You hope precautionary but no weight on leg is not good sign. Just have to wait and see.

Hopefully just the slightest sprain/tweak possible. Didn't look good, my guess is MCL...

^^ This man has made less than 1 post per year over the last 17 years, I say we listen to himThe count in this thread has started with "99 goals to #99" post #2105 almost two years ago. We are counting down the number of goals left to score to catch Gretzky, ok? So the count is 26
He skated on it a bit and walked to the locker room on his own from the bench. He was definitely able to put weight on it.

He went for a twirl that lasted about 2 seconds then immediately went to bench and locker room.
Hopefully we get an update soon.

The thing is, you can put weight on a damaged ligament. I know it’s Ovie but he probably should have just called it a night and gotten a scan on it.
The Russian machine never breaks
Just give him his Coca Cola

I hope Ovi isn't seriously injured.
Cause he has been on fire lately.

I remember maybe a decade ago or so that Cam Ward had a knee injury and walked off the ice when they determined he was too hurt to continue only to find out it was an ACL and MCL tear ending his season.
Not saying that's what happened here, but knees are weird like that. You can walk gingerly on it with it being just gone
I hope Ovi's legendary durability just kicks in & it's nothing more than minor sprain.
It would be dumb to lose him like that when he had 15 goals in the middle of his 18'th game.
Hope it's nothing serious but he is in the age where staying healthy is problematic.

Yep. I tore my MCL playing soccer. Felt a "snap", knee felt "heavy", but no real pain. I was able to get home on my own. But it was the next morning when I really felt the pain.
P.S. Just saw the video. I did look like his knee went inwards, so an MCL injury can't be ruled out.

Come wit it now!
It's pity getting injured after having 15 goals in 18 games, and 5 goals in last 5 periods.

I had a similar experience playing football. Finished the game. Couldn't feel both knees the next morning or bend my legs. Never went to the doctor. Now my knees hurt when it rains. It was either my MCLs, PCLs, or ACLs. Not sure.
Really can't imagine being a top scorer in the top league at 39.
Oh……my…….G……
I don’t even know ……..
Uhhh. They’ve spent that almost 15m already man. Their contracts are not relevant.
Come on…..

That 5 goals in 5 periods wasn't very clear...
That's 5 consecutive periods with a goal in each period

The last game of the regular season is in Pittsburgh. Imagine Ovechkin scoring goal 41 and goal 42 in order to tie and break Gretzky's record while eliminating a super hot Penguins team from making the playoffs. Then Ovechkin and Gretzky will skate around the rink to a standing ovation from the Pittsburgh crowd. A crowd that includes daver, wetcoast and empoleon8771. Now that's got to be worth more than 1 Stanley cup win!

Pens don't need Ovi's help to be eliminated from Playoff spot
Yeah that's true right now. But just imagine Crosby, Malkin, Letang and Karlsson heating up and carrying the Penguins close to a playoff spot and then Ovechkin comes in and just destroys them in the last game of the season. Pretty sweet, right?
