Well, hockey has come to an end for the year. What did you all think of the Stanley Cup? The season in general? Players who did best? Teams who did best? Anything else?
The Stanley Cup was fun. The Red Wings were clearly the better team (They were the best all year, too), it's a shame they didn't win in Game 5 at home. They outplayed the Pens all overtime, but hey, the Pens delivered first and that's what counts. Marc-Andre Fleury is a great goalie and he kept them in the game.
I'm tired of the Sidney Crosby hype. He's good, but he's not THAT good. Game 3 he played great, nobody is going to deny that, but in game 5 he had THREE 1 on 1 chances and failed to deliver on each one. Add to that that he gave the Wings some of their best chances from his stupid show off behind the back passes and you have a bona-fide failure. He passes the puck well and I respect that, he's just not as good as the NHL wants to hype.
This season was very fun for me as a Caps fan. Caps went from last place to winning their division under a new coach, young players came up big, we picked up Sergei Federov, and Alex Ovechkin is the fucking shit. That boy can do everything, and he deserves the season MVP award without a doubt. Also, his limited grasp of the English language proves hilarious in many situations. It's a shame we lost to the Flyers in round 1, but it was most of those guys' first times in the playoffs. Next year, we're gonna take it further.
Overall, I've enjoyed this season more than any other in a long time. Just was overall very exciting and interesting throughout. I know we've got some hockey fans on here: thoughts?
