Better to be the lone Russian instead of the lone good player.

Right, but it’s not like he’s making any life decisions based on that either.

He shouldn't, but I'm not sure if russian players presence in the team during his whole career is a simple coincidence.

I went to MoneyPuck's games page and thought it was broken.
No games tonight? It is Friday, right?
It's way too easy to bitch about the schedule, and generally I'm meh about it, but whiskey tango on this season's schedule? It seems like such an outlier.

He's swedish with russian ancestry so not sure if he speaks russian. And given the nature of russians who left Russia and Ovis patriotism they might not get along.
Edit: Born in Russia and moved with his dad who was a bandy player so nevermind. Sorry.

Penguins have worse odds than Panthers and Isles because they are the only team that doesn't face us anymore.

You think they passed on better players just to draft a certain nationality? I have a hard time believing that.

Another fine reason to root for the tank is the fact that the Pens need us to win in order to squeak their way into the playoffs:
NYI remaining games: vs PHI, @ WSH, vs MTL
FLA remaining games: @ WSH, vs TOR, vs CAR

Not nationality, but because of KHL. Teams constanly pass on better russian players because these players might stay in KHL. I think Ovy was the reason why Caps gambled a lot with russian players. So, while it benefits both sides, Ovy got used to russian teammates too. So I highly doubt they exchange Kuzy unless they have other russian incoming. (Not counting AA because he's not at full time job)

They've pretty much been going comically out of their way not to have any Finns for close to 2 decades now for some reason. Must be the Tikkanen empty net PTSD
McDavid scores on that punk, James Reimer, for pt 150.
Incredible stuff. Now he’s only 2 goals away from tying Ovi.
150 points is actually incredible. The full list is:
Gretzky
Lemieux
Yzerman
Esposito
Nicholls
