[DX231]

[Maverrick11]

[suckduck1]

everybody has a b-day so u shouldnt celebrate it? STFU losers learn about hockey before u go talkin shit

[leonbolle]

what a bastard he is a giant arrogant bitch... dumbass!!fag loser

[trueblue494]

Why are people hating on Ovechkin? I absolutely love him and I'm one of the biggest Ranger fans you'll meet. I'm not gonna be stubborn or anything and hate him because he's not on my team. I respect him because he's young and extremely talented. And I really hate how everyone compares him with Crosby..they're two different players, just let them play.

By the way, why are people complaining about his celebration? Just because the goalie was a rookie? That's the most ridiculous thing I've heard

[suckduck1]

haha tottally agree

[96bona69]

@trueblue494 u r really right

[chilliwackhockeykid8]

i think its braggy but a pretty cool cele!

[rileysmiley143]

oh well he can score 50 goals in a season.. he still looks like he's wearing a pubic hair beard.

[ForThaE]

and you look like a gay bear so shut the fuck up.

[king45]

I didn't understand a single word of what he was trying to say.

[AlexOvie8jr]

how?

[lambinc13]

Forfeit 11 you are a dumbass and the little crosby luver ivand87a should seriously live a little. I have never in my life seen someone with the passion to score goals like Ovechkin. Sure, Crosby is a great player but seriously live a little this guy is the REAL DEAL!

[IceTeaThrash7x]

Bure > Ovechkin

[zhuanfalun17]

everyone who is crying about this should shut up and stop watching hockey, the guy just got his 50th goal, none of you would care if it was your fav player doing this, youd be laughing and happy as shit. You all know Ovy is a hockey prodigy, just wont admit it cuz hes so great and hes not on your team. Fuck hes not even on my team Im a ranger fan. I feel bad for this guy cuz he has to live in crosbys shadow when we all know who the real bitch is. Good for you ovy! Keep it up.

[trumpashvili]

Alex do what you do best....

Do not listen to anyone, this is ridiculous, celebrate the way you want it.....

It's nice to watch you play....

[robw90]

Ummmm you're dumb. I said AO is the man.

[Forfeit11]

To bad he scored his 50th goal on a ROOKIE, THATS RIGHT. His like.3rd god damn game playing in the NHL.. Yea...Congrats to the dumb russian

[robw90]

At least it wasn't an empty-netter for his 50th.

But to be honest, Alex Ovechkin is the man.

[alejoe84]

so what? so if its a rookie you have to treat him like a girl? please man its hockey.

[ToxicRainDrop]

fuck haters. theyre just jelous.

ovechkin is the BEST!!

[hardcorecanucksfan]

Your a dumbass lol...

[ejay987654321]

OV's the best player in the NHL he can do whatever the hell he wants and lets face it it could've been a lot worse

[BonfireLives]

Let him celebrate... there's nothing wrong with it

[Dangler94]

Honestly its his 4th season in the NHL he scored 50 in 3 of the 4.. I think he has the right to celebrate the guy is a scoring machine. Anyone who is upset at this.. just take a step back and take it for what it was.. it wasn't to chirp the other team or make tampa look ridiculous.. it was something he did to celebrate his 50th.. no matter what team he was playing against he was going to do it. He did it strictly for laughs and enjoyment.

[coolmoec]

haha i can't believe people are even talking about this, who cares, he celebrated... lol. To anyone who was "offended" by this appalling act of moving his hands up and down above his stick, have you ever watched any other sport? Just laugh, like you should. sports are games, and games are fun.

[triumphelf]

Crosby need's to hog the Puck more!!

[ovechkono]

hahah u havent talked about sissy cindy grab mclean and started beating him for no reason. GENTELMAN THAT HE IS AND NICE CLASS TOO. Your talkin like ovie is afraid of something.

[ivand87a]

Crosby lost it, it wasn't right. He's not perfect. And Ovechkin isn't perfect either. He's known to run guys over and then he can't drop the gloves and fight. His hit on Jamie Heward was a charge that went uncalled, horrible hit. His hit on Briere, his hit on that guy Wirz as he came out of the penalty box in the 2007 World Championships - TERRIBLE hit, he would have been suspended for that shit in the NHL. Well probably not since he gets star treatment. But the point is, AO is a dirty hitter.

[ovechkono]

umm dont u know everybody that hits will eventually cheapshot someone cause they arent perfect and it sometimes accidents. Look what brier did, he speared him, isnt that what sissys do? He should hit him, plus can you fuck off this whole 2 pages filled with out retarded argument. Please dont say that i started it cause only children say that.

