Ovechkin milestone thread - 850 and Beyond!

[VistamarCroissants]

That 5 goals in 5 periods wasn't very clear...

That's 5 consecutive periods with a goal in each period

This makes Ovechkin a periodic scorer

Yikes hoping it's nothing serious. He was putting together a special season. Like seeing the old guys playing well.

Yeah especially considering he never gets hurt either, but yeah I would bet that it’s not.

Oh……my…….G……

I don’t even know ……..


Uhhh. They’ve spent that almost 15m already man. Their contracts are not relevant.

Come on…..

Please help me underhand then. I am using the following tool:

2025-26 Washington Capitals Cap Table

The Washington Capitals 2025-26 salary cap table, including salary cap table, including team cap space, player cap hits, incentives, & bonus info.

This is for next season where 13 players, the core with the biggest contracts, is already locked in. So, are saying that the available cap space for next season has already been spent? But on whom?

The suburbs are lovely, with 7 of the 10 richest counties in the nation. Crime is low in the city as well. Other than traffic, what’s not to like?

Sounds like you’ve spent little to no time here.

To paraphrase Yogi Berra, "no wonder nobody wants to live here. It is too crowded."

Caps are already using Oshie and Backstroms money. They are on LTIR.

Mangiapane is making 5.5m this year and probably can’t be re-signed because we need his money to give to Chychrun and whichever goalie wins the no.1 spot.

It’s going to be mostly the same team next year with a few young guys like Leonard replacing Mangiapane and some other minor changes. That is unless Chychrun priced himself out then there will be bigger changes.

Ovi is the only player to score on 34 franchises, wild.

Thanks for clarifying. It would have been nice to keep Chychrun.

That would really suck if he has an MCL tear; could be really tough to come back from at his age.

A curse on you for even suggesting the possibility, jinxing us all: may your camels never bear young.

I can only hope he's back; nothing this season would thrill me more than if he maintained this clip and actually, beyond all reason or probability, took home another Rocket.

It would really suck for the sport if this was serious; what an awesome story he and the Caps have been so far this season.
