Post-Game Talk: Capitals @ Maple leafs HNIC 7pm

[Corby78]

tough day with my wolverines again coming up short vs ohio. I need a win so I don't go to bed depressed.

 

[ovikovy817]

Smart play by 83 on the PK.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Connolly isn't small either. He plays small though

He is so soft, he makes Semin look tough.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Brilliant individual effort from Ovi, wow!

 

[ovikovy817]

What a séquence for Ovi. The catch the move the shot

 

[Capsman]

Holy $&””, OV forgot what year it is.

 

[Dr John Carlson]

I genuinely thought Ovechkin didn't have the ability to score goals like that anymore.

 

[maacoshark]

He is so soft, he makes Semin look tough.

I dunno. Did you ever see that fight Semin was involved in?

My comment wasn't meant to be taken literally, it was kind of a joke

 

[Ovechclutch]

I think ovi's decline isn't anywhere near what its made out to be, to me it's mostly effort related

 

[Holtbyisms]

Hell of a goal by ovi.

Hey is it just me or is Marner the worst cherry picker ever? I swear every time I hear his name it's somebody trying to spring him behind the D cause he's standing at the opposite blue line when the play is in his own zone.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

I think ovi's decline isn't anywhere near what its made out to be, to me it's mostly effort related

I think Ovi realized that he had to work harder to maintain a high level at the age of 32. Pure skill doesn't cut it at his age.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Reeeeeunited and it feeels sooo gooooooooood!!

 

[maacoshark]

My comment wasn't meant to be taken literally, it was kind of a joke

Ya I know. it made me think of the Semin fight and now I can't stop laughing

 

[maacoshark]

Reeeeeunited and it feeels sooo gooooooooood!!

Ya reuniting Backstrom and Ovi has helped this team a lot. In the defensive zone as well

 

[ovikovy817]

Oh my Captain

 

[g00n]

bit of a softie but we'll take it. I'm sure the leafs board is probably going nuts

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Ovi 2 - Leafs 0

Just like that, Ovi leads the league in goals again. Death, taxes, and Ovechkin being in the lead for the Rocket.

 

[Corby78]

The captain is stepping up, good to see. We needed somebody to do that while we were floundering.

 

[Holtbyisms]

The velocity on that shot, while off balance and falling to one knee...insane. Ovi showed up on a mission tonight.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Roaring back!

 

[Khomutov]

Two periods for a hattrick

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Trade him while his value is high. Right?

 

[Corby78]

watching the replay of the first goal, pure vintage Ovie. Knocking the puck out of air on the break, deaking the first defender, then the little juke to mess with the second defender and goalie. Not being too cute, just pure bull rush up the ice blasting one. Hope to see that come playoff time.

I just knew he would score when he deked past Komarov. The little toe drag inside out and the release fooled Rielly and McBackup.
