Let’s talk about the New York Rangers and Washington Capitals series which just finished with New York completing the Sweep in Game 4. We’ll cover all that and more in today’s NHL hockey video!
The red wings would have actually made it a series. Us wings fans have been saying caps don’t belong there and we were laughed at. How quickly we were proven right
About his age, I believe Pavelski is older and still somehow getting better. I know Pavs doesn’t have 850 goals but still, no excuses for Ovi in terms of age.
I want Ovi to beat Gretzky. It's great for the sport. Washington burned themselves for the first half of the season for this story. Notice how that storyline disappeared, no one is talking about it anymore.
Man…. the Red Wings should have been here, not the perfect team but you could see their fire in those final moments, they put 2 shows for the ages and chances are they would've pulled it again vs the Rangers. The Caps only got here not even by luck, just old man Torts playing worse games than old man Ovie.
All those years crushing opponents finally caught up with Ovie.he didn’t want to be there wishing for the series to be over never saw the guy even try as much I dislike Wilson he was the only player that give everything on the Ice maybe Lingren now bring the candy canes and let’s keep this going #LGR❤️🤍💙
I see a lot of causes: 1. Yes, his age, less energy, but passion is not depend on age, look Crosby, Kopitar… 2. He`s simply injured or his body resists hard loads. 3. He just tired from regular season or tired from hockey at all but he MUST play to break the record. 4. He frustrated from Orlov, Kuzy, Backy lost. 5. It still hurts from father lost. We don`t know what exactly is happening, but It would be fair to everyone: owner, coaches, teammates, fans – tell us what`s going on? You can`t just walking around while your team is fighting in playoff. Sorry for my english, I`m russian and always supports Ovi, but i don`t like to see that.
Ovi hates Amerika and had no interest of putting effort into the playoffs. Hear me out I dont think Ovi cares anymore as i think he despises (means hate) America and has tuned out.
Most people from outside the western world just hate the US under Biden as you continue to push evil (gender identity madness) and war around the world
I know american liberals dont like hearing this but the Global South and East LOVED Trump. We felt like we had a break from the wars America either starts or causes for 4 years
Ovi I am sure just doesnt give a rats arse about anything but that record
I think that Ovi is capable of a lot more, I think he was just putting out the "what's the point of even trying hard if we have 0 chance of winning this series" type of effort.
1) The team is not built around trying to get Ovechkin the scoring record. This season quite the opposite. They are a defense-only style that limits chances both ways and severely hampered Ovechkin's ability to score this year.
2) Ovechkin "doesn't care" because he's frustrated with the system. See 1). If you need a refresher on how much he cares about winning, go back and watch his Stanley Cup run and his antics before during and after.
I watch your videos regularly. High quality. This one was very very hometown Rangers-y in your Ovechkin analysis (second only to Pittsbugh fans) but hey, we're all fans and the passion is awesome however you slice it. Cheers and good luck to NYR … my pick to come out of the East this year.
as I say Ovie has no interest in the playoffs, Caps got lucky other teams stunk more than them, he is just interested in staying healthy to break Gretzkys record
Caps made their decision when they signed Ovi to this deal and I don't think management expected them to make the playoffs. Imo, TJ Brodie plays out his deal and retires, maybe gets dealt next year at the deadline. Ovi plays until he breaks Gretzky's record or his deal expires (which ever happens first) and immediately retires, then Washington burns it down.
I have a feeling Ove is done. Don't think he really cares anymore and may only hang around not caring for at least another season so he can score some goals to break the great one's numbers. Anything past that he has no interest in. Sweeping could either be good or bad. Gives you time to rest and recover but depending how long you wait without playing could work against you. Truthfully I'm hoping the Islanders win as many games as possible to wear Carolina down.
Getting this done in 4 games is ideal. There's no benefit in playing more games as the playoffs are a gauntlet. You save much needed energy and no risk in getting injuries while everyone else runs into each other some more. We have a coach who will actually prepare the team for whoever is next. That along with their continued dedication to win will keep the 'rust' off. With Ovechkin laying eggs and the rest of the team injured or playing as rookies, the Rangers got away easy with some sloppy behavior. Gotta reign in the penalties and turnovers because everyone going forward will capitalize on those mistakes. Watching the Rangers fail to clear the zone is going to feel much different in about a week.
ovi deserves to get benched for the first ten to fifteen games of the next season. carbery has to send the message that ovi plays for the team, not his record. and honestly, he doesn't deserve the record at this point.
Totally agree that I would have liked to see Pitt, Detroit, or even Philly here instead of the worst goal differential team to make the playoffs. There was a 99% chance of a NYR sweep, no one is surprised at this.

