Love that Ovi refused to go out with the empty net

I disagree, it would be better for the game to see it moments before it happens - and celebrate a win instead of stopping in the middle what could be an important game for the opposition.

If the opposition doesn't like it they should defend better

I think he made the right call. Ovi doesnt look too thirsty. Leonard got his first goal because of it - sharing a little bit of the spotlight and the fun. And above all he can pass TGO with a goal worthy of being replayed 1000s of times.

I think it's too late to go into a full rebuild at this point. I think the Kings exited their rebuild too early, but you can't put the toothpaste back in the tube.

They will need to make wholesale changes if they're a first-round exit again, in my opinion, but that's a conversation for later.

Instead of this...

Let's do this...

...but people are probably right, the Kings need to let Kopitar and Doughty retire as Kings in 2030.

If Ovy doesn’t break the record from the left faceoff circle I don’t want it

I want it to be an own goal by the opposing team with him being the last one to touch the puck.

Then we can have endless arguments about the legitimacy until someone else comes along to break it.

Dude - I actually had the EXACT same sentence in my last post before I decided it was a bit too much!

I do think that deciding not to get the empty netter in a natural game situation like that is actually insulting to the game. Putting your preferred way of scoring a goal above your team is the exact kind of douchebag move I associate with Ovechkin.

I hope somebody worth celebrating passes them both.

Dman puts the puck in his own goal with ovchkin the nearest opposing player

I feel sorry for whoever is in net tomorrow versus the Caps. That goalie is going to be shown giving up that goal for many years.

St Louis just beat Colorado. 12 straight wins. Do we really want to win the division?

Add to that they didnt look too good against them in the 3 games in 8 days. But their PP is 19th OA at 21% - thats more on par with the Kings and the Blues wont present the mental baggage that LAK has with EDM. So Im pretty on the fence about it. I think with no Jeannot, EDM will bully the Kings again for the 4th straight season and win the special teams by alot.