[ivand87a]

I was initally appalled by your comment about fighting being a "show" in hockey. I understand why people who are not hockey fans might think it's a sideshow or unnecessary, but if you're a hockey fan, you should know better. So that's why I replied and we got into it.

I have admitted that Sid crossed the line with McLean, but you can't admit ANYTHING wrong about Ovechkin. You're too biased. If memory serves me right, Briere barely speared him AFTER AO got away with a really bad hit.

[ovechkono]

ok but did briere get away with it? YES

[Dangler94]

charging is when you take more than 2 strides and dont glide to hit someone.. his hit i admit was more along the lines of boarding if anything.. and as for ovechkin getting star treatment... ovechkin is not the one over talking to the refs everytime they blow a whistle and chirping them for making calls against his team.. and as for him being dirty.. he has had a couple of hit he could have let up on yes i agree.. but crosby is no clean cut guy either..

[ivand87a]

You think Ovechkin doesn't complain too? The other day he was talking to the the refs as he skated to the box and was still pissed while serving his penalty.

And if you really believe Crosby's whining after every call that goes against the Pens or after every non-call, then you're insane. I watch every Pens game on Center Ice, and let me tell you something, I can't remember one thing from my 13 years of watching the NHL that was so completely blown out of proportion.

[Dangler94]

No im not saying ovechkin doesnt complain.. because he does.. every player complains.. and ill tell you something that is blown out of proportion is your complaining on ovechkin.. Yes crosby puts points up yes he is a great hockey player.. but they are mostly assists.. we are talking about goals here.. thats how this started not about who's dirty or who complains to the ref's more.. 4 seasons 3 of which he has 50 goals thats all im saying when crosby does that let me know

[ivand87a]

That's great that he's scored that many goals. Tell me when he puts up 120 points in a season and wins a playoff series.

Joe Thornton beat Jagr in 2006 for the MVP and Lester B. Pearson. Look up their stats. Thornton had FAR fewer goals but he dominated offensively by setting up his teammates. That's what Crosby and Malkin do. It doesn't really matter how you produce offensively, whether it's goals or assists - and that's why the scoring leader in the NHL is the player who gets the most points.

[martylocal87]

but joe thornton was also just better that year. Goals are much harder to come by, how many scorers in the nhl are even close to the level ovie is on?

[ivand87a]

Goals are much harder to come by? Check Crosby and Malkin's shooting percentage, they're better than Ovechkin's. Ovechkin just shoots a lot more.

And if assists are so easy to get, how come no one can catch Malkin and Crosby this season? Do you think it's a coincidence that Petr Sykora just happens to have 8 game winning goals?

"Long live the player who knows an assist is worth as much as a goal" - It's in Canadian commercials, but hockey purists know, it's the truth.

[tonyfruits]

your not insisting that shooting percentage matters, right? and i agree with you that assists matter too. thats how elias broke mcleans point record.

[ivand87a]

Because of the character limit on here I sometimes have to edit out some stuff. The point was that AO passes up chances to pass the puck in order to shoot. And there's nothing wrong with that.

But considering his shot total, I'm not so impressed by the number of goals he has, and his shooting percentage proves that. If he had at least as many assists as he has goals, I'd be more impressed too. In my opinion it's fitting that him and Crosby are tied in points, because they are just as good.

[martylocal87]

maybe stop riding crosby and malkins dick so hard, there not that good..

[martylocal87]

and im sorry, do assists win games?

and if assists are as hard to come by why do players hit 80+ assists every year, and more than one of them. This year ovechkin could possibly and is looking to be the only fifty goal scorer, and when he wins the hart and the richard you might stop telling of malkin and crosby.

[ivand87a]

Wow do you hear how dumb you sound? So you're saying assists are easy to get right? Then how come Ovechkin hasn't even hit 50 yet?

I could care less if he wins the Rocket Richard and if he wins the Hart, so be it. It doesn't really mean all that much, it's an individual award. We'll see WTF is up when Ovechkin wins a playoff series. The fact is Crosby and Malkin are right up with him in points and the reason for that is that both of them are just as good, they just don't shoot 20 times a game.

[AlexOvie8jr]

they don't shoot 20 times a game bacause they don't have the chance to shoot 20 times a game

[ivand87a]

Actually, no, they don't shoot 20 times a game because they're selective and are looking to set up teammates more often than Ovechkin. Not like there's anything wrong with Ovechkin's approach, but he could have even more points if he passed the puck a little bit more.

