Ovechkin's 50th Goal & Celebration - 3/19/09

[dobbyboy91]

lovin the lag

[MrNjdevilsfan30]

hey anybody who dogs ovechkin on celebrating probally doesnt know what its like to score a goal its exciting

[TheHockeyCrew]

especially in the NHL

[TheRealDerfMan]

Uhhhhh... regardless of how exciting it is to score a goal, this is by far THE worst goal celebration E-V-E-R..!!! We're talking about a man, a "professional", not some hot-shot 15 y.o. kid here. I enjoy watching this guy 'cause like him or not, he is exciting to watch, but it doesn't change the fact that this is THE worst goal celebration I've ever seen a professional hockey player do. Believe me, I'd say the same thing if Rick Nash or Jerome Iginla celebrated like this after scoring 50....

[reidman07]

Ovechkins good, but im not a fan. He could be such a better player if he would stop doing dumb shit like this and would get respect from the players

[LegendofDelzaLol]

if you say that about ovechkin then how do you feel about crosby? lol

[MrMusik19]

atleast he got his 50th all those a-holes say that he should stop celebrating so much it is because he is so better then everyone else.

[VancouverCanuckss]

What are you guys talkin about..ovechkin is amazing.. I think he is the best player the NHL has ever seen..and i know you will all say wat about gretzky and lemiuex...well if u watch gretzkys goals there no showy and they are boring and back then it was soo easy to score!

[swanny708]

youre a fucking douchebag

so what if they weren't flashy goals? a goal is a goal. and who are you to say it was easier to score back then? why would it be any different?

[TheRealDerfMan]

Hahaha! This Canucks fan must be 12 years old, 'cause he must have never watched Mario Lemieux, or Pavel Bure for that matter! Ovie is great, but he is no Lemieux! Besides, anyone who says it was "easy to score back then" doesn't know much about hockey. Goalies still let pucks go 5-hole despite the equipment changing. Teams have "defensive systems" in place now, but Gretzky and Lemieux had to deal with tons of hooking and interference that Crosby and Ovie don't deal with, so...

Ahh, silliness.

[thejack7272]

nice

[freshraj]

Why's it all choppy? Not too fun to watch compared to what others have uploaded.

By the way, to those who don't like Ovie's celebrations. YOU try restraining yourself from celebrating your 3rd straight 50-goal season!

[Elau8827]

If people don't like him celebrating when he scores.. well then, maybe they should try to stop him.

[iamnotyoursavior]

ovechkin is an over rated cocky excuse for a hockey player

[snootpelt]

Ya right dickwad. What's he rated at? Better than 150 goals in 3 years? He's a total game breaker you bulk cocksucker. He hits, scores and entertains and any team in the NHL would rightly pay huge dollars for him.

[FRANKENBERRY21ViDs]

hes such a fucking showoff with out him Capitals would suck chode

[Erilions13]

Theo Fluery and Tiger Williams's celebrations were game winners and Ovie doesnt have the class they do

even though one might be the penalty leader and the other may or may not have had a cocaine addiction

[addison988]

i agree. but there are limitations. I love the classy aspect of say ignoring some one who is trying to get you to fight or not retaliating or getting checked really hard and scoring on the same shift. i love all that as much as i do fooling around. i mean, that is what hockey really is playing some shinny with your friends and having fun.

[escobari]

I still dont get what's the fucking problem

[DrewEl2]

Though i like Ovechkin...i think he reached 50 goals from his illegally curved hockey stick

[Avaholics]

yess!! the best player ever! what a celebration! fuck you don cherry

[BramptonMandemLOL]

don cherry is wicked whats wrong with you lmao

[Cff87910]

Not thrilled with him using the stick as a prop, but I guess if you score 50 + goals each season, you have the right to live it up.

[Snorby99]

People need to stop hating on Ovechkin. The guy can do whatever he wants after he scores. I thinks it refreshing to see somebody love the game so much and have so much fun playing. He's the most dominate player in hockey and it's a privilege to watch him play the sport that most of us love.

[BramptonMandemLOL]

theyre not hating on him... hes basically mocking them with all that taunting. People arent hating on him they just think he shouldnt do it so much cause eventually, its gonna punch him right in the face and tell him to knock it off.

[ZZJOSH]

WHAT A GOOF

[Gongshow31]

he is a good player and i hate to say it but after that he is going to get it good, sooner or later some one in the league will get him and hopefully he will learn a lesson

[jjsmuggler]

He looked like he was taking a dump in the woods and was picking up leaves to wipe his ass!

[MyRaPeIsHaRsH]

ahahahhaha, i thought the same thing as well.

[sprent2]

Guys, he brought in the puck from before his blue line, passed three defenders and then scored...........he has reason to celebrate his 50th goal......besides it looks like he was just having fun and was not trying to be offensive.

[DJP87SS]

no. ovechkin is not the best. so shut your pie hole. he's a cherry picking cheap shot piece o crap. i really hope someone takes him out real soon.

[shirtlesslemons]

he's the best

[evanramone]

I don't want him on my team. I already have Sid and Malkin on my defending Eastern Conference Championship team. Ovi's pretty good at scoring goals, but what has he done in the post-season???

[peterock24]

He has as many Cup wins as Crosby and Malkin combined.

[shirtlesslemons]

what have sid and malkin done? No stanley cup so it doesnt matter.

[MyRaPeIsHaRsH]

neither has ovechkin, and he hasnt taken them to the finals either so i dont see the point you're trying to make. to take a 50 point-per-season team like the pens to the finals against detroit is definately a feat....

[shirtlesslemons]

Yeah but if you don't win the cup it really doesnt matter.

And Ovechkin was great in the postseason. The team just lost.

Pens will be lucky to make the playoffs this year. They won't make it out of the first round.

