"Listen up, all jobbers from The Pensblog. Pay attention, Nicholas from Pittsburgh Sports and Mini Ponies...now is not the time to get cocky. The Flyers proved the Pens are not invincible."

- China Jack, April, 2009.

Alex Ovechkin doesn't follow this line of thinking. That little "sssshhhh" at the end of the game? Just another self-indulgent display from #8. Congrats on staving off elimination, but the series is far from over, you idiot.

And he can't even be original. Remember Maxime, after fighting Carcillo when the Pens were down 3-0 and rallied to eliminate the Flyers in Philly?

Situation-wise, Max knew he had baited a hothead (with the lead!) into a fight, which was enough to spark his teammates to a come-from-behind win that eliminated the hated Flyers in Philly. The Flyers fans were belligerent, thinking they had the game in hand with a 3 goal lead and a fight win by Carcillo. Talbot knew differently. And after China Jack's entirely appropriate warning following the series win, the Penguins have seemingly worked to NOT display any air of arrogance.

But if Ovie is comfortable with taunting a crowd and team when he still has to play another game against them, then I guess that's his prerogative.

We'll see you in Washington. Go Pens.

Ovie is punk and never gets called for charging. He isn't half the player Sid is.
double standard

Way to miss the point.

Talbot did it in the clinching game. Ovie still has a game to play. Why taunt a team that you KNOW you have to play again?

So you think Talbot is the first player in the history of sports to ever go "Shhhhh"???
no

Never said that. Let me break this down for everyone that doesn't get it, I guess.

A player for my team famously shushed the crowd last series. It worked, sparking a comeback and eliminated our opponent. Ovie still has a game to play against the Pens, his shush has the chance to blow up in his face.

I'm a Penguins fan. We're approaching a Game 7, so anything Penguins-related trumps everything else on every other team in every other sport right now. I featured Talbot's shush on PSAMP before...this was my way keeping positive about my team and warning AO that there's a chance his taunt comes back to haunt him.
