La Coupe Hauxer

A battle for hockey bragging rights through head to head competition between each of our favorite teams - Devils (Brad), Flyers (Wiley), Penguins (Sam), and Capitals (Fritz/William). The winner(s) gets the historic La Coupe Hauxer and the universal currency of respect/adminiration. The loser(s) gets the Stanley Screwdriver, the universal currency of humiliation and has to buy everyone dinner at the Vienna Inn. Game on!

No wonder Crosby won't be in Turin

And now a brief statistical comparison:

Alex Ovechkin, WAS LW 32 19 19 38 -1 20 20:04 159 11.9 9 9 1 0
Sidney Crosby, PIT  C 33 14 19 33 -9 40 19:19 107 13.1 6 8 0 0

Keep in mind that Crosby plays on a team of veteran NHL players while Ovechkin plays with a bunch of nobodies. Speaking of, the nobodies on the Caps are doing better than the vets on the Pengyunz.

Washington 32 11 19 2 24 92 127 13.0 77.3 7-8-1 4-11-1 3-6-1
Pittsburgh 33 8 18 7 23 88 133 15.2 78.9 4-8-4 4-10-3 1-8-1

How can this be? Have all the Pengyunz adopted the patented Lemieux training regimen (ciagarettes and cheeseburgers) already?

Looks like the Caps are getting a more with a lot less than the reckless Penguins. Third place in LCH must be little consolation since Washington's acesnsion to third place is pre-ordained. You guys better get ready to be feed all of us.

    While we screwed up tonight against the f'n Flyers, Crosby seems to be holding his own. 2 G, 1 A, +3 and 2nd Star seems to be a pretty good night, even though they came up short.

    I'd mind your tone with regards to moving up. Head-to-head, Crosby's one up on Ovechkin, so until you can beat us for real (none of this preseason stuff), stick that in your pipe and smoke it.

    Olympic hockey isn't real, anyway. There's no blood. You need blood. They're not bleeding enough.
