Ovy or Bure?Dude got a hatrick in the first period. I just read,"By hitting the 50-goal mark in his 67 games, Ovechkin is the fastest player to reach the feat since Pavel Bure did it in 63 games during the 1999-00 season."Ovy is nice, but man, Bure, I dont think you can witness a more exciting player, dude was godamn sonic the hedgehog!Buremute the audio on this video, its awful

oh and dont tell me i sound white, i got some pigmentation here, but i'm comfortable with "you sound canadian", it's an honour, not an honor!

    holy shit....

    I don't know a damn thing about hockey, but I remember reading the back of a Pavel Bure hockey card back in the day that read, "Bure has three speeds. Fast, Faster, and Fastest." Somebody ought to start a NHL thread. I know SOI is into it. Yall can tell me who the hot teams are, and i'll watch.

    I watched Bure a ton during his peak. Size is Ovy's advantage. That being said, I don't know if he'll even play 10 years in the league. He plays pretty balls out. He could end up like Lindros if he's not careful.

    I have questions:

    1) When is it okay to hit a dude?

    2) How often do players get injured?

    3) When you are a superstar scorer, is it like having a big target on your back?

    I remember when Bure was all the rage, he could dangle like no ones biz. Still have his signed rookie card somewhere (probably isn't worth shit though).

    2) Often.

    3) Sometimes.

    Bure was more talented, but as pointed out, Ovy goes
    10x harder, his drive is almost disturbing.
    He's pretty crass and a spaz, but he's also still young.

    Bure was "classy" but also a diving whiner, and his career
    seems to have been fairly short, or maybe I just forget he
    was in the league all those years in the black hole of Florida?

    Anyway, a better and more immediate comparison is Ovy and Malkin.
    I think I'm in the Malkin camp on that one, and think he could end
    up being exactly the player that everyone thought Lindros would be,
    a giant monster with hands soft as Parkay.

    Of course, Ovechkin got a hat trick and 5 points in a 10-2 beatdown
    on my team tonight, so I may be a little biased.

    I'll add:

    3) That's why there's hired goons.

    Are you allowed to hit the dude who's about to hit your teammate who has the puck? I think I've seen this sequence before.

    No, that is textbook interference and a penalty.

    A more accurate answer to #1 is, you can hit the player
    with the puck, or who was the last to touch the puck, which
    is why so often a player is hit after passing or shooting the
    puck, as they are still eligible to be hit, although there is
    a grey area where you can't hit someone like 10 seconds after
    they pass the puck - it has to be pretty immediate.

    awww yes. Thanks for clarification.

    This is a little too long after passing the puck
