Player Discussion Alexander Ovechkin (Vol. 3)

[txpd]

Same stick marks that we have seen already on tv. That is the top hand on his stick and the one players behind him can reach. It is not the snap on his wrist or the shock absorber when he hits behind the puck for the stick whip on the one timer. Ov had 9 shots on goal the other night. He is fine

What? No love for Bugsy Watson?

Yeah. Politics comes from the Greek Poly meaning "many" and tics meaning "blood sucking insects. "

So what I've learned from that picture is either Ovie is now like 6'5", or DJT's height has been....exaggerated.

 

[ALLCAPSALLTHETIME]

2 goals from Ovie against the Sens. Looks like his wrist is healing.

Now has 684 career goals tying Teemu for 11th all time. 210 behind Wayne.

Also, now 201 goals ahead of Fedorov.

Ovi has little realistic chance at catching Gretzky in multi-goal games (189), but he definitely has a decent shot at that record for doing it with 1 franchise

[ALLCAPSALLTHETIME]

Congrats to Ovie on his 109th career GWG, tying Shanahan for 6th all time. He also ties Shanahan for the most ever GWGs by a LW.

Ovie's next GWG will tie him with Brett Hull and Selanne for 4th all time.

Ovie also ties Gary Suter for 31st all time in Powerplay points with 478.

Hey guys I made a peak ovi montage if you'd like to check it out.

How good of a player are you when you score 51, 53, 50, 49, and 51 goals AND win SIX Richards and it is NOT considered part of your “peak”?

Not a criticism, just noting the insane standards people have for Ovechkin.

His level of play during that time was unprecedented, and I'm not sure any player will ever match that intensity. It's really impressive how he has adapted his game and continued to play at an all-time great level despite his mileage.

For sure and I agree 100%. I just hate that people, even some here, consider 2012 to 2019, his decline or "down" years.

Ovechkin is a top five player in the NHL and if people don't understand that they don't understand what the absolute hardest part of the playing in the NHL is. And he is/was the undisputed best player at that for 14 plus seasons.

Hint: It's not being able to hold the puck against the boards for four seconds or making a pass across to a dman who passes again to someone who scores the goal.
