And that's why Ovechkin....

And yet when the baby hacked off a guy's finger, did he even get a penalty? Amazing the tunnel vision Pittsburgh fans have. But this is nothing new. Worst fans in all of sports, and yes, that includes Philadelphia.

Apparently you are incapable of watching any of the videos posted? Yes he got a penalty, and he got a penalty for the stick to the groin on O'Reilly.

I'm a lifelong Flyers fan and I can't believe The NHL isn't doing a damn thing about Ovi and Nisk. They should both be out for the remainder of this series and face fines. I can't stand Crosby and no matter how much I dislike a player they do NOT deserve what happened to him! The Caps were out to take him out because they lost the 1st 2 in DC and were looking to send a message. If I were The Pens I would be out to take both Ovi and Nisk out... you want to send a messag? You tell The Caps "You want to play like that we will injure the players would injured our Captain. If we lose the series, so be it, but you are NOT going to get away with that type of play."

And it is ridiculous that the league lets it potentially play out that way by not protecting players better.

It is truly bizarre to me that fans not even with a team in the series are cheering this. It is like the Rutgers and Pitt fans who cheered on the Sandusky thing. (obviously different in many ways but the same kind of thinking) Pathetic losers.

Wow, when was the last time I agreed with a Flyers fan? Kidding, good and accurate post.

Stranger things in life can happen.

I have been a big promoter of major league sports adoption the rule that if you injure a player - intentional or not - and they player is unable to play, then you should be suspended without pay for the duration that player is out. If you end a player's career... so is yours. It would clean this crap up VERY quickly.
