LA KINGS OUTSIDER 2.0

Nothing Went Right For Russia Last Night The NHL has done it's best to build up a rivalry between the league's two biggest stars. Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Semi-finals last year was built up bigger than the Stanley Cup.  Pens versus Caps.  Crosby v. Ovechkin.  And then what happened?  The Caps got blown out on home-ice.  After two periods, it was 5-0 Penguins.  Pens embarrassed Ovechkin and the Caps winning 6-2 on their way to capturing the Stanley Cup. The NHL has built up a Russia-Canada Matchup.  They dedicated an entire day of programming to a Crosby v. Ovechkin Special.  This was supposed to be the Gold Medal game.  The two most highly-skilled teams in the World.  The two biggest stars of the NHL.   The matchup came a bit earlier than anyone expected but it was going to be great none the less. And then Russia took a big dump on everyone:.  A big dump of "Euro-trash" according to Mike Milbury.  Russia'...

I Barely Recognized Ovechkin Minus The Tinted Shield PRE-GAME Latvia's jerseys= Harry Potter? My Prediction: Russia 10 Latvia 0 FIRST PERIOD Fedorov assists on Zaripov's PP Goal.  Russia 1 Latvia 0 Latvia takes another penalty; this could get ugly quick I think Ovechkin just took a five minute shift Radulov nets the rebound from his knees.  Russia 2 Latvia 0 Scramble in front of Russia's net on the PP. It's a shooting gallery here tonight for the Russians. Semin steals the puck and Ovechkin nets one from the slot with his skates on fire.  Russia 3 Latvia 0 SECOND PERIOD Russians are dominating the puck.  It's like watching the Red Wings x10. Huge Russian turnover; BIGGER save from Nabokov point blank. THIRD PERIOD KOGI Taco Truck Need Food...Too much hockey... Russia 8 Latvia 2 MY THREE STARS 1. Alexsei Morozov 2. Alexander Semin 3. Andrei Markov
