Ovechkin is now at 730 career goals, one back of Dionne for #5 all time goals

While I don't agree per se, he is certainly the most dominant Rangers forward since Jagr.

I hope when it’s all said and done, some crazy person combs through all the footage and determines what percent of his goals are that exact same goal

It’s been said over and over again but it’s amazing that literally everyone on the ice knows what is going to happen and they’re completely powerless to stop it.

Most teams cheat somebody over to him. The Flyers just didn’t care cause they’ve clearly given up on the coach and season. Hell they probably wanna see him chase Gretzky too.

Are they gonna plop a big 8 in the middle of the ice when he retires, like they did with Gretzky's office?

I figure they retire his number before his last game and have 8's instead of faceoff dots minus center ice. Eight 8's

I'm still blown away that Ovie has done that same goal 400 or so times and yet he's still left all alone there every single time. You'd think defenders would learn to cover him by now.

I'm sure coaches do chant DON'T LET OVI SHOOT in the locker room but you can't fixate on one player, glue a winger to Ovechkin and someone else is gonna get open and have a nice shot. Especially on the PK. Plus he has an epic shot. Even if you do cover him he's gonna drill it into the net.

I imagine every coach yelling “Noooooo!” when Ovie is about to sock a dinger like Wolf Stansson yells when Keenan is lining up a knucklepuck.

Devils 9 out of 10 and 3 in a row vs the Rangers. They are probably worse than the Sabres.

You'd think defenders would learn to cover him by now. Everyone hated Oates as a coach in Washington (and rightfully so) but one good thing he did was implement the 1-3-1 powerplay that the Caps still use to this day. If you were to go back and look at a highlight reel of Ovi's goals, he didn't actually start blasting away from The Ovi Spot until around 2012-13. I mean, he did sometimes, but it didn't become as strongly associated with him until then. Also if you have a guy dedicated to Ovechkin on the powerplay that just means Backstrom/Kuznetsov/Oshie/Carlson are playing 4-3 and that's just as bad.

deoju posted:Having one dude on him all of the time and the rest of the team playing like a 4 on 3 would probably be preferable when you are on the pk. This usually happens most games. They’re whole power play is set up around somebody on Ovechkin. It lets them go down low then up to Oshie in the bumper slot for a tic tac goal. Or they just feed Ovi regardless of coverage cause lol it usually works.

I hate the Caps PP coach because I think he in actuality sucks and could do more, but at the same time why do more when you just got OV hitting dingers.
