Calling out Ovi

[illpucks]

You would think a player without post-season success would come out with a bang. Abysmal effort tonight. You are not going to win the cup playing like that and you will be lucky if you play more than 3 more games in these playoffs. Where is the killer instinct? If the cup is all that matters then why not raise your game?

It's gotta kill him to see his countryman to put the game away like that. Breadman has more career playoff OT goals than Ovi....crazy

 

[Pancakes]

It's been one game. Relax bud. He'll show up in this series. He always does.

...and when Ovi tried to do it all himself he was criticized for being too selfish of a player who would never win anything if he didn’t learn to trust his teammates.

For what it’s worth, I’m not even a Capitals fan.

Every year threads start like this. He usually gets hot in the 3rd round.

His bad conditioning is the reason. He just had no energy in OT.

Pretty sure we just saw Panarin do just that

His horrible conditioning is the reason. He just had no energy.

Let's see how the rest of the series goes before making judgments.

 

[KoozNetsOff 92]

4 SOGs, 2 hits, even.. Not a great game, but definitely nothing to start a hate thread about.

Same old story. Up 3-2 late in game. Lose in OT

 

[izzy]

yep he has to do everything

 

[Scotty Pucks]

Lol, love the snap reactions after one playoff game.

Ovi will be fine.

“Not a great game”

It’s crazy the standards in which we judge Ovi.

If true (by the way people talk about him) McDavid should have 2 Cups by now.

The problem was never and will probably never be Ovie. He's the franchise player and a generational talent. The problem will always be his supporting cast.

The Penguins understood that the supporting cast is as big of a part as your franchise players. In 2013, the Pens were the absolute favorites to win the cup, went out and made all those all-in trades, and we got swept by Boston. We simply had a team of individuals. Know how many players are on the team now that were then? 3. Crosby, Malkin, Letang. We kept our franchise players and cleaned house of the rest, and now we're in a position to threepeat.

The Capitals, however, just keep building a team of and keeping... well... losers. How is Brooks Orpik on a contending team in 2018? He was done when his contract was up with us.

Yeah 1 game, but what i find really funny is in the last reg season game when it was time for him to get personal accolade the effort was twice as hard lol.

 

[Fire Benning]

This is going to be a funny thread in retrospect when he scores 2 or 3 goals in game 2.

Not like most of the Caps showed up anyway.

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

He used up every bit of energy in the tank during the regular season.

Actually no since this thread was started by a Caps fan for that purpose. This thread will only look ridiculous if he doesent score.
