Some Things: Ovechkin Making Sure All The Capitals Players Stayed On The Ice To Shake Marc-Andre Fleury's Hand Was A Legendary Touch Of Class

For the longest time, the NHL was solely centered around the Pittsburgh Penguins vs the Washington Capitals.

And the rivalry always lived up to the hype.

You think about all the battles these guys had against one another throughout the years.

From 2005-2017 while Flower was in Pittsburgh.

7 games in the conference semifinals in 2009.

6 games in the 2nd round in 2016.

7 games in the 2nd round in 2017.

Obviously Ovi finally got over the hump and won his first Cup that year.

The goalie he’s scored the most goals against is Marc-Andre Fleury with 28.

Marc-Andre Fleury has the 2nd most all-time wins in NHL history among goalies.

They have 4 Stanley Cups between the two of them.

They both helped carry the league for close to 2 decades.

Well fuck, man, that’s just awesome.

Give Ovi the Lady Byng for that one.
