Alex Ovechkin Drops Them

Dec 13, 2010 12:27 AM John Chandler

Three fights came out of Sunday's game between the Caps and Rangers and Alex Ovechkin's scrap with Brandon Dubinsky was obviously the biggest.

Ovechkin laid a big check on Daniel Girardi and then went after Dubinsky, likely in frustration due to a lopsided score. Both did well for themselves. Dubinsky threw a little more and finished the game with a Gordie Howe hat trick.

Matt Hendricks also fought twice, first in the second period with Mike Sauer and then again later on against Sean Avery.

Good fight in this one. Both got some serious blows in. Ovie got it worse.
Posted by Jim on 2011-01-04 12:15:26 if anyone watched the caps pens HBO 24/7 special on wedsnday, they would realize dubi and ovi gave eachother a "hey good scrap, right right" after the bout was over. two hard working players trying to get something going for thier teams. what a great show that is too for anyone who hasnt seen it. amazing footage and commentary. LETS GO RANGERS

Posted by BleedBlue on 2010-12-13 17:55:06 as a Ranger fan, I love Ovechkin. He plays with heart, hustle and he knows how to use his size to his advantage. And anyone who calls a Dubinsky is a punk does not know hockey. Theres a difference between a hard-nosed kid who plays hard, throws hits and stands up for teammates, and an agitator like Avery. To call Dubie a punk on a play like this is stupid since Ovie and Dubie both went after each other and Ovie actually dropped the gloves first. Do not think this was a scum play at all.
Posted by Alex Courtman on 2010-12-13 16:42:58 Eddubbs - you're a complete idiot. I'm glad the ass whopping got to you the way it did. As for the two players - good job on both ends. I give Ovi props for trying to get his team going instead of breaking down and whining like a little bitch I mentioned above. Dubinsky - My favorite player for the past 2 years. I wish Gaborik wouldnt be getting overplayed so Duby can get more playing time. I'm a bit skeptical about Drury's and Prospal's return, afraid it will upset the chemistry thats working now. Also, lets not forget, Eddubbs - complete idiot.
Posted by Kuba on 2010-12-13 15:02:51 Ranger fan here....Props to both players for their actions...Ov for trying to stir his team with what I believe was a good hit...Duby made a b-line towards him to stand up for Girardi who was slow to get up...Ov knew someone would come so he initiated with Duby...both showed class afer game discussing event
Posted by fotiunystrom on 2010-12-13 13:17:42 Disclaimer: Caps fan. Interesting how team loyalties affect objectivity. My opinions (obviously): Ovie isn't dirty. Though I have to say that hit on (dude from Pens and former Cap (name escapes me) was pretty bad. Semin a scrub? Hardly. A head case? Seems so. I'm sure I'm about to get blasted. Fine. Just notice that I'm not blasting you. I'm just saying that peoples loyalties affect their objectivity. Its pretty crazy really. Oh, just so you know, I realize that my great curse in life is that I'm a Caps fan. Broken my heart something like 30 years straight. Sucks to be me. And to top it off? I'm a Redskin fans too. Will someone please put me out of my misery? Please???
Posted by PainKiller on 2010-12-13 12:00:40 Dubi is no way a dirty player. He plays hard. Can we mention the fact that Alex started a fight and never once thought to take his visor off? Thats a real tough guy right there. And Avery is generally a scumbag, I can admit that. But not this year. He's playing hard and controling the puck behind the net like the best of them.
Posted by Ryan Cummings on 2010-12-13 11:54:24 you are a complete idiot. dubinsky is an up and coming young player who plays with heart and stands up for himself when morons like ovechkin decide they want to fight. if anything the capitals are a bunch of goons with ovechkin throwing dirty knee checks and having other people protect him. combine that with semins scrub ass and you end with a team full of douchebags. rangers for the win.
Posted by f**kovechkin on 2010-12-13 11:24:26 Closer than the Ranger homers are making it out. Dubinsky landed two really good uppercuts in the middle, but Ovechkin landed one good one at the start, and later what looks like a big shot to the temple that stunned Dubinsky and made him hold on and take Ove to the ice.
Posted by salvador on 2010-12-13 11:06:43 OVIE took the loss plain and simple...at least he finally got finished off without a teammate coming to his aid. 1st fight and maybe last?
Posted by workingclass on 2010-12-13 10:29:46 What a dumb statement. Ovechkin got all hot and bothered and got beat by Dubinsky. Everyone loves this team, they sure as hell aren't as other teams, but no one plays tougher and drops em as much. 8, 17, 21, 22, 24, 42- all 26 or younger and only getting better
Posted by In god we prust on 2010-12-13 05:34:42 Why is he a punk you moron? Because Ovechkin stepped up to him and got beat. You are obviously a waste of life homer, and the only person who is a crybaby is you, the person who comes on the internet to wahhh wahhhh wahhhh, too bad your crapitals got smoked. I know your frustrated man but don't be such a douche bag loser all your life, ok? Ok!
Posted by Dubidubidoo on 2010-12-13 02:16:47 Dubinsky is a first class punk and is only outmatched as a cork sucker by the NHL's all time punk Sean Avery. It is cretins like these two that make it tough to like the New York Rangers. And while I am at it, Boogyman needs to get on another team. The Rangers are not a good match and fans like seeing the Rangers as they are- crybabies with no rep and nothing to back it up at the end. Is Avert Sather's puke son out of wedlock?
