Ovi goals, plural. More the merrier.My wish list for this game:
- Ovechkin goal
- 0 points
- Something to complain
I, for one, welcome our new Red Tank overlords!
Honestly, I don't even know anymore.LOL 'happy' and 'critical game'. Already waiving the creative corporate flag...but to be expected.
Ovi goal(s) and a solid L please.
Does anyone want us to win anymore games? Serious question. What would be gained from winning?
Lose now to win later.Honestly, I don't even know anymore.
Woo-Hoo!! That'd be another 50-goal season!!I went to the last game in Tampa and tried "watching" hockey for the first time ever. Nowhere near as fun as watching the stat feed.
So I'm staying home tonight and having a blackberry hydromel or two while hoping for an 10-9 regulation loss with Ovie securing the Ovechtrick.
I’ve had enough practice rooting for the Commies and Wiz to lose that while at first rooting for the Caps to lose was really tough, I relied on years and years of training to break through.I always root for us to win. Especially since we really aren’t in the actual running, as far as I understand it anyway, for Bedard, Fantilli, Michkov. Yes, it’s supposedly a strong draft year, but purposely tanking to improve — marginally — your draft spot? It just seems dumb. Especially when i look at how imperfect the process of drafting is overall. Some absolute gems are picked in later rounds or are not drafted at all. And plenty who are picked in first or second round turn out not to be NHL quality. To me, the front office should concentrate on drafting better and smarter. And on the ice, with whatever personnel are available that night, try to f******* win. As a Caps fan from their very first season on, i just can’t root for them to lose, ever. It’s too deep a habit
Just wanted to add an example of MTL. This team is already decades at rebuilding but instead of tanking they always stayed average. To get good players you really need to be at the bottom for 2-3+ years, tanking to get 10-15 spot in drafting brings you almost nothing but losing culture in locker room.I always root for us to win.

I believe it's much healthier for the players to retain some shred of dignity and self respect despite it being a difficult year. Athletes play best when they're confident and focused, and that's how I want them to return next year. I don't want them to spend all summer dreading next year because all they do anymore is lose.LOL 'happy' and 'critical game'. Already waiving the creative corporate flag...but to be expected.

Do you think this team who are cup winners and made the playoffs for the last decade will have a losing culture after a bad stretch to end 2023?Just wanted to add an example of MTL.

75% of this team are not cup winners.Do you think this team who are cup winners and made the playoffs for the last decade will have a losing culture after a bad stretch to end 2023?
