Oh, granted. The Caps came to play, the Pens came to survive. No question who the better team on the ice right now is, and Ovie’s on fire.

I enjoyed hearing his bellows on his two goals – you can’t not like the guy for his enthusiasm.

Great game, as I said. It’ll be nice to see the Caps in the playoffs and I just wish the Pens would stiffen up and make it, even if only for the awesome series they could have once again. The games between these two teams are just stellar and I’m already looking forward to Feb. 22.

For what it is worth, Ovi stayed out of the box last night, Malkin did not.

WFY, I have to disagree with you after watching the game. All Laughlin went on about before the game was the Ovechkin / Malkin rivalry. And from the looks of it, both Ovie and Geno went at each other again with some gusto.

Ovie may say it’s over, but actions on the ice – and the constant yammering from the booth – prove otherwise.

In any case, though the Pens lost, it was a good, tight game up until the last half of the third. And really, that’s all we fans can ask for.

The AP/ESPN article you linked to is pretty bad — completely one-sided. I find it surprising that AP would come down with such a case of yinzer pronvincialism. Oveckin said the feud was over a few weeks ago anyway.

Go Caps! Destroy the Pengyunz!
