Meet in the finals?
After 10 years of being the laughing stock, my body isn't ready for that "outhouse to penthouse" type success of reaching a SCF, especially against the Caps.
Good luck in the playoffs, sincerely!
That was a really nice pass by 22 on the Ovie goal. I mean, he made it look easy. But that's not an easy pass
Ovi reminds me Malkin these days in the sence he is too damn inconsistent. When he plays like tonight, he is the best player in the world bar none. No Crosby, Malkin, McDavid or whoever else can touch him. Some nights though he seems he doesn't give a crap anymore... Hopefully tonight's game translates into his last 10 & than most importantly in play-offs!!!
Even when he plays like tonight he's not the best in the world. The stretches in which he looks like the best player in the world date back to at least a year ago, when he would have 25 goals in 30 games.
Ovi is due for a few goals. His sh% can't stay that low forever
I disagree. The thing that elevates Malkin and Ovechkin over Crosby and McDavid in my mind is when they're on their game, they're not just offensive juggernauts. They're just dominating people with physical play and Ovi was doing that tonight. Off-kilter Ovi can score or he can hit, when he's doing both there's no one on the planet that can touch him imo.
Missed the game and watching it now, man, Burakvsky and Kuznetsov are flying out there. The whole team is flying, i'm on the 2nd priod 2nd goal now
Shattenkirk goal has been changed from shattenkirk to backstrom
It is impressive how video replay of the Nick goal relies on the speed of the puck slightly increasing, and not requiring evidence of contact with the stick. I assume the puck is too heavy to not have been blown just a smidgen faster from the air of the visually apparent whiff.
