Post-Game Talk: Why would you name your team after politicians? Sens @ Caps 7:07PM

[Acallabeth]

So we finished 3rd last in 2004. If we hadn't won the lottery, we would have picked Cam Barker instead of Ovechkin and Pittsburgh would have Ovechkin...

Radulov would still be on board!

To bad that brute Mojo missed this game on suspension.

And to think I gave up my ticket to this game because I had to play goal in novice league.

Someone on the main board found a video clip of OV's parents explaining why they sit separately (59 second mark).

Ovi's dad has a good sense of humour, I really liked that joke at the end
I see where Ovi got his sense of humour from.

Not true. Caps had the 3rd worst record, so they would've picked either 3rd or 4th if they didn't win the lottery.

I stand corrected, I didn't know that's how the draft worked back then. If we didn't get Ovi, we would've kept tanking until we got a 1st overall. We may have had Kane or Stamkos as our franchise forward in this alternate universe. Hell, we may still have Semin as our top winger

Hi guys. Remeber Ovie - He is not just player he is special part of enjoy of last 10 years league hockey. Remeber this moment wich shows you nature of Natural man Ovie. Just watch IT!!!! He rose from the ice after the hit the other player and immediately hit another player to take energy. This guy will no longer produce, such was not and will not be. Living Legend

and another one down

RIP Burakovsky just as he was improving his play and getting points.

 

[Zoidberg Jesus]

That was without a doubt the greatest Caps moment I've been in attendance for. Watching the guys swarm off the bench... there's only one thing that could top that moment any time soon.

 

[Devil Dancer]

What a great night.

Bummer about Bura, I had no idea he got hurt until just now. Lick those wounds over the next few months boys, the true test will come in the spring.

 

[PucksInDeep]

It's a shame Vrana has been injured with all the injuries / suspensions to Caps forwards

Though with Johansson coming off suspension I guess we're set if Burakovsky needs to miss a game or two

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Another man down, crap.
We got MJ coming off his suspension to compensate for Bura's injury. We were pretty lucky with injuries last year and I hope we don't have to deal with the injuries in the playoffs.

Anyone knows when Carlson returns?

Recently back from VC.

That was way up there. It was ELECTRIC, like on a playoff GWG

 

[ViD]

Caps are on pace for 130 points, the best result since 95-96 Wings

Exactly. Just an incredible atmosphere. Makes me wonder what the celebration will be like when he gets to 600!

Csn feed said that too. Hope it's true, one step closer

 

[AtNightWeFly]

I have a massive headache and my damn throat hurts but once again it was worth it.

 

[NobodyBeatsTheWiz]

Disappointed I had to miss the milestone, but go Ovie. I promise, I'll be there for #800.

 

[Ridley Simon]

Congrats to OV. Well deserved.

We are truly blessed to have him on our favorite team.

And getting 500 on the PP, from his favorite spot no less. Who called that the other day?

Ahem

 

[MaximusT]

With Bura out I'd love to see Galiev continue getting looks with Kuzy and Williams. They combined for some nice plays there in the 3rd

well good news is caps next game thursday so theres time for rest and recovery

 

[Backstrom #19]

What he's doing in this day of age is absolutely unreal.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

With his 2 goals tonight, Ovi is on pace for 51 goals now. Needs 24 in 40 games, that's feasible.
