Ovy won't back to Russia. He doesn't play well on a big ice rinks. Also, passing vacations in Russia and work there two completely different things.

I don't get it. Am I wrong? Didn't want to offend.Lol?
Russian hackers are scary?!
One way or another 40 year old Ovi in KHL sounds suspect. He's already at god status here. Doesnt need to step on the ice.
You really think Ovy doesn't go home before 40 to finish out his career there? If he stays, he's chasing that goal record for sure....fingers crossed, but I wouldn't bet on him doing that today.
Ovi had his kid in Florida. I think he likes in in your country.
True but it's mostly south Florida, Miami in particular. There's a decent sized one in Orlando as well.Big Russian community in Florida

Yes, Miami ish. This is where Sergei was born. IIRC Kozy has a place there and has for a long time. Feds maybe too. Russian winter or Miami?? Not a hard choice
Back to the topic of Tom Wilson: I feel like he's been around the net even more since he came back. Always thought it would be good to have him play similar to Knuble. He can score on the rush with his skating but even going back a few seasons I noticed his ability to deflect pucks was above average. He was especially good during the cup run.
He's also been runner over goalies more than before but has done a good job of minimizing the impact.
And it will be glorious. Speaking of, kinda surprised there wasn't a thread about him from the Rangers game. He did have the audacity to knock a couple guys down and score a goal from the turnovers it created. Someone somewhere must've been butthurt about it.If TW could land PP1 minutes where Oshie has been, TW can make that jump into 60+ pt range and the main boards will simply melt down.
Yes and yes. I see him playing til 40. I see him chasing the goal scoring record. I see him chasing more championships. For me the difference in this season Ov compared to previous Ov is significant.

With respect to Wilson’s ascension and his contract, I’ve just been reading up on the Pygmalion Effect, and I couldn’t help but think of good ole Tom.
Essentially, it’s a phenomenon where people’s expectations of a person’s performance can influence said performance.
With a younger guy like Wilson do you think the love fest within the locker room and the subsequent high dollar contract from management have raised his ability to meet loftier expectations? You can almost feel the team and org spurring him on to higher achievement.
Obviously, it doesn’t always turn out that way but in this case I almost feel a tangible enhancement in Tom’s game because the people close to him believe in him.
Probably a little long winded and kooky but, hey, it’s food for thought...
(This post would have been better if I simply posted the damn diagram and didn’t explain it , but I swear my phone won’t let me do it haha.)
Im personally still waiting for @Bananas diagram
Wilson is a distraction every time he's on the ice. Having him on the PP might cause the PKers to forget about Ovie for a split second here and there. That's something the PP can take advantage of.
