Ha sick celly from Oveckin

 

[AtNightWeFly]

That was bullshit that the first Ovie goal didn't count. I would say the same if it were a Sens player.

 

[Sam Spade]

I have a couple boxes and haven’t opened them. lol

I have three unopened boxes. Goal is to get Ovie to sign one of them.

 

[tenken00]

Tjjjj osh take me homeee

 

[Sam Spade]

That was bull**** that the first Ovie goal didn't count. I would say the same if it were a Sens player.

Really close but I can see why it was no goal:

 

[StrikingDistance]

Mixed feelings on Oshie scoring goals at home with that goal song.

 

[tenken00]

Lars!!! Wow wtf pass Siegenthaler that was pretty

 

[twabby]

This game is fun

 

[TRASHCAT]

This game is fun

especially if you skipped the first period

 

[AtNightWeFly]

This game is fun

You couldn't tell from the 1st period.

 

[Susannah]

This has turned into a laughter even after the first period.

 

[Sam Spade]

Did people think this would be a close game?

 

[Carlzner]

Country roads is a great goal song and it’ll be even better in the playoffs

 

[ALLCAPSALLTHETIME]

The Sens usually play the Caps tough. That being said, I think they want a new Le Friend.

That song sucks but maybe his dad is a big John Denver fan or something. If it's because TJ likes the song then he needs to get better taste in music

Maybe if you're Helen Keller.

Origin:

In late October, the Washington Capitals were having a team dinner in Vancouver when someone got ahold of the auxiliary cord. The group started blaring various music into their private backroom, and soon T.J. Oshie was given the reins.

He dialed up a surefire singalong song and watched as his teammates started to belt out the words:
“Country roads, take me home/To the place I belong/West Virginia, mountain mama/Take me home, country roads.”
There in the midst of the team’s successful five-game, 10-day road trip, Oshie’s individual goal song was born: “Take Me Home, Country Roads,” by John Denver. It was played after Oshie’s tying goal Monday night in the Capitals’ eventual 4-3 shootout loss to Arizona, and fans quickly took notice and sung along — exactly how Oshie planned it.

“There’s different ways to pick a goal song,” Oshie said. It is either “something that is important to you and gets you going or gets the crowd going, so I figured the best part of playing in front of our fans is them getting involved, and I figured everyone, or at least most everyone, knows at least the chorus of ‘Country Roads.’ ”

Maybe if you're Helen Keller.

I hope you hear that song another 35 times this season.

On another note Tampa has gotten hot since we beat them last. Have 7 on Vancouver

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Samsonov should be in the Calder discussion. Kid has been as advertised and more.

 

[AtNightWeFly]

Should be a hat trick.

 

[Susannah]

Samsonov should be in the Calder discussion. Kid has been as advertised and more.

I agree. He has been really good as a "back up" ..... for now.

 

[ALLCAPSALLTHETIME]

Yay Ovie!

 

[twabby]

You know the game is good when the GDT is 4 pages long at the end of the game

 

[StrikingDistance]

I hope you hear that song another 35 times this season.

You're a madman. lol I hope all of Oshie's goals are at away games.

ps I know why he chose the song, but there are infinitely better, popular, and more appropriate songs.

For example: Chuck Brown 'Bustin Loose'

Ooof...he almost scored again. haha
