Player Discussion Alexander Ovechkin (Vol. 3)

[CapitalsCupReality]

God I hope so. My anxiety is through the roof the closer we get to the summer.

don’t sweat it.

I don't even understand why fans (and Caps fans) are anxious about this.

Ovi will stay in DC. That's all you need to know. He'll sign officially after the ED.

Caps and Ovi can't announce it publicly right now.

So of course media will fantasize about Ovi in another jersey just because they need to sell their s***ty papers/clickbaits sites/ and so on.

 

[txpd]

Generally content of their s***ty papers/clickbaits sites and so on isnt produced or effective without the knowledge that there is interest.

Of course there's interest... from the teams. Plus also, media is increasingly about speculation. At least in my work that's what I'm seeing. On the other hand, Ovi has shown himself to be true to his public statements. There's no reason to doubt him now.

 

[kicksavedave]

I got 99 problems but Ovi not signing here or signing for too much money to allow us to keep Dillon, ain't one.

I can both believe Ov and be relaxed on the subject and tell you that a media circus is still coming.

Oh for sure it is. Just noting that that doesn't mean that Ovie is a party to it.

I would say his hands are tied.

 

[Capitals40]

all i care is if win another cup..not sure re-signing ovie will give us our best chance to do this

the media has a job....but this is a transparent bologna shit storm brewing just to get clicks.

 

[Ridley Simon]

I’m not sure they wait for ED or not. Just so they can protect Sheary or Dowd?

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Why not protect your nuts if you can?

 

[Evgeny Oliker]

Any news on Ovechkin injury? Is it even an injury?

Any news on Ovechkin injury? Is it even an injury?

He was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead, until he was transferred to a better hospital where doctors upgraded his condition to "alive".

Turns out he was only just "mostly dead", which is actually partly alive.

[YippieKaey]

Any news on when Ovi will be back?

 

[txpd]

Any news on when Ovi will be back?

This is the NHL. They have told us nothing. We know nothing.

 

[YippieKaey]

Yeah true. Better not be long-term

 

[kicksavedave]

Yeah true. Better not be long-term

Lavi has said he doesn't think it will be long term or that he'll miss any playoffs, but have to think they will be extra precautious with him to ensure that. Not like he was winning a Rocket this year, no need to rush back.

 

[andrjusha]

OV was cleared to trampoline training with light weights!

Alex Ovechkin has a trampoline at his house

 

[Evgeny Oliker]

I read that Caps wanted to try to sign Ovy in April. What happened with that?

do the caps just plan to wait until after expansion draft to sign him?