[MyRaPeIsHaRsH]

they're in 5th place and are beating the LAK 2-0 as we speak. Goal Scorers: Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin :)

[shirtlesslemons]

on pace to play the flyers or devils on the road....

good luck with that.

[MyRaPeIsHaRsH]

they'll be playing the flyers whom they whooped 4-1 last year i believe.

[grsnu]

Did you even watch the playoffs last year?

Ovechkin did  jack-all. He had like one point in the first four games and ended up a minus.

You dont know shit about hockey washington wont get past the first round

[TyranosauRoss]

Really? It all depends on who is hot in the playoffs. The Pens cannot be beaten right now. I don't even think the Caps could a week ago...The Caps will not win a cup because of their terrible goaltending and defense. You're a moron if you don't think the Penguins will make it past the first round.

[shirtlesslemons]

Bad goaltending? are you crazy?!?!Theodore is great.

And if you're a Pittsburgh fan I'm sorry. But the Steelers are the only team that will ever win a championship in the 21st century.

[TyranosauRoss]

You can't be serious.... Do you realize that there are still 91 years left in this century???

[Mugshotz53]

Lucky, huh?  Hmmm..

[shirtlesslemons]

lol then again the caps were too, should be a fun series

[Tudepgh]

He might be leading the league in goals, but he also leads the league in giveaways. He's a great goal scored but doesn't know the definition of 2 way hockey. He's a great player but he has room for improvement in about every other aspect but goal scoring.

[asmog1984]

I can post it again and again!!!!!!

[asmog1984]

Shut your fucked mouth, girls!!! You can remember Gretzky, Orr, Rishar, Mahatma Ghandy with King David or Mickey Mouse if you like. It doesn't matter. Main thing is that Ovechkin is FUCKING BEST NOW!!!! Nobody else!!!!

[asmog1984]

shut your fucked mouth,girls!!!!!!

Ovechkin is the best!!! You can remember anybody Gretzky, Orr, Rishar, even Mahatma Ghandy with King David or Mickey Mouse if you like!!! No matter who is it. Main thing is that Ovechkin is FUCKING BEST NOW!!!!! Nobody else!!!!

[ruhvi]

Idiots! Ovechkin is best player of that fucking league. And he's celebrations means that he enjoy's what he do... My respect on this guy! And i'am fucking happy that he's NOT any fat American redneck. Go russia!

[hckymaniac07]

These fucking russians are pathetic. Join football if you wanna do this shit. There is no class in it. i don't care if it's your 50th goal 100th or 1st. washington should pick up someone tough really fast, because with the shit that he did last night, i would be head hunting, and i know someone will.

[nogodforme]

I don't want any of these foreign players on my club. Why? They take the place of Americans when it comes to ice time and being stars. When the Olympics and Worlds come around, the Americans are left with average players.

That's why it's always Russia V. Canada in the worlds. It's why the ratings of the NBA, NHL and MLB have dropped. The foreign experiment is over done.

Put an American out there and feed him the puck all the time and they'll be just as good.

[canadianhockey99]

I do not think there would be enough good Americans to fill even 4 or 5 teams ever. The league is already 60% Canadians for a reason, I'm not sure if you want the Canadians out too by the middle paragraph. If you wanted the league to be all Americans you would be down to about 4 teams and it would be a terrible league. NHL is suppose to be the best talent in the world anyways thats why 60% of the league is Canadian, and there are more Europeans than Americans. All-American league would no fans

[leftcoast67]

It's not like he's rubbing it into another teams face. His celebrations are always spontaneous, and amusing. I see nothing wrong with it. He's a dynamic player, and a dominant force in the NHL.

Who wouldn't want Ovechkin on your club?

[capskelly]

Freaking AWESOME!!!!!

You know what is the saddest thing though? the little petty jealousy here. Because; in all honesty - if Ovechkin was on YOUR team - you would be dancing in the streets.

[untzmaster]

yeah i agree with the guy before me if ovi was playing with gretzky he'd dominate more than anyone. you guys are retarded and uptight about his celebrations he loves the game and loves to score and deserves to enjoy. The dude plays a game for a living he should be allowed to have fun. and no ones gunna run him cuz he can handle himself when it comes to the physical aspect of the game. you guys along with don cherry are retarded

[ravidhaliwal]

Gretzky is my favourite player of all time but honestly, if ovechkin was playing in that era, he would have easliy scored 100-plus goals.

[intb28]

don chery was right about one thing, some goon is gonna pop him hard one day and knock him out for awhile. if this was the 70s he would be leaving the arena in a stretcher.

[intb28]

thats the difference between guys like ovechkin and guys like mario and gretzky. NEVER did you EVER see any of them make a fool of themselves like that. they had more talent than ovechkin will ever dream to and they did it with class, the way it should be. ill admit the guy is one hell of a hockey player, but he has what, one playoff appearance in his career? get some stanley cup rings and then youll be able to dance around your stick.

[PolarManki]

Well to get stanley cup 1 player isnt enought. And how did he offend someone?

[capsfan311]

50th goal... It's a milestone goal. Nothing wrong with a little celebration. Don Cherry is a douche - the John Madden of the hockey world. I wish he would hurry up and die.

Yes, one playoff appearance in his career - with MANY more to come...

[foppa123]

it was childish and lame; Flyers will knock him out this year too.

[leshabitants97]

50 goals on what 600 shots?

Not Impressed.

[capsfan311]

Hahahaha... you're an idiot. Maybe you should add the name Phil Esposito to your "not impressed list". He scores because he shoots. THREE back to back 50+ goal seasons. Anyone on YOUR favorite team accomplish that? Doubt it.

[leshabitants97]

Guy Lafleur had six 50+ goal seasons in a row.

Ovie is no Guy Lafleur, that's for sure.
