You know everyone talks about Ovechkin, and he does deserve it, but i think Green is just as dangerous. That power play scares me because of Green, not so much Ovechkin. Green has a cannon and used it to score 30 goals this year. The Rangers need him off his game.

I was shocked Avery didn’t get a call there. I really don’t like Green because he is so cocky, but that was interference 100% – and I don’t think he dove.

yeah I don’t think he really dove either but I would have been pretty heated if it were called. Green is a monster though. He scored more points than any Rangers forward this year and is just as much a reason as Ovechkin is for their power play being 2nd in the league. I think he’s a GREAT player, but his cockiness is out of control at times. But then again, that might be part of the reason he’s so good.

if Ovechkin did that to, oh idk say, Redden it 100% wouldnt have been a call. It’s the playoffs, you have to let some stuff slide.

Avery crushed Green along the boards with the end result being Green face down in the Rangers players laps in their bench.

great hit, but do you at least cede that Avery going back and keeping Green on the bench should have been a penalty? Thats the epitome of interference is it not?

“when Avery crushed Green along the boards with the end result being Green face down in the Rangers players laps in their bench”

Also, on that Avery check of Green into the Rangers bench, he almost paid a horrible price for his stupidity of keeping Green on the bench, by taking an accidental blade from Green’s skate to his face…he was so intent on pinning Green down that he paid no regard for his own safety…as Green’s legs were dangling out onto the ice, Avery’s face accidentally bumped into one of Green’s blades, slicing Avery. At some point, Avery always crosses the line, and in this case, he could have ended up literally killing himself.
