Ovechkin Milestone Thread - Countdown to 894

[PaulD]

If you're Ovi at the red line and you have an empty net and the guy on the other side of the D man is Connor McMichael, you shoot 100% of the time.

OV does yep. And did......and missed.....instead of giving his teammate a break away on an open net.
Boston then had a good screen shot to tie it. lol

Seriously? How many Caps games have you watched this year?

if he's got a life ......none. The Caps have been ass.

Give it up man... your argument doesn't convince anyone. He would've had to sauce the puck over the D's stick or put it ahead of CMM hoping he can skate into a pass. The simplest option is to shoot, and he barely missed.

He rarely misses these shots. That’s why he has scored 850+ goals in his career.

And if someone was in a MUCH better position, he would have definitely passed. But only people who watch a LOT of Caps games would know this

....it was an easy pass and his team mate is on a break away .....OV tries the 170 ft shot and misses.
no bid deal......and no need for you to bull shit about the play.
Ha!

He is not a Caps fan. And neither are you.

If someone has a life (a fulfilling one, that is), this person wouldn’t waste his time by going out of his way to leave negative comments about a player/team he doesn’t follow.

Ha!

Did I even mention CMM?

There is no need to put words in my mouth.

But you feel free to keep grading our posts coach.

With Ovi's goal tonight - he finished his 38 year old season with the SECOND most goals by a 38 year old all-time, and the 10th most points by a 38 year-old all-time.

Considering how badly his first half went, this is truly remarkable.

ALSO - someone correct me if I'm wrong, but he officially lead the team in goals this year, continuing his streak of leading the Caps in goals every single season of his career.

 

[SkinsFan09]

Ovechkin is old, he cannot tilt the ice like he once could. The Capitals traded away what little known talent they had left over the past two seasons to acquire draft picks and cap space.

And yet, a surge of 22 goals in the final 35 games along with help from Dylan Strome has the Capitals in the playoffs.

Regardless of the clear fact that the final four teams competing are all severely flawed it is still an impressive accomplishment. They needed all 22 of those goals to get into the dance.

 

[Bear of Bad News]

You know, when half of y'all's posts are fishing for dissenters by openly talking about the "haters", you can't act surprised or complain when folks take your bait.

 

[andrjusha]

#853 is very important goal for Caps. Another clutch first goal of the game.
OV ties Crosby in number of postseason appearances with 15.
Wonder what is record with active players and all-time, anybody has these stats?

 

[WarriorofTime]

Caps sacrificed everything (at what cost?) to get Ovechkin the record, sold at the deadline and made the playoffs anyways.

 

[TJHKY]

 

[Randyne]

#1 all-time with 144 1st goals; 2nd place with 135G
WSH P% when Ovechkin scores 1st goal =.764

no one complains, haters hate = Ovi scores

[Zuluss]

Caps don't look like contenders this year, but great job OV and the team making the PO anyway.
Hope OV will score several goals in the playoffs.

 

[kugelbahn]

OV enters playoffs tied 15th all-time in playoff goals with 72.
Will be tied 13th with 1 more goal, needs 4 goals to tie Mario for 12th all-time.

 

[Hockey Outsider]

Ovechkin has led his team in goals 9 times in the playoffs. That ties him for 1st place all-time. If he leads the Caps this spring, that will give him sole possession of 1st:

Ovechkin has also led his team in points in the playoffs nine times (tied for 3rd most all time). If he leads the Caps again, he'll be tied for second (behind only Gretzky, and tied with Howe):

[pezpunk]

idk about that.. they've been padding his stats all year, just happen to also be in the hunt.

Found a guy who obviously never watches the caps.

 

[kugelbahn]

Active players with 15 career postseasons:
Crosby, Malkin, Pavelski, Perry.
OV, Suter and Parise need to play a playoff game to join them.
Pavelski and Perry need to play a playoff game to have 16.

 

[DRW895]

31 goal in this ruined lowest scoring team on East - it`s unbelievable

 

[SkinsFan09]

How exactly?

 

[ViD]

A team that was a seller at TDL and Ovie that barely had 10 goals first half of the season are heading to the post season.

Truly unreal.

Season summary

 

[Midnight Judges]

That was a big old game 82 goal right there.
