In addition to us all getting old and not having a lot of new posters the Red Wings, Rangers, Devils and to a lesser extent Habs all having tough seasons kind of takes the wind out of the sails of our more active posting groups.

It’s still crazy to me that he doesn’t seem to be slowing down at all. He almost seems to be getting better somehow

He currently has the second-best GPG of his career.

At 34.

Mind you, GPG have been going up in the league.

They said something last night that this was the first time in his career he scored ten goals in a five game streak.

Definitely. Panarin is a one-man wrecking crew, DJ Zbad has grown into a legit 1C, Adam Fox is having a hell of a rookie season and now Shesterkin is owning bones. The only negatives this season are honestly The Lindy Ruff Defence Experience and Kakko’s uninspiring rookie campaign.

Welp, Ovi’s empty netter puts him now at 695 and sole possession of 8th on the list. Next up is Mike Gartner at 705 I think.

Sens fans cheered his name and gave him a standing ovation at the end of the game, that was cool of them.



Ovi just decided to give Pasta a bit of a head start on goal scoring and then was like "Psych!"

I think a lot of it has to do with the Caps having a legit team the last few years.

How many of those older Caps teams were top heavy

Oh yeah, these are all true.

Just watching the defense infuriates me. There is still potential to be good in the next couple of years but it's harder to watch

Ovechkin is still very good now but he had a 3 year run as the clear best player on the planet

I think he made a beautiful post and did a great job and he is good.
What I love seeing from Ovi lately is that he has been sniping on the rush. We haven't really seen that from him for years. This was a 3 on 1, granted, but still.

He's also got a decent number of ENGs this year, which helps. He has at least 5 this season by my count. One last night, two against Detroit to cap a hat trick in December, one to cap a hat trick against the Isles last month and I believe one against Dallas as well.

Habs sent Kotkaniemi to the AHL. He was alright in his rookie season. Why has he fallen off so hard this year?

There’s gotta be an unwritten team rule that if empty net opportunities arise, Ovi gets the shot if possible.

Pastrnak always gives the ENG away, even when it would be for a hat trick. Because he’s a better teammate than Ovechkin and also not a genocidal maniac’s best friend.

The impressive thing is that Vasilevskiy sucked last season. His numbers are good because of how dominant Tampa was, but with a good goalie that ridiculous season could have been even crazier.

Then lose in like 5.
