Wilson call on Wilson. The only reasons Washington got out of that period with a 4-0 lead were a) Holtby was standing on his head (even the two goals in the third… Read more

I’m still trying to figure out why Oshie got sent off at the end. Best answer I’ve heard is because Vegas was fixated on him and headhunting him and the refs were hoping if they sent him to the locker room it might calm things down. Read more

Reaves was being a bag of dicks all game (like he is every game, fuck that guy), but man, those last five minutes should be embarrassing to Vegas fans. Read more

I mean, I don’t know that any power play with Brett Connolly on it can realistically be called the A-team. Read more

I’m still trying to figure out why the hell Colin Miller thought either of Oshie’s big hits should’ve drawn a penalty. The first one, Miller tried to borderline cross-check Oshie and got stood right the hell up, making for a pretty sweet self-own. The second one, Oshie and Miller were both going for the puck and… Read more

It felt like Vegas felt like they were somehow OWED zone time because they’re the scrappy little underdogs and everyone should be handing them a title. Read more

I’m not sure I’d believe it even then. Read more
