That was brutal by Pelech and good on Tuch for fighting him

Love the Goathead jerseys

Beauty of a goal. He finds himself wide open in the slot.

I'm legit starting to wonder if Ovi will reach Gretzky. The Caps are a hot, steaming pile of garbage team. Every core player is ultra old, signed long term and getting worse by the day.

Ovi didn't score or come close to scoring yet this year. He had 0 SOG in his last 2 games before tonight.

I haven't watched them yet this year but if he regresses to sub 30 goals this year and further regression going forward you're looking at 3-4 more seasons.... he's already 38 and has been very healthy to this point in his career as well which is not a guarantee to continue as he ages.

People were banking on him putting up 40+ this year. It's a hot take this early in the season but it is starting to look a little further than it was even last season. He's 72 away currently.

72 away, he only needs 2 seasons of 25 and 1 season of 22.

As bad as the Caps are, Ovechkin can hit those totals.

No need to review that… RyJo’s to lazy to extend his leg in a kicking motion.

 

[LOFIN]

f***ing Tampa, thought they had Toronto

 

[Balthazar]

No lead is ever safe with JoJo in net. I don't miss that feeling at all.

 

[Pokecheque]

Finally, DOPS levies a just punishment.

I've never seen anything like that before. Switching ends to make it fair for both teams!

f*** Vegas

 

[MonsterMack]

I really just despise this franchise

 

[GeoRox89]

Wasn’t the other defending Champ to hit 5-0 the 85-86 Oilers (the one that didn’t win), hope they can follow in their footsteps this season only

I dont think its happening and I was for sure thinking it will happen just 3 weeks ago.

wow that's bush league

BTW Kuznetzov makes RyJo look like prime Pavel Bure. He’s so bad, slow and careless. I’m very glad we didn’t get him.

So Edmonton loses and McDavid potentially injured. Uuh. That's a shocker for them.

 

[Cypher]

Oilers lose the game, lose McDavid to injury, and fall to 1-3-1. I'm sure their board is doing fine.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

They've beaten Seattle, Anaheim, San Jose, Winnipeg, Chicago, and Dallas in a SO. That's 4 of the worst teams in the league, one that appears to be not nearly as good as they were a year ago, and one "contender" in a shoot out.

A combined 8-18-3 record.

Sadly their division is so garbage that they will still make it to playoffs. I mean it would be massive failure if not.

Edmonton and Jets both looked super slow. Avs would skate circles around these teams.
