Player Discussion Alexander Ovechkin (Vol. 4)

[AlexModvechkin8]

Ovi excels at all sports

“I swear god” cracks me up every time.

 

[Ridley Simon]

Thinks it’s time the Caps focus on righting the ship heading into the playoffs. 895 is secured so let’s move on.

You should send the franchise a memo?

“You’ve had your 15min of fame, now let’s move on!!”

 

[Raikkonen]

Who’s the kid speaking Russian to him?

Everything AO does these days is classy. The man knows his status, he should be extremely comfortable with who he is, and what’s he’s done.

Living Legend. Period End

Sorokin asked him if the pressure is gone now and Ovi answered something like "of course, finally"

Caps have announced that they will give out towels of the 895 goal celebration along with holding a ceremony before the game Thursday

I wouldn't expect it. Listen to Ovi's locker room speech after last game. It's clear the boys are done with the regular season - he was basically like let's get this regular season crap over with so we can focus on the playoffs.

Such a beaut.

I was pleasantly surprised to see that Marek has Ovie ranked 4th all time behind Gretzky, Mario, and Hasek. He seems to get the gravity of what Ovie just accomplished, and I appreciate #8 getting some respect from a Canadian media member.

He spelled Orr wrong.

In all seriousness, the current NHL Mt Rushmore has to be Gretzky, Mario, Orr, Ovi.

Those four players dominated over their peers in ways no four other players ever have. It's not even up for debate.

So who will be in the box with Bettman when Ovi sets the new all-time hits record?

Pete Hegseth?

I don't get why they don't just count his hits from the first 2 years. He would be first already.

 

[Jags]

I really enjoy Smith and Sharpe and the energy they bring to talking sports, but this was hilarious. They don't end up looking as stupid as they sound because they were shouting down the only person that knew anything about hockey. But any hockey fan that watches this will marvel at their ignorance...



P.K. hung in there and didn't shrink from it, but he left some of the best arguments on the table.

It was only a counted stat starting in 2005-06. Otherwise Gordie Howe and half the Broad Street Bullies would be at the top of the leaderboard. As it stands now, its Cal Clutterbuck

Ok, this makes sense, I kept hearing they started in 07-08, which made no sense to me.

This story warms the heart.

895 Goals & 20 Years Later, Alex Ovechkin's Love For D.C. Still Runs Deep. It's Meant Everything To Him & The Capitals

WASHINGTON — It's rare to find an athlete who stands the test of time, one who gets back up over and over after being knocked down, one that doesn't find resolve in moving cities, but transforming one.

Watching the ceremony in NY again this morning man that was special, I don’t think I can ever really hate the islanders again. Really wish the goal horn went off though lol
