Ovechkin milestone thread - 850 and Beyond!

[pi314]

You're argument is flawed from the very beginning.

We aren't talking about a player like a Marleau who can score some goals, is soft as hell, doesn't hit anyone, has nothing to his game besides some goals, has some vision, a good guy in the locker room. I like Patty.

This is the greatest goal scorer of all time, Cup champion, too many awards to name, one of the best hitters to ever play the game, one of the hungriest, and a great teammate.

His lack of defensive prowess isn't a problem.

You also ignore that he is an incredible passer.

A Russian truck that is durable, used to hit everything that moved, the best goal scorer GOAT, a great passer, and a great teammate.

Go ahead and tell us why you REALLY don't like Ovechkin.

I can probably guess.

Some of us watched his entire career. Some of us remember a player who was among the most exciting and dangerous on the rush that the league has ever seen. He floats now, yes. Probably because he's old and has a lot of wear and tear.

What`s wrong? 1 of 3, Moscow isnt his home town


Malkin has US citizenship along time ago, we know about that since late 2019

What’s citizenship have to do with it? Soviet defector Sergei Fedorov is a US citizen and finished his career in the KHL and later coached for the Red Army. A lot of these guys take US citizenship for reasons of convenience, or dual residency. If I'm not mistaken a lot of these guys have vacation homes in Florida but mostly reside in Russia.
I don't see any reason Ovechkin or Malkin wouldn't finish their careers where they started, ending them full circle.

Funny how all the most “durable” players are all floaters. Kessel, Marleau, Kane, Ovechkin, etc.

Amazing what not playing defense, battling along the boards, or blocking shots will do for one’s durability.

Funny how all the most “durable” players are all floaters?

And each one of these clean.

Ovie doesn’t get enough props for this.

Dream to see Ovechkin as Capitals GM after retirement...

apparently all you


need to do to


be on your way to


finishing #1 all time in goals

win a stanley cup and a conn smythe


captain one of if not the winningest


regular season team during your career


and record a 1000+ positive goal differential


despite being on the ice every time your team pulls the goalie


is to float around


neat you should go try that


make millions of dollars


instead of shitting up this thread

Last season he didn't get goal #9 until the 44th game of the season on January, 27 in Dallas.

 

[Demandedace]

Has anyone heard from Maronapov? That dude has gotta be damn near suicidal with how Ovi is playing this season

 

[Zuluss]

The old man is #7 in the league in goals atm.
2 more goals for the lead.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

He’s waiting to see if Ovi is good enough to play in the 4th division German league. Nothing else matters to him

 

[Devil Dancer]

Still only 1 PPG this year, right?

So much for the floating PP specialist narrative.

Why aren't the other players doing the same? Are they stupid?

They’re too honorable to score goals. Everyone knows putting the puck in the back of the net is actually kind of disgraceful and uncouth.

He, wetcoast and Slava Malamud have all been put in straightjackets for their own protection.
