Around the NHL 2024 25

[Bjornar Moxnes]

This entire Dallas winning streak they have been playing dog shit hockey.

As lights out as Hellebuyck has been, I don't think there's ever been a game this season where Jets were outplayed so badly and faced a goalie that was awful, while Hellebuyck played fantastic. That has happened multiple times with Dallas where their goalie would play like prime Hasek while the opposing goalie decides that they want to be a vegetable for the night. Helle has won multiple goalie duels, but winning a goalie duel is far different than what Dallas was doing when winning games.

This entire Dallas winning streak they have been playing dog shit hockey.

Plus a buttery soft schedule, they couldn't have asked for an easier slate of opponents.

I think if we even finish these last 6 games at .500, Dallas would need to go 5-1 to win the division. That game coming up on the 10th will be a bit important

FINALLY

That is a big loss by Dallas.

 

[Jet]

Stars travel to Minnesota for a game tomorrow.

1.0 vs 2.0. Can they both lose?

Id love to see the Mild lose their playoff spot in a late season collapse.

895 !!!!

7:26 in the 2nd period against the islanders

 

[Ponds]

Janet Gretzky's face looking like a tuna melt.

 

[DRW204]

Dang. What a moment. He can still flirt with 50 goals this year even after that leg injury.

You can really tell how a guy like Laine has modeled his game after Ovi. Float into an open spot like a silent assassin and let fly. It's incredible how often it works.

I often wonder why more players don't operate that way, and I think the simple answer is they could, but wouldn't score nearly as often. You need a lethally accurate shot to operate that way I think.

Need to be packing an elite shooting arsenal with a laser beam of a shot and efficiency of a sniper with elite offensive awareness to do it. What is more impressive about Ovi is he isn't just limping into 895 as an old timer who is well past his prime days of goal scoring and just managed to finally get there. Dude is 3rd in the league in scoring at 39 years old after just recovering from a broken leg. The speed expired long ago but the awareness and shot haven't gone anywhere.

 

[Royale With Cheese]

Pretty amazing achievement for Ovi. Guy is 39 years old and he's scored 42 goals in 60 games this year.

Looking up some long time records and Gretzky had 894 goals, 1,963 assists for 2,857 points. He had more assists that anyone else of the greats (Howe, etc) has had in total points. Can't see those last two stat lines ever getting touched.

 

[Daximus]

Some interesting little facts about the goal breaking record.

Gretz - 894 goals in 1487 games
Ovi - 895 goals in 1487 games

Gretzky scored his 894th goal on March 29th, 1999 at MSG against Wade Flaherty of the New York Islanders.

Ovechkin scores his 895th goal on April 6th, 2025 at UBS Arena against Ilya Sorokin of the New York Islanders.

Also 21 years ago on this day, April 6th, 2004 the Capitals won the 1st overall pick in the 2004 NHL Entry Draft Lottery to be able to draft Ovechkin 1st overall.

You can't write history any better than this.

 

[Jets 31]

Gotta give Ovi alot of credit to be able to play this well this long .

 

[Mud Turtle]

Ovechkin standing along the boards doing nothing while the rest of his team does the heavy lifting of getting into the o-zone. Then he takes a couple steps across the blue line into open space and scores. A typical Ovi goal.

 

[Jet]

Good, now everybody can shut the f*** up about it

 

[Jets 31]

Minnesota is already useless to us .

 

[bustamente]

Ovie gets the record Caps lose Jets still in first overall, now to cheer on a Wild win..................and I feel F N dirty

 

[Truenorthducky]

Minnesota is already useless to us .

It’s time we start focusing on Colorado. All the talk a few weeks ago about Dallas and Colorado playing each other is basically just cursed it.

If we take care of own business it doesn't matter what Dallas does.

 

[Truenorthducky]

Yeah, well taking care of business isn’t all that easy which was evident last night, you have to actually win the games

 

[Weezeric]

Dallas first period vs the Wild at 5v5. One shot, one goal.

They have been absolutely putrid over these past few games, but have all the luck in the world.

That is how many games 99 played, not when he scored is 894th goal.
Dislike both of them to be honest.

While that may be true he still did it in the same number of games at this point in time.
