he's only had one bad year and it was only bad because he set the bar so high. Hunter system doesn't flatter ovechkin at all, I think he will have a big year next year.

i think there are several reasons for ovie's change. one is putting the 'c' on his shirt-he hasn't been the same since. then he lost his #1 assist guy, backstrom, for a lot of this season. then there was the move towards more d by boudreau, with the shift in play completed by hunter. i think ovie showed a willingness and ability to change his style of play during the postseason, but i have no doubt at all that losing time on ice really ticked him off.

Congrats to the Kings, 8-0 on the road so far is pretty damn impressive.

As bad as they have been all year, they have been pretty bad all playoffs and getting by with timely goals and Lundqvist. Might see Dubi tonight!

The chatter is that Dubi's in a Mitchell is out.

Could be just the spark we need if he is 100%.

Mitchell has played well in limited minutes. If this was results based only, he'd be in for Gaborik.

You know a guy is dirty when even Shane Doan is calling him out on it. Some shady play from Dustin Brown last night.

When has Shane Doan ever been up for the Lady Bing award? I like Doan, but he's another guy that plays on the edge.

That's my point. If Doan says it's dirty, I take it as double.

I look forward (hopefully) to him getting bounced around a lot by Callahan. Guy is trash.

Frankly they could take any of them out except Cally and Kreider for all I care.

Dustin Brown's always been kind of a wild card. He'll be nationally reviled if he continues his nonsense during the finals.

I'd like have both of them on any team I rooted for. You need players that have an edge to them and when they are highly skilled and can play special teams it is that much better.
