> [@JayS](#): > > So Sekera is our #1 defenseman now? Really? That’s what putting him up against Ovechkin says. sekera matched up to the style of defense needed to play against oveckin… being able to put your stick on his, stay close and harass him, and be able to move your feet… cant think of any other guys on our team that could stay with him step for step ---

Ovechkin wouldn’t have half the points he does now if he played some defense. ---

> [@MicaH](#): > > i cant fuckin stand that we boo the best player in the NHL. ovechkin rules ! i agree. i was there last night and the first time people started booing, i felt like we were sitting in the Philly arena. im all for booing someone if its deserved, but just because we know we’ll never have a player like that is pretty rediculous. ---

I just don’t understand how we can leave him in Rochester all year, call him up, and 2 days later he’s the best d-man on the team. WTF? And either bench Kalinin or put him back with Pratt. I’m going to spray paint that message on Lyndie’s car soon. The guy is solid with Pratt, and a liability without him. ---

i was at the game last night and i watched ovechkin do literally next to nothing other than stand by the blue line, attempt to hit people, and occasionally attempt to skate quickly when and only when he got the puck…he’s a cocksucker plain and simple…who gives a shit if hes gonna break 60 goals? he plays a one sided game with no attempt at defense at least crosby plays defense…i’d rather see crosby break records than ovechkin the human sack of shit ---