wish the pens or wings got in. isles and caps were boring af
The red wings would have actually made it a series. Us wings fans have been saying caps don’t belong there and we were laughed at. How quickly we were proven right
As a Pens fan, all i’m saying is you’d never see Crosby playing like this, especially in the playoffs
About his age, I believe Pavelski is older and still somehow getting better. I know Pavs doesn’t have 850 goals but still, no excuses for Ovi in terms of age.
I wonder how his diet is that hes so slow now
so sad, the wings or the penguins would have been so much more entertaining and be giving so much more fight.. 🙁
A waste of a playoff spot and a POS captain letting his team down. After what Lindgren did for them this year, he deserved better.
I want Ovi to beat Gretzky. It's great for the sport. Washington burned themselves for the first half of the season for this story. Notice how that storyline disappeared, no one is talking about it anymore.
If this was Ovechkins last playoff game then good, fuck him.
🧹
Him and Matthews only in it for themselves! Greedy bastard's
Be thankful Rangers r healthy, less games less wear and tear
Did you just start watching hockey? Rangers shut Ovi and the Caps down big time in 2015 also. Rangers usually own the Caps.
Man…. the Red Wings should have been here, not the perfect team but you could see their fire in those final moments, they put 2 shows for the ages and chances are they would've pulled it again vs the Rangers.
The Caps only got here not even by luck, just old man Torts playing worse games than old man Ovie.
holy fuck oshie is 37???? when did that happen
Rangers have won one cup since 1940
and that was with buying the 1980s OILERS
Carolina will bounce the Rangers
Ovi doesn’t care because the goals don’t count for the record and that’s the only reason he’s playing and not back with his buddy Putin in Russia
All those years crushing opponents finally caught up with Ovie.he didn’t want to be there wishing for the series to be over never saw the guy even try as much I dislike Wilson he was the only player that give everything on the Ice maybe Lingren now bring the candy canes and let’s keep this going #LGR❤️🤍💙

Hear me out
I dont think Ovi cares anymore as i think he despises (means hate) America and has tuned out.

I know american liberals dont like hearing this but the Global South and East LOVED Trump. We felt like we had a break from the wars America either starts or causes for 4 years
Ovi I am sure just doesnt give a rats arse about anything but that record
I know i wouldnt if i were him
Backstroms last season as well I would guess.
I think that Ovi is capable of a lot more, I think he was just putting out the "what's the point of even trying hard if we have 0 chance of winning this series" type of effort.
A number of things you said are simply wrong.
1) The team is not built around trying to get Ovechkin the scoring record. This season quite the opposite. They are a defense-only style that limits chances both ways and severely hampered Ovechkin's ability to score this year.
2) Ovechkin "doesn't care" because he's frustrated with the system. See 1). If you need a refresher on how much he cares about winning, go back and watch his Stanley Cup run and his antics before during and after.

IMAGINE Sidney P. Crosby in this series ! Holy shit he would’ve & would still be tearing shit uppp
Playoffs is unpaid overtime. Plus it's keeping him away from his buddy Putin.

Thank God they shut down number eight from Washington and he the worst one on the team
I have a feeling Ove is done. Don't think he really cares anymore and may only hang around not caring for at least another season so he can score some goals to break the great one's numbers. Anything past that he has no interest in.
Sweeping could either be good or bad. Gives you time to rest and recover but depending how long you wait without playing could work against you. Truthfully I'm hoping the Islanders win as many games as possible to wear Carolina down.
Imagine playing on the Capitals the next two years knowing nothing matters except Ovi's goal record and you have zero chance to win anything…

He’s not beating Gretzky’s record
That proves why Crosby is better than Ovi
This proves why Crosby is better than Ovi
This will not be Ovi's last trip to Subway.
Eck with another low effort video, never change Eck
ovi deserves to get benched for the first ten to fifteen games of the next season. carbery has to send the message that ovi plays for the team, not his record. and honestly, he doesn't deserve the record at this point.
Has there ever been a worse team in the playoffs?
Penguins, Flyers, or Red Wings all would’ve been so much better. Playoff Crosby is a dude and so is Kane. Both have played great this year.
Seriously we had to watch THAT . Atleast when my Pens would have been swept it would have been 3 otl that they choked.
As for the question, it depends on if it's Carolina or not. Really it all depends on the opponent and overthrowing

Good bye caps 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Rangers have always handled Ovechkin well in the Playoffs, only 23 points in 36 games for him and now he's old.
Ovi should go home now… done with nhl 👍🏼👍🏼
Should have been the penguins. Philly lost to prevent the red wings getting through on purpose.
Crosby would have made a far more interesting series
Now we know what "wash" in the Washington stands for
I think your take, basically comparing Ovechkin to Marner, is pretty basic.
I'd say Ovechkin was injured.
Ovi 👍
To add to the extra time off, I think it is a disadvantage to have an extra easy round, especially the first round.
