98 more empty netters to go, Ovi.

 

[Ovie's Neighbor]

5 away from 99s record

Another empty net goal. Gentlemen light your torches.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Another?! how dare he!

Defense's job to stop him from scoring... just sayin'!

Ovi is Jesse Puljujärvi goals away from Wayne Gretzky.

This a a great idea….

 

[Bear of Bad News]

Scored it against my team tonight and (other than losing) I couldn’t care less. He’s out there protecting a lead, so clearly he’s trusted. Congratulations to Ovi.

Might as well give Ovichken a free goal or two every game this is embarrassing for the league

Classy, Bear!

It's still in regulation. Stop. The. Other. Team. From. Scoring. It's not on Ovi to skate around with the puck killing time.

No. It's not. It's only embarrassing for fans who try to find any reason they can to devalue his climbing goal totals.

If they don't want him to score those, guess what?

They just need to stop him lmao

Disagreed completely. ovies defense in these situations is suspect. the only reason he is out there is to bag easy goals to keep him happy and chase down the record. the coaching staff and management think that is more important than if the caps lose a game once in a while. its an understandable move by the caps. anybody saying else is just kidding themselves massively. just keeping it real here...

He wasn't on the ice for the first eng. Care to explain?

 

[Firsov99]

He also obliterated a defender on the follow through. A goal + hit. Typical Ovi

 

[Ovie's Neighbor]

I will take 98 more ENGs please. Because that also means 98 more wins.

 

[norrisnick]

Didnt they miss 30 games in 91/92 as well?

No

All the Ovi haters:

because wsh had an line of players out of gas who could not make it to the bench? i am not sure why everyone is pretending about ovie and the empty netters. i find it rather bizarre. it is what it is, stad padding at the highest level we´ve seen in the history of the league.

 

[Saitama]

I hope Ovie only scores empty net goals until he beats the record just to infuriate some silly people in this thread! Goals are goals and he's out there when the game is on the line.
