The Outer Limits.
The sights are out on our sniper’s rifle. Needs a hat trick in the next game to really make this interesting.

Maybe the media should ask Laine about his play. He’s usually pretty tough on himself and when he calls himself out he turns it up on the ice.

Our schedule is significantly easier for the next few games. Nothing is a cakewalk, but Nashville, Anaheim, Boston etc are much different than chicago, calgary, montreal etc....

Never know.....

At the beginning of the season I put $100 on Ovie to win the The Rocket in a local hockey pool. I would give that up in a second for Laine to win...

With only 5-6 games remaining it's a 3 way race. Laine needs to score a couple in the next few games to keep pace with Ovie. With a 4 game long goalless and pointless streak, Laine is due to get back on the score sheet soon.

If he keeps playing the way he has, very probable. It's not like he had played badly or hasn't got chances, he's just been missing them more than he usually does. I think potting one might be the thing that puts him back on track. He has looked like being a bit snakebitten the past few games.

Laine and Ovi both seem to be on mini slumps - here's hoping Laine ends his first before it's too late :yo:

Is McDavid going to come from behind and steal the Rocket?
No, he is 4 goals behind Ovechkin who has 1 more game left than him. And since McDavid has only 4 games remaining, even if he scored goal per game he would still only tie Ovi, considering Ovi doesn't score a single goal for the rest of the season. What are the odds for that to happen? Very slim

Ten days ago he was ten goals behind
