Will Ovechkin ever score a goal in his life ever again? Probably not.

izzy says now copley is starting

 

[Coldplay619]

Oshie goes out with an injury, Ovi goes on a tear.

Oshie comes back, Ovi goes cold.

That line is so sloooooow.

 

[Silky mitts]

When I’ve clicked on hockey tweets the last 6 months they’ve generally been about one of these 2 teams

 

[895]

Lajoie-Ceci
Harpur-DeMelo
Boroweicki-Jaros

Is apparently the defense Ottawa is icing tonight. I only recognize 2 of those names and I recognize them because Ottawa fans have been complaining about how much they suck.

Tonight is the night for Ovechkin to end his cold streak.

 

[Corby78]

If that bottom pair holds their own we’re in good shape

Interesting that Copley is starting. Not back-to-back situation and Holtby already rested the second to last game.

I think Holtby might've picked up a niggle in practise since he was in the starter's net at the start.

 

[Dr John Carlson]

In desperate-er need of more Ovechkin goals.

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

4-1 Caps

Ovechkin x2, Wilson, Bowey

He did shut the sens out last week

Ovechkin has 7 goals in 7 games since Oshie came back. Just saying.

Brrrr ice cold!

Brrrr ice cold!

Don't you just hate it when these pesky facts get in the way of a good narrative?

I'd like to see them switch Oshie and Wilson.

I'd like to see them switch Oshie and Wilson.

Kuzy is playing really well now. Id like to see 8-92-43

Unless one of the top 6 lines really clicks I'd love to see them rotate players between the top two lines to keep defenses guessing.

No no no

 

[DrewGl]

No no no

I mean isn't this what coaches do until a line clicks? I don't like the "just stick with it until it works" approach.

You think Kuzy is playing well? I think he has been a bit up and down. Hasn't looked good on the pp.

 

[hockeykicker]

The sens goalie is making his nhl debut tonight

 

[Corby78]

Sometimes in my beer league we just slide down the bench and then end guy just takes the next guy off the ice. Maybe I should call Todd and fill him in on the details.....

Who has?

 

[Devil Dancer]

That Sens GDT is a dark place.

 

[maacoshark]

Who has?

True the pp has sucked.
