Ovechkin Wins Eighth Career Rocket Richard Trophy

[illpucks]

It won't be shame for Ovy to lose RR at this age. Still, I hope he can do it.

The thing is he doesn't seem that hungry to win right now.

 

[jeffff]

47 for Leon

 

[Nsjohnson]

I think Ovie is destined to score in against the Panthers and the Canadiens, so I think he still hits 50. Drai is seriously on his heels. They still have a lot of hockey to play tonight, he could score again.

 

[Pass the Saitl Sauce]

I almost hope draisaitl and ovechkin tie and have to share the trophy lol

 

[Varan]

DRAI IS COMING FOR YOUR NECK OV GET UR SHIT TOGETHER

 

[talitintti]

I almost hope draisaitl and ovechkin tie and have to share the trophy lol

At this point its more likely that it's tied than that someone outright beats Ovechkin,

Draisaitl riding that ~22 S%, going to be a close finish.

I would love to see Draisaitl win it. And that's an understatement..

But it would feel so wrong for Ovi not to get it. So wrong.

I'm pulling for Ovi here, guys been one of my favourite players since he entered the league. Hopefully Drai is only like 1 behind though... Lol

 

[Demandedace]

Drai's shooting percentage is insane

 

[DitchMarner]

I would like to see Ovechkin get it for an eighth time. That would be impressive. It'll be kind of disappointing if he doesn't win considering the cushion he had late in the season...

But I'd be fine with Tavares sharing the award with him...

I'm cheering for Draisaitl to score 50. If that gets him the Rocket, great, if not, I'm happy Ovechkin will be adding to his legacy.

Or they could just share it...

That would be pretty cool lol

OV has had his spot in the sunlight, time for a fresh face..Dr.Drai is coming for you Great 8.

While it is amazing what he's doing, his shooting percentage is a bit like Wild Bill's from last season lol (though not quite as extreme)

 

[Pyrophorus]

I'm alright with JT just hitting 50

Maybe JT can do it.

Drai's shooting percentage is insane

Nearly identical with Brayden Point.
His one timer this year is lethal. You can tell he really worked on it. Draisiatl isnt a high volume shooter, he picks his shots and gets himself into open positions all the time.
I agree though~22% is high, wont be sustained next season. But I dont think 18-19% is out of the question for him. He had 16.9% 2 seasons ago.

 

[A91]

Maybe JT can do it.

Going to be an exciting finish all 3 have a legit shot.

 

[AD1066]

Three-way tie seem fair? Everyone in agreement?

 

[780il]

Three-way tie seem fair? Everyone in agreement?

As long as all 3 hit 50 goals... That'd be great lol

The HF shitstorm would be real lol -
"Draisaitl leeched his way to 50"
"Tavares snaked his way to 50 tap ins"
"Ovi... Well he's Ovi, ain't no stopping him"

"Tavares snaked his way to 50 tap ins"
"Ovechkin Ovi'd his way to 50"

Watch everyone tie at 49 now lol

 

[illpucks]

It's really embarrassing for Ovechkin for Draisaitl to be within 2 goals of him. It's like when Rookie ovie hit 51 and Cheechoo hit 56.

It's really embarrassing for him to be this bad and not close out Tavares and Draisaitl.

No Ovi is wetting the bed. Caps got the Canes to stop the storm surge, win 3-2 and Ovi in a 3-2 win is -2 and 0-0-0 in 22 minutes of icetime.

The guy is arguably the greatest goal scorer of all time...

It isn't embarassing at all to be winning by only 2 goals at the age of thirty freakin three while having won the trophy the last 8 seasons in a row.

And it's not like he's losing, or some complete scrubs are up there with him, Draisaitl and Tavares are among some of the best players in the league lol

Very true and well said. And thank you for reminding me i needed to put that person on ignore (months ago).
