It's becoming evident Ovechkin will not pass Gretzky. So close but so far....
He totally got screwed by two lockouts and COVID.

He needs 53 goals as of today. 2 more years left in his contract. He probably finishes with 23 goals this season. So 48 goals in 2 seasons. I think he’ll get there.

He could float around on one year contracts for a few years like Thornton and Jagr did and put up a few 5-15 goal seasons as a PP specialist. You’d think some younger teams would appreciate his veteran presence.

Going to the game with a friend from out of town.
Hope the boys bounce back from the Avs game.

So how will this game go?
Winnipeg, Colorado hit repeat.
Massive domination the first part of the game. Defence will pinch like crazy. Two man forecheck, (left/right side lock). Keep the puck away from Washington. Keep the momentum.
Players will carry the puck, keep possession and tilt the ice. Likely get a lead then STOP playing that way and try to shut down the rest of the game.
THEN
They will start dumping the puck out. Stop the hard forecheck. Single deep forechecker. Which will allow the Caps more possession that will result in Canucks sticks being put on Capitol players as they skate by giving the ref's something that they could call. Just because the Nux dumped the puck instead of a little bit of possession and change their team game to being safe.
If the play of the game does go this way then it does indicate that this is systemic, a system thing, a coach thing.
And every other team will know this as well so they can "plan" for it, rest and hold back some in the beginning then turn it on once the Canucks decide to "protect the lead" because that's what they have to do to win playoff games.
DeSmith needs more ice time, I didn't realize how small he looks/is. He may be the smallest goalie in the league.
Canucks should win. Myers will play.
The Canucks are in the playoffs

Then the great one should come out of retirement and stand at centre ice when the other team pulls the goalie. Imagine the excitement! Love the record chase!!
I lied. I hate record chasing. It always ends up skewing the actual games.
Gretzky still had 62 points in 70 games played (only 9 goals though). He probably could have skated around for another season or two to juice his stats (i.e. 900 goals, 2000 assists, maybe 3000 points) if he wanted to.
need the powerplay clicking. petey needs to show up and not be a ghost from time to time. pods is due for a goal.

Out of their last 9 periods on the ice, the Canucks have played a smart game in 8 of them...Its all in the details..You don't concede buzzer beaters, and gift the opposition a window to re-enter the game.
For the rest of the season I don't care if they win or lose, I just want no injuries. That hit on Miller was frightening.

Its a f***in travesty he is allowed to play and gets almost no shit from the NA media.

Not like they would have scored power play looked awful again.
