Ovie absolutely is a decoy on the power play, are you kidding me? Teams dedicate a man to him which leaves the rest with a 4 on 3This is blatantly wrong and defies reason. Ovechkin is leading all Caps in PP goals and shots.

Pp phantom assists from Kuznetsov by avoiding Ovechkin. Not impressive. Not much Es tonight5 point lead for 92.
But 2 goal lead for Ovi.
Depends who finishes better...remember voting is done in 2nd intermission and most of the guys decide who they want long before.
Lol people still salty over Crosby getting two deserved smythesKuznetsov deserves it but Crosby has won Conn Smythe’s he didn’t deserve. Ovi could win for sure.
Do you even watch the games? He literally gets the puck maybe once or twice each PP. Most of the time, it ends in the back of the net. He creates so much room for everyone when he's on the ice and never gets assists for it.Why then are they always passing to the decoy?

Not any that I or anyone who actually watched those playoffs can recall.Kuznetsov deserves it but Crosby has won Conn Smythe’s he didn’t deserve. Ovi could win for sure.
Yeah except 2016. They gave it to Crosby because Malkin had a legendary run in 2009 and they had to give it to him, which prevented Crosby from getting it. So because the NHL wasn't sure Crosby would win another cup before he retired, he was given a lifetime achievement Smythe. That's about it.Not any that I or anyone who actually watched those playoffs can recall.
If Kuznetsov wins the Conn Smythe, it will be because he deserved it the same as every other winner.
They had a 5-2 lead. Why wasn't he the triggerman on the 5 on 3? They were avoiding himTo call Ovechkin a decoy suggests that Washington has no intention of giving him the puck. That his presence on the ice is solely to draw coverage and attention.
As soon as the opponent slips up and leaves that passing lane to 8 open, it's going to the back of the net at 100 mph.
Calling Ovechkin a decoy is idiotic.

I didn't call him a decoy. Teams design their PK to defend Ovechkin and leave others open in the process. When Ovechkin and Carlson switch on the PP, that's done to open up the middle of the ice for Oshie and Carlson so yes, Ovechkin is essentially a decoy in that situation and the Caps capitalized multiple times off of that play.To call Ovechkin a decoy suggests that Washington has no intention of giving him the puck.

Crosby played well in 2016 but the reason why people say it he didn't deserve it is because for Sidney Crosby his stats were quite lackluster. Crosby at his best is playing like he did this year in the playoffs 21 points before round 3 starts. That's what people expect from him.Lol I don’t mind Crosby, I don’t care that he won
