Ovechkin vs Semin?

I think Kovalchuk is up there with these two guys. He just literally plays with nobody.

And did you guys see Datsyuk's shootout move? Zing

yea that was awesome, he just let the puck slide forward and made it look like he was stickhandling. I love how Hossa just ripped a slapper top right corner in the shootout :D

So who would you rather have on your team? Ovechkin/Semin or Malkin/Crosby?

I'm a Pens fan, and I'm glad to have Malkin and Crosby. Wouldn't trade them for Ovechkin/Semin, though you can't go wrong with either pair on your team!

I think every one of those from this year are highlight reel goals. Those were sweet.

Wowza...

Back to Semin, incase anyone was wondering he was interviewed earlier about the best goal he ever had (I'll try to find the transcript), and he mentioned the one against Sweden. At time 0:25....

Capital commentators were mentioning in the second period that they posed this same question to Phoenix coach Gretzky and he too reiterated that Semin had the better shake-and-bake but that Ovechkin is just the complete package.

Joe Beninati was on NHL live today and that came up in the conversation.

I still don't like Semin from the time when he 100% on purpose grabbed and threw the puck at the net against Toronto. What's the point of doing that? Obviously he is a fantastic player, but that one play just makes me think he is kind of a cock.

Is that the one where chad kilger started crying like a little girl to the ref about semin throwing the puck.

If you can find the video, you will see Semin laughing, as well as one of the guys on the leafs on the bench laughing at it. It was pretty obvious he was chancing his arm, not trying to be a dick.

Kilger was the cock in that incident. He bitched out immediately like a kid who lost his tootsie roll

So Kilger complaining to the ref about a legitimate botched call (throwing the puck is a penalty) is him 'bitching out/crying like a little girl/being a cock'?

I've played hockey for 20 years, I've never once thought 'hey, just for shits I'll grab this puck and try and throw it in the net'. It's a stupid play, and an old school player like Kilger isn't going to like it.

He didn't just throw the puck at the net, mind you. He was on his knees and he threw it behind his back and hit crossbar :lol:

The play was dead, it was after the whistle, and yes, Kilger bitched out. He was still crying to the ref 10 minutes later

[adam14 182]
