  1. @templetonbob well i'm not so sure…own goals aren't so severe in that they have a decent probability of happening…especially with so much chaos around the front of the net like that – and backstrom does so much more good than some people notice – this is almost nothing on an excellent track record he's made for himself

  2. @LegendofDelzaLol C'mon, find me another elite player like Backstrom who has done this…very uncharacteristic of such a talent

  3. even as a caps fan, i think this is funny, mostly because im pretty sure this is the last time the penguins actually beat the capitals in regulation in the regular season. hilarious that backstrom had to put it into his own net for that to happen.

  4. @LeafsJaysRapsFan09 Steve Smith was worse, it was for the Oilers vs the Flames and later became the captain of the Flames. Coincidence? I think not!

  5. @DuckyAgent lol !!! so good. was thinkin of writing the same thing. People like that are hillarious.. your just thinkin to yourself.. ' right, yup, we got that, but thank u for YELLING IT!! '

  6. And then he goes on to tell us that is indeed wearing a RED jersey, and wears 19. OMG! that is Backstrom! this Pierre guy was right all along. Im a Pierre fan, just fun to make fun here and there

  7. I understand mccabe trying to clear the net.. what the fuck was backstrom trying to do on this play…

  8. @LegendofDelzaLol plus the lack of a stanley cup but i dont know what you people in washington think a fantastic career is

  9. @afr1c4np3ngu1n well I'm actually a Rangers fan living in New York – but anyway a good career isn't defined by how many stanley cups you win…it's about the impact you make on the sport itself and the teammates you play with.

  10. You guys are idiots for saying ovi is a crybaby, that was in the heat of the moment and I'm sure all of you would fall to your knees if your team lost the game in the closing seconds, I'm not a caps fan but but at least ovi doesn't cry every time he gets hit

  11. Yeah and they call crosby a baby and he never cried.. OV is a baby, proof? here you go bitches