[Francisfranck]

He's a scorer fuck the pass

[82hky82]

55 goals 53 assists, shut your fuckin mouth.

[allstarjason]

Ovechkin is better than bull**** like this. He's arguably the best player in the league right now, but that doesn't give him the right to do a staged celebration like that. Ovechkin should be ashamed of himself.

[NolimitdpgTRU1]

YEAH!!!!!! OVECHKIN WE LOVE YOU WERE LUAGHING WITH YOU OVI ROCKs!!!!!!

[fashpart]

ovechkin is sick but that reporter loves him a little too much. he was starting to piss me off.

[dergster]

people are making to big a deal out of this. its just a goddam celebration. he's a good player, you cant deny that, let make a celebration! is not like he came up to the other teams bench and yelled at each one of them, its just a little dance.

[daggerrrrrr]

Right! They acting like he skated over towards Tampa's bench and dropped his stick and waved his hands over a white hot flame. BTW: That would have been too funny.

[dergster]

lmao i can imagine him doing that

[Passdpuck2]

lets see gp10 for straters he is a damn russian, and lets see if you caneven get a gaol in the nhl you lttle no good 10 year old

[gp10]

what a clelebration?stupid americans..that was the stupidiest hockey celebration i ever seen i dont care if he scored 50 that was just embarassing

[cwgatti]

Let the guy have some fun. The NHL needs personality. Who would you rather have as the face of the NHL? A whinny little crybaby like Sid, or a BETTER player like AO who is really having fun out there? I am a Ranger fan, and PERSONALITY like Avery makes the game fun to watch.

AO is the BEST and I LOVED the celebration. If AO was Canadian, Don Cherry would treat that dance like the Canadian National Anthem was playing along with it!!!!

[pv06hs]

"I'm sure he's trying to prove a point," Crosby said of Ovechkin. "He's been probably criticized a bit about it." Crosby reasoned that Ovechkin wanted to show that hitting the 50-goal mark for a third time in four seasons is "something that is important to him." Added Crosby: "He's showing that passion, and that's fine."

[Enzomage]

Красавец !!!!!!!!!

[charizardownsu]

i dont no how that can be annoying is it cause ur lightnings fan and ur mad that u got scored on and it was for 50 goal he doesnt do it all the time gees calm down

[KMarshall5]

hilarious!!

[Thatsmypunk]

I thought it was entertaining. Ovie makes the game look fun.

[Gabranthh]

"Me, Jose Theodore, [Nicklas] Backstrom and [Mike Green] said if I score goal, Jose tell me just put the stick on the ice and try act like it's so hot. Backie stopped and Greenie stopped, so I have to do it myself."

I heard: I thought we're going to do it together, but they just stayed away watching me and laughed. :D

Let the guy have his fun, maybe other players critizing him are just jealous of his skill because they'll never score 50!! GO OVIE! He can do whatever he wants.

[Jared1287]

At the same time, he celebrates way too fucking much, even for an average goal with no milestone. At some point, you just have to realize, a goal is a goal.

Somebody's just gonna punch him in the face soon.

[senseit2007]

He makes the game fun. You sound like a bitter Crosby lover.

[Jared1287]

actually, I know that Ovechkin's better. I just don't like his celebrations; They're pointless. It's fine if you celebrate milestone goals, or an amazing goal, but I mean, c'mon, almost every goal? Please.

[DubKballa]

O is a big boy he can handle himself if you dont want him scoring why not stop him on the ice.... people fight out of frustration so it only proves you can keep your kool

[ovechkono]

somebody just has to put a stick into your asshole

[Jared1287]

Another excellent comeback.

from you people caring so much, you should start a fucking group of fangirls.

[mr0glass]

Totally premeditated..this isnt the nfl. I have no problem with celebrations but don't plan them, its just silly. Don't hurt me I still love ovechkin hes just got some maturing to do

[GMONEYAKABILKO]

Овечкин Россия Утритусь нуеучи, пишите по Русски )

^^^^^ How the hell do you type that??????

[SmokeAFatty69]

That celebration was money!!! That's what it's all about.

[ovechkono]

hey if cherry thinks ovie is turning hockey into a show or into soccer. than fighting turns hockey into show.

[ivand87a]

You don't know anything about fighting over there in Russia. Fighting is PART of the game in North America. And it's part of the code of respect. And Ovechkin doesn't understand any of that.

