Andrei Vasilevskiy: Ovechkin's shot is radio-controlled

[Ovie's Neighbor]

The first one tonight was a good example. Lundqvist looked so confused.

 

[Spender]

Nhl needs to investigate these radio controlled pucks. Big scandal if true!

 

[Sam Spade]

Young me could have told you that. Watch him when he came in to the league and he most commonly used D as dummies and shot through their legs. The puck would elevate from a standstill and goalies didn't even react.

The greatest example was his playoff hat trick against the Pens in 2009. On the 3rd goal he shot threw Conchar's legs and the puck rose three feet to beat MAF.

typical cheating russians...

Like other posters have said, the curve on his blade and his release makes the puck wobble more than usual.

It’s his ability to get open and get shots off that takes him to another level. Very Brett Hull like.

Two "ballistic" pucks for Lundquist, favorite goalkeeper.

Vasi resembles Kuznetsov a little bit in that pic with the cat.

Let's try radio jamming Ovechkin's stick. I've seen it done before....once.....sometimes it has maximum effect!

Re-watching this and I feel so bad for #38, dude left his heart on the ice there.

Stick lift into poke into diving sprawl. Wow.

He reminds me of Ronaldo

just scores goalasos

That's not a fair comparison. I have Never seen Ovie roll around the ice for like twenty minutes holding his ankle.

 

[Broad Street Buddies]

That's not a fair comparison. I have Never seen Ovie roll around the ice for like twenty minutes holding his ankle.

That’s only because soccer is a lot more physical than hockey.

Pardon the potato, but...

Part of me is mad he won the cup last year because it gives him less of a reason to stay in the NHL until he's 40+.

He could EASILY beat Gretzky's goal scoring record if he plays to 40, so I really hope he does.

He could but "easily" is the wrong word here.
