Ovechkin Milestone Thread - Countdown to 894 (Continued)

Pretty sure the players aren’t the ones making the ovi lawn decorations

The organization needs to make sure this circus doesn't become a huge distraction. This is a good team and their thinking needs to be exclusively on winning the cup. Fortunately Carbury is an excellent coach.
 
I doubt teams, unless he's like 2 goals away are going to play him any different than normal. So, these next 8-10 games, I don't foresee him getting shadowed. But, when we get down to the final 6/7 games I can see some teams wanting to keep their goalie out of the history books. Edm and Ranford was the team when he broke Howe's point record. McLean and the Canucks when he broke the goals record.

I don't see what anyone is going to do differently. Everyone and their dog knows Ovie scores lots of goals. It's not as if opponents are fine with it or they're not trying or something.
