Anyone hear about that Ovechkin fellow last night on Hockey night in Canada?
November 22, 2009
Well if you didn’t you must be deaf!
So every Saturday I get ready for a good ol’ hockey game and get prepared to see the Leafs duke it out against some team yet yesterday I was at Daryl’s and we couldn’t help but notice something from our Announcers and commentators.
They couldnt shut up about Ovechkin!
We counted in the second period and got sick of counting by the 21st time he was mentioned in the first 10 minutes “Hmm I havent seen Ovechkin yet”
“Where’s Ovechkin” “Last period Ovechkin was Amazing I love him and want to marry him and make man babies with him he’s so great” <- last one may or may not be true…
But wait, here is the absolute best of the night
“Ovechkin is the most dangerous man on the planet”
I kid you not, apparently Osama, Pirates, Bowser, Dr. Robotnik, Look out for Ovechkin! He’ll fuck you up!
So ok the guy is good I get that, but when I am watching a HOME game on CBC for the Toronto Maple Leafs maybe I’d like to talk about them. They were all over Washington all damn night. I want to hear about that, I don’t want to see the Leafs all over a team then constantly hear about the other teams star player for some reason.
There was a very VERY satisfying point to end this game, Ovechkin could not keep his Team alive and we beat them in a shootout. Thanks Kessel, Thanks Hagman, Great fucking job Toskala! Put that in your Ovechkin pipe and smoke it 😀

love it
Well said…
More to the point, I'm pretty sure he was aiming for the CN Tower with this shot in the shoot out…
don't forget to drink your ovaltine.
Ya know, I live in a western US city with no NHL team (in the other Washington), so I don’t have a dog in the hunt (and no, I’m not from DC, never lived there). But the fact is that Ovie is just that good. I’m watching the game against Toronto right now, and he’s a pleasure to watch. Haven’t seen someone dominate the game like that since The Great One, and the Second Great One. He’s not as good as either of them, but he plays just as hard.
HNIC’s announcers’ job is to capture the imagination and excitement for all viewers, not just those who live in Toronto. I love Toronto (my wife is from there), but I tuned in to see Ovie, not them.
Well, as before the win is just as satisfying.
