Ovechkin's an idiot

NEW YORK -- The New York Rangers had an interested observer sitting on the visitor's bench as they took the ice for their pregame skate Monday morning.
Washington Capitals winger Alex Ovechkin was watching the Rangers practice when a Rangers trainer complained to the Capitals. Washington PR man Nate Ewell then asked Ovechkin to leave the area.
"Alex was just looking for a place to relax. He likes being by the ice," said Ewell. "As soon as he found out it made the Rangers uncomfortable, he left."
When asked why the Rangers wanted him to leave, Ovechkin joked: "Because they're afraid of me."
When asked why he did it, Ovechkin joked that he sat there to "tick off" Rangers coach John Tortorella. His answer drew many laughs from reporters.
Tortorella insisted after the skate he had no idea Ovechkin was there.
"Who? Oh, god, this is the first I've heard of it," said Tortorella. "Ask me a question about the game, not that [expletive]."

That explaination by Ewell was the most obvious bullshit excuse I have ever heard. I mean, at least TRY to make it sound believable. It's obvious what he was there to do.

Spygate II?

So what, he watched a morning skate. He watched them practice stuff that they do in games. Big freakin deal.

They go over lines and strategies and shit in practice. That's stuff the other team isn't supposed to know

It's all BS. Let's be real, at this point, you're in the playoffs, the other teams know what works for you. You're not going to depart from the gameplans that got you to the playoffs. Both teams know almost everything about the other team, so watching their morning skate isn't as big a deal as it would seem, if you ask me.

It doesn't even matter, the Caps haven't looked all that spectacular anyway.

So the Great 8 was there to watch a goalie practice?
Cause that's the strategy that the Rangers use. Rely heavily on King Lundquist.

I think the whole thing is stupid, he was prolly trying to take a nap before their skate

morning skate is nothing big, not everyone shows up, and Ovechkin was only asked to leave the bench that's all, there's nothing to this story at all