[ovechkono]

Are u seriously high? Fighting doesnt score any goals or win games it just brings injuries. Plus what makes you think i live in russia. Plus u better not have said that russians cant fight at all. Boxing or just all kind of fighting russian kicks north american butts any day.

[KPOJluK0]

Овечкин Россия Утритусь нуеучи, пишите по Русски )

[giutarmastersergey]

the best in the world-way to go sasha!!!

[manofcoast]

Ovechkin just having fun and loving life. You don't like his celebrations? Then keep him off the scoreboard.

[alz2kewl]

Hahaha anyone see the interview after the game where he said he dosen't care what Cherry thinks and called it coach's room.

[martylocal87]

he just has fun. how can you hate on that?

[bishoptl]

WTF is Tocchet gonna do? He's lucky to even be in the league.

OVECHKIN FOR EMPEROR

[axg8746]

his own teammates didnt even want to be a part of this joke, green said "no way i'd join in on that" both coaches also think he is a joke, BB planned to have a meeting with ov about it and tocchet has no respect for him. Act like you've scored a damn goal before...

i recognize ovechkins hockey ability, but carry the same amount of respect for him as he does for other people other than himself...which in none

[Hordedog]

You really think Boudreau thinks Ovechkin's a joke? Get real. Maybe Bruce disapproved of the celebration but he has tons of respect for Ovi as a person and player. And who cares what the fuck Tocchet thinks?

I agree that last night's celebration crossed a line into the crap theatrics they do in the circus they call the NFL. But every other celebration Ovi has done up to last night is nothing but excellent in my book. Showing joy for scoring is a shot in the arm to this sport. And F Don Cherry!

[axg8746]

as far as the caps ridiculously over the top goal celebrations ya im sure he does, as does the rest of the NHL...put your arms up and let your team come over and congratulate you then skate to the bench, there is no reason to celebrate every goal like you just scored a game 7 OT winner

[martylocal87]

he makes this league eight times more exciting. Id rather watch him then any other player with ease.

[axg8746]

that's to bad for you then, you know, since you've never gotten to see him play past the first round of the playoffs...i think puck daddy put it best.

"But there's also something said for holding off on the whole "hot stick" dance stuff until you've won, say, a playoff round in your otherwise remarkable regular season career."

[martylocal87]

ive heard bruce boudreau make so many nice comments about ovie. He thinks ovie is easily the best there is, which is true.

[expertti]

Just have love that guy. Pure awesomeness. I like those celebrations. Just remember what Fleury did in CGY, it was funny aswell...

[TheRockChamp]

"Me, Jose Theodore, [Nicklas] Backstrom and [Mike Green] said if I score goal, Jose tell me just put the stick on the ice and try act like it's so hot. Backie stopped and Greenie stopped, so I have to do it myself."

HE IS A KID, WHY OTHER TWO KIDS DIDNT HELP HIM? BACKIS AND GREENIE SHOULD TRY THIS FUN :)

[vovkirina2007]

Я его просто обожаю!!!Черри, смотри шоу и радуйся, Санек просто супер!!!

[camelionplus]

Thats was funny!

MVP! MVP! MVP!

p.s. Don Cherry sucks.

[lecavalierfan004]

Here comes Don Cherry!

[indierockdoesnt]

HOT HOT HOT

[phasibone]

Not often would you see a hockey highlight on ESPN on a first night of March Madness, but Ovy managed to do it.

He's the best thing to happen to the NHL in the past 10 years.

[stanmirales]

MVP MVP MVP

[strkfitrsqdrn14ao]

"Me, Jose Theodore, [Nicklas] Backstrom and [Mike Green] said if I score goal, Jose tell me just put the stick on the ice and try act like it's so hot. Backie stopped and Greenie stopped, so I have to do it myself."

hahaha I love it. TAKE THAT DON CHERRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Antoshkaaa]

Yea, now I am going to hear Cherry one more time go at it this coming Saturday, argh.

But really, it was a little bit over the top IMO even though I am a huge fan of Ovie.

Nevertheless, congrats on the 50th goal!

[ovechkono]

whats wrong with it? not over the top. seriously u have to enjoy these stuff instead of pretending that hockey is too serious

[alz2kewl]

What a celly hahah so awesome. Why do people make a big deal out of it seriously? It's entertaining and it's not like your on Tampa.

[jasonfrowe]

Hot stuff coming through...

what's he saying at the 1:50 mark?h
