Ovie has a really magical ability to make defenses think he's someone else's problem.

I've seen teams try the follow Ovie at all costs strats and it doesn't work that well, it leaves way too much space for Backstrom and Green.

I will never loving understand how people can possibly leave Ovie open on EVERY SINGLE GOD DAMNED PP. Just roll 3on4 on the left and have someone stand in front of Ovie, you are dealing with the exact same ratio, and you dont get loving burned when they literally do the exact same loving thing every time. EVERY time.

Christ.

I know this gets said a lot, but the Caps whole PP revolves around creating those opportunities to get Ovi into said position to shoot. And they are really good at it. Tampa does the same thing with Stamkos.

it's almost like they're thinking "we'll just take away the pass" and then they forget he's there after a few seconds and send 3 guys at mike green.

Pretty much. I watched the Jackets try to stop the pass on Ovie when he was out there for 2/3rds of a Washington PP, and it came down to guys floating back to the slot, pass to Ovie OH gently caress WHY DOES HE HAVE THE PUCK, then throwing themselves into the way of his shot. And then repeat that for another minute and change.


I can just imagine coaches going "HOW DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING"

I think both of these have the same kind of idea, try to give Ovie an open shooting opportunity over and over, but I'd say you should burn a defender guarding the guy who scores all of the goals over there, versus someone that could have a good shot.

If Ovie is marked man to man, Backstrom, Green and Johansen will cycle the puck until your goalie is dizzy and then put it in the upper corner from the point. You're generally better off just checking the poo poo out of everyone and clearing quickly

Don't worry, it pretty much is against the Coyotes. They're something like 0-21-2 when trailing after 2 periods this season.

We are a bad team.

Shattenkirk out hurt and now I think Backes got his dumb rear end tossed for boarding.
