Vegas is such a hard working team. They just keep coming at you.

If you mean literally, he already has a lot. But that laser shot of his may remain a force forever.

He already floats around but can (and has always) been able to shoot from anywhere. Just needs a Kuznetsov or Backstrom. I could see him getting 20 a year well into his forties from the power play alone.

This is some quality shade throwing here.

Why do d-men push opponents into their goalie when traveling at high speed. :huh:

I don't think Ovie liked the shade - he just "floated" in and scored his 2nd of the game
Didn’t say he floats 100% of the time.... but he doesn’t skate as hard as often as in the past... there’s a reason Tom Wilson is on his line, and that he doesn’t score a ton of individual efforts as he used to.

I’m an Ovechkin fan, and it’s still working for him so I don’t really care. But there is a noticeable difference in his skating between now and 5 years ago, and 10 years ago.

Kuznetsov made that look easy.

Four point night. Seven points in three games.

This is why you can't get super hyped early about big numbers. Teams are settling in and systems are being gotten used to at game speed. Of course the cream will rise to the top but everything levels off.

He has literally become a slower player even at his full speed. He just looks very heavy. He’s not exactly tough along the boards consistently either.

Not an insult, just an observation

he's my fav all time and this is pretty obvious, however the most impressive part is that even with all that considered, he still scores at ridiculous paces

Wow. Watching Kuznetsov play is just such a treat. Does everything right.
