OOT Scoreboard 2024 25 Season Part II

Maybe I'm the oddball, but regardless of which team I root for, watching Ovi tie Gretzky and potentially making history tonight gives me goosebumps.

I'm way more in the minority than you but I admit I'm a bit of an asshole with this stuff but I really don't care about Ovi or the record and I still thought our fans giving him a standing ovation was a joke but I'm not very kumbaya when it comes to sports lol

Would be hilarious if people spend insane amounts of money every game and he somehow doesn't score the rest of the season lol

I also completely forgot about the game tonight cause I was at a concert and it's hysterical the NHL dropped the ball with marketing yet again with this game not being on network TV.

Now now, don’t be modest. I think you are a huge asshole about everything. The false humility is unbecoming of you.

Because its not your boy(nationality or team or both). What he is doing is good for hockey, what league is doing - isn't very good.

And I agree it would be hilarious. Like it was hilarious when Devils fans spent insane amount of money every year and Devils somehow did win nothing all of the seasons or even couldn't play competent hockey.

This minority is quite major so it helps to save tension. But it doesn't help with legacy of hockey.

for the life of me I cannot figure out why anyone would care if it's an ENG. end of the day they all count the same.
Goals a goal but I would prefer that after all the work he’s done over his career, that the goal we see replayed a million times over the next many years is blasted past a goalie. Interesting that Ovechkin himself seems to agree.

I get he's your boy (obvious nationality bias) but at the end of the day when it comes to this league, overall nobody gives a shit, hence why hockey will never be more popular than it already is.

We also aren't allowed to talk about the elephant in the room on here but I do think it's ironic that one pos broke another pos record.
 
As long as it’s not Strahan sacking Favre 2.0 it will be amazing, empty nets are fine just don’t want the other team to pull its goalie inappropriately for example.
that would be shooting the puck into the net for him..
farve you dog bastard
then the jets go and sign the dog
then the dog plays great for then
then the dog gets injured and leaves
sooo jets like

Meh. Im happy for not "my" boys. I m not an idiot to not see how someone doesnt do the same and trying to cover it by something.(and its prolong not so long because right after we are talking about elephants and pos). Im rooting for this team not because Mogilny or even Brylin(but because of Stevens) and not because of EA games. And I understand why someone cant cross this line. But it def-ly not my problem.

Thinking about someone as "pos" or not "pos" is a decision of specific people who are focusing or not focusing on some aspects. Someone call Stanley cup celebration of Ovechkin as show off, someone call it relief. It just depends on what exactly is in the head and what is allowed in that head.

And yeah, im happy for "my boy" too because he loved the whole league by breaking unbreakable and did it in style(39 yo, best game winning goals scorer, best 39 yo scorer(not Howe anymore), top-3 goal scorer in the league with broken leg), despite all the attempts and efforts to call him one trick pony and belittle his abilities. Who cares about someone said something or even tried to paint something in false colors, if reality eventually reveals everything as it is. Its a joy.

That's the elephant in the room we can't talk about but there's more than a "specific people" who are annoyed with it and don't speak about it here. Wouldn't expect you to understand any of it anyway.

A lot of Canada even turned on turn coat Regretzky but again we can't talk about that that either directly.

Just ironic that two peas of a pod are the best goal scorers of all time. It's fitting.

I clearly understand. Its funny and understandable that you are thinking that I dont. Working well together.
And I understand that there are a lot of specific people, their considerable number does not make them less specific, no matter how diligently they are in their bubble, which is already bursting on their part. Among other things, Ovechkin's efforts are what makes things happen, and the attitude of all levels of organizational structures of hockey-entertainment relations.

But you know. He is playing. So... He shouldnt(from the angle of some people) but he is. So. Its ok for organisation, for laws, for fans on the stadium - not just for some people from dark corners of our universe. So. Its yours. Not mine. Or Ovechkins. Im just a guy, he is just a hockey problem. Everything is in your head only)

And no. they are not the same. For good reasons. And maybe they're not the ones to regret here.

This is just word jumble now. We aren't going to agree on this topic and that's fine.

Just glad he has no shot of breaking the record against us. Giving him a standing ovation once was bad enough.

We can agree here. Im very happy for him but Im not the one who would like to watch it against our team at all. I would like to watch it against rangers or against mtl.

I think not being able to fully enjoy incredible accomplishments due to someone’s personal political proclivities is crazy.

Personally as the years go by I care less and less about the entire league and only watch the Devils unless it's the playoffs. Reading this thread is the most I pay attention to the rest of the league.

Even if I didn't think he was a pos I still wouldn't care because he's not a Devil but again I know I'm the minority here just like when I was posting here annoyed about the standing ovation our fans gave him a few seasons ago.

I've never been about the kumbaya bullshit when it comes to sports even though I'd rather the world be more kumbaya lol

Oh I would 100% rather it be a traditional goal for him but people were like oddly affected by it potentially being an ENG. Glad he agrees, blast a one timer through Sorokin and it'll be glorious.

I understand the arguments both ways but I will add that people tend to make a lot of assumptions when we don’t really know all the answers.
