Player Discussion Alexander Ovechkin (Vol. 4)

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

    In the meantime, feel free to join our Discord Server
Spent my lunch break compiling data to use in that Lemieux-Ovechkin thread just to realize it got locked.

Here's the data anyways. Someone made a claim that Ovechkin played against worse goaltenders. Data shows that Ovechkin actually played and scored against significantly better goaltenders.

Legend:
Blue = goalie won a Vezina during the players career
Green = At least 3x top-10 Vezina finishes
Yellow = never finished top-10

Only included Vezina and top-10 finishes from during the time the player played. Did not include Lemieux's 98/99/00 years, or 02 (only scored 6 goals).

Varly with some of those other goalies is pretty impressive.

Also just made me remember how much I dont like Ray Emery for his sucker punch on Holtby.

Thats a fun list for Ovie victims
 
What's more important: celebrating a historical event and giving it the time it deserves, or making sure a regular season game against the Blue Jackets ends in 2 hours 35 minutes instead of 2 hours 38 minutes?
I would like everyone to continue to talk this into existence. Me and my dad have tickets for the 4/12 game in Cbus tried to thread that needle 2 months ago hoping we're there for a big goal!!
