Post-Game Talk: A hockey game will be played tonight vs the Sharks

[Fondue]

A little bit of retro-Ovie there.

 

[tycoonheart]

Ovi legit looks 19 this season. Only fun thing to watch so far this year.

It was a nice move by Ovi

Not the only fun thing to watch. My man Kuzy puts on a show every night

 

[Ovechclutch]

so many odd man rushes against YIKES

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

The Sharks play the same counter-attacking style as us, they're just more solid defensively, hence the odd man rushes.

 

[twabby]

A goal against the Sharks at home!

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

4th line gets us on the board!

 

[ovikovy817]

I like that 4th line. Chiasson makes very good D plays invisible plays and DSP scores

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

BAM what!? DSP that’s what!

Great to see Ovechkin regain some of his stickhandling and explosiveness this season. With that said, you now know he could’ve played like this the last few seasons if he would’ve focused on his fitness.

Very frustrating to know and accept that fact...

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Excellent backcheck by Ovi on Ward.

 

[ovikovy817]

Dominant shift by the first line

 

[Ovechclutch]

Backstrom battled like a viking in the corners there

His saucer pass to Wilson was perfection.

I don't think its fitness. That game in Toronto flipped his switch, not only is he skating harder and faster but he's also more engaged and is handling the puck way better. I think it's an effort thing.

Do you guys realize that the guy he beat on that move was a forward. Burns got caught in the offensive zone. I doubt Ovi would have beat Burns with that move.

He looks more energetic than at any point in the past 2 years. The coaching staff said that he came to camp in better shape, I think it's paying dividends now.

His effort has definitely been better. He even made a nice play on a back check in this game

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Rolling puck, if it was flat on the ice, Wilson makes it 2-0.

 

[Sam Spade]

I know DSP scored but man that 4th line is horrible right now.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Atta boy Ovi, nice D

 

[twabby]

Ovie!

 

[g00n]

oh baby, vintage Ovie

was the guy he beat good enough lol
