Did Ovechkin start here with little/no English skills? O.V. Makes a lot of endorsement money because he has OK English now. That's what these guy's got to realize. Unless your stuck in some Hockey wasteland, there's extra money to be made. Plus as you get older you need the language to take over leadership roles.

Yea O.V. worked hard on his English when he got here. Im sure he had some basic knowledge of the language prior to getting here, but he has gotten a lot better.

What is wrong with Canuck fans. In the recent shellacking of Chicago the Sedin brothers had 9 points and Daniel Sedin scored a hat trick. The faithful Vancouver fans threw one hat on the ice. One!
Canuck fans are best known for trying to burn down the city both times they lost in the finals.

Patrick Kane just set the record for most consecutive games with a point (19) for an American player. The Hawks are trying to sweep the 3 California teams on this road trip. When the game started the L.A. crowd was chanting "Crawford, Crawford", although he is being rested tonight and Scott Darling is in goal.
In their last game (vs San Jose) the Hawks were trailing 2-0 with a couple minutes left and pulled Crawford. They scored twice with their own net empty, and won in overtime.

Lol Malkin's last 3 or 4 goals have been ridiculous

Blackhawks can't seem to score a goal except their 2nd line. Patrick Kane's scoring streak keeps going though. He's at 21 games which ties Bobby Hull for best in Chicago history. He has to get to 28 to reach the top 10 all time. Gretzky had 50 something which will probably never be matched.

Carolina's James Neal's recent penalty for embellishment was so obvious, that the official blew his whistle and yelled "Fuck you, you get in the fucking penalty box".

You are right about the Pacific. Calgary is in 6th place and 3 points out of 3rd place. Even this early it is safe to say that no wildcard teams will come out of this division.

So Patrik Kane finished his point streak at 26. Longest since 93. He is currently the best play in the NHL. But the Hawks have to stop depending on the 2nd line for scoring.

Florida is on a 6 game win streak and is leading the Atlantic for the time being. What's good for 3rd or 4th in the Metropolitan and Central divisions, respectively, is good for 1st in the Atlantic. Ever since Montreal started shitting the bed 6 games ago they've been starting to look more like the Pacific every day. Both divisions now have groups of 6 teams all within 5 points of each other. The top 6 teams in the Atlantic and the bottom 6 teams in the Pacific are all legitimate playoff prospects, and none are in a safe position. Should make for some good hockey down the stretch.
And now in an even more insane stretch of events, Evander Kane has been placed under investigation (no charges filed) based on some sort of sexual offense allegations. I just saw some breaking news jaunt by Jamie Hirsche on NHL Network. How ridiculous is that? After Patrick Kane had finished putting his situation behind him; the only other player in the league named Kane is bringing it all back up. I mean, the simple fact that there is another investigation regarding the sexual conduct of a star NHL player is enough to revive the topic, but what a remarkable coincidence it is that its the other Kane...

I hope if it's BS he gets the same luck as Patrick Kane. It's not fair to him (or the other party). It's much better when it's obvious which way the real evidence really goes.

I would say Washington has been the big surprise of the league. Dallas is not unexpected because they have all those scorers.
It puts a lot of pressure on the Caps though. They have never advanced past the 2nd round in the Ovechkin era so if that happens again it's going to look bad because they are killing it in the regular season. Maybe having home ice advantage will get them to the finals.

This year is very different for the caps. Before, they were putting together phenomenal regular season records on scoring and offense alone. When they got into the playoffs, they weren't able to win from behind like they were so used to doing. This year is a whole different story. They have the fewest goals allowed this year, and are still 2nd in the league in goals for.
The Dallas Stars, however, remind me a lot of the Capitals of yesteryear. The Stars lead the league in scoring, but are 13th in defense (GF). They will realize that playoff hockey isn't the same as regular season hockey when they go up against a team like LA.
On a side note, I'm predicting an Anaheim breakout. That team is too good to continue to suck like this.

I didn't know Washington was excelling that much on offense and defense.
I don't know about Anaheim. They had us scared in the semi-finals because they could out-physical us anytime. The finals was the opposite. I thought we were as fast as any team but the lightning beat us to the puck most of the time.
