Alex Ovechkin guarantees a Game 7 Win for the Caps

For the record, Ovechkin is 2-4 in Game 7's in his career w 3 points

 

If they play like the first 50 minutes of game 6 they should be fine... Caps bave a lot of scrubs

 

Don't care one way or other....what he guarantees. Rangers need to
play their game.......and I hope they do mot go 16 minutes without a SOG.
That's just insane.

 

The Rangers built a 4-1, and then went into their version of the prevent allowing the Caps to get back into the game. If they keep attacking, the Caps don't get back in it.

 

I think they'll have another strong start tomorrow and score a goal... Just like Rick Nash broke the drought, Keith Yandle needs to have a game where he has 3points. I also think the 4th line will chip in a goal. They've been playing great.. Turned into a good line with Sheppard playing in the middle. He was 8-9 on faceoffs

 

Miller could have had a couple last night. Had a stupid icing, in that awful 3rd. Hopefully he learns a lot from the experience

 

Yea he sure does make a lot of mind
boggling mistakes.. Makes sense to play Moore and Sheppard down the middle of they're going to win faceoffs. I guess they want to give Hayes a break and play him at wing... I don't hats that line because they've had chances too but that Miller-Hayes-Hagelin line was good in the regular season

 

OV has a right to say anything he wants but he sounds like a desperate fool. He went a bit overboard with saying that the Rangers d is afraid of them. That only will pump the Rangers even more, not like they need it. Cant wait to see OV at the handshake line in tears on Wednesday.

 

sure doesn't seem like they're afraid of him... He can't score, he never does against the rangers

 

he does score sometimes but they know how to keep him in check once he gets going. They make adjustments as his game is very predictable. I do think they need to have a plan against Ward and Chimera. Those guys always drive to the net hard.

 

Chimera has been killing the Rangers for years I swear we are the only team he scores against in the playoffs

 

Game 7 cannot be a OT game. Just too chancey the way
the puck bounces around the goal. I could not take it.

Washington loves the bang and hustle game. Rangers need
total discipline to combat these Caps.

 

Rangers win game 7 4-1 and this time AV allows them to attack with the lead. Caps are not winning here under any circumstances in game 7. OV going from msg to russia immediately after game.

 

I am so sick and tired of watching OV charging and
ramming Ranger bodies into the boards away from
the puck time and again. And no penalty calls.
OV really thinks he's a gladiator in a slippery den.
This crap must end now.

 

I have to laugh. Reading all the comments from Trotz and some writers you would think the two choices OV had were guarantee a win in game 7 OR say we'll lose...LOL.

I guess he couldn't have said I am confident we will play well and bring our A game. I have a lot of faith and belief in this team and expect us to show up ready to play.

He couldn't have said that. Either I guarantee we win OR we'll lose...only two options...LOL.

 

I'll say this about game 7, it is a game 7 so of course I am nervous and don't want the offseason to start.

There are only two things that give me pause:

1. OV blows up the game. He knows this is so huge for him (let alone the team). He would take a huge hit if the Caps blow it AGAIN and he makes a guarantee and his team gets beat. He has to show up big.

2. Overconfidence on our part. I don't see it, but I do think about it a little. Oh we came back from 3-1 down how can we lose now. We are home for game 7 how can we lose. We are great in game 7's and elmination games and especially elmination games at MSG (and the Caps are NOT), how can we lose. Hopefully doesn't mean we show up a little flat and the Caps come out on fire and get an early lead.

These are the things I worry about. I don't see it happening, and expect us to win a hard fought low scoring game 7, but I do think about these things, and really believe the Caps will show up ready to play a very good game, and get a touch concerned.

 

I don't think OV has a huge game. There's a reason he never made it passed the 2nd round. I remember against Montreal when Montreal came back 3 to 1 Ovechkin was nowhere to be found in those final three games

Always a possibility, but I think will shut them down one more game

 

I don't have the problem with guarantee at all.

What bothers me the most is the arrogance which most Russian players have which irritates me to the core. I was born in USSR and ran away from that shit, and now to hear this just driving me crazy. He adds to the stereotype.

He is top 3 players in the world if not #1 right now. Show a little class. You represent NHL and also Russia.

I hope Rangers can pull it off. It is going to be hard......

 

He is the star player. He has been the star player for 10 years. He gets paid a ton. His team has won a Pres trophy. His team has won many divisions. His team has blown many series leads. His team has lost many series as the higher seed. All facts.

No doubt it is a team game and not all on OV, but he takes a HUGE share of the blame IMO. Just the way I see it when all those facts are reviewed.

It is also why I think he will go all out and then some to make sure his team doesn't lose this game 7.
