Ovechkin milestone thread - 850 and Beyond!

[usiel]

You and me both, and about 95% of Caps fans. There are a handful of fans who for some reason like the current uniforms when they are complete ass and a bottom three sweater in the league. The Caps have put out some beauties in recent years with the reverse retros and historically have had great jerseys all the way back to their inception but these Reeboks are, have been, and will continue to be an abomination. The piping and random splotches of color under the arms drives me insane.

I know they probably won’t change them until Ovi retires but now that the Kings and Ducks have updated their jerseys, the Caps have the most tired jerseys in the league and are in desperate need of an upgrade.

Lets see the data behind that. Those having lived through those unis they were terrible the day they were released and good riddance.

I did kinda like the red variant of that jersey as an ok alt.

The current unis are getting a bit stale.

*proud member of those 5%*

I just never clicked with the logo and the color scheme of that jersey - I do however love the red of the current jersey though - it pops!

And he’s playmaking like Backstrom out there too

Hes just good, again. Starting this season where he left off last year.
His passing might be the best its ever been, he has great vision.

He’s still a stud and I’ve said it 100 times in this thread alone but I’ll say it again: he can hit 1000 goals if he wants to play a few years past his current deal.

Probably goes back to Russia to play in the K or retires before that but if he wants 1000 he can easily get it. And I really hope he does try for it

Ovechkin if anything looks BETTER this season and a bit faster.

Is there any report on his dad-bod or lackthereof going into this season?

He’s always going to have a “dad bod” and I don’t think it really holds him back however he’s definitely better with a lighter version of the dad bod.

Look's like he's turned back the clock this season, would not surprise me if it happens this year

 

[M2Beezy]

Man I love this player

 

[kugelbahn]

That last dip was scary, back to normal now...

 

[Nogatco Rd]

lol as soon as they said it was his first time facing Primeau I knew he was gonna add another notch to his belt

 

[BallardEra]

28 goals in his last 45 games played. That’s a 51 goal pace over 82 games.

Not too shabby for a 38-39 year old player over that span.

 

[ACLEVERNAME]

Fantastic game from Ovie tonight! Starting to believe he may actually make it this year, which is absolutely bonkers to imagine.

 

[HTFN]

All time classic

as a trash beer league player I'm proud to say I managed to do this because of this.

the only difference is that as a bad player I was in the defensive zone and skating backwards as a winger, so I didn't do the full spin because I arguably wasn't in position, but the touch off the boards and transition to breakaway felt as sexy as it looks

Sorry, of topic... Does anyone else read the thread title in their head in Buzz Light year's voice?
