A Secretary of Defense away from the record.

Can't argue with that, but his game overall was poop. They did give him the 3rd star, though. 😁

He's 39 years old and he suffered a serious leg injury during the season. Do you seriously expect him to play like McDavid or prime Lindros or something?

He uses his offensive IQ and shooting skills to score goals and still comes up clutch. Most 39 year olds can't even play in the NHL.
 
6 goals with 11 games left.

Some soft teams in there including Sabres, Bruins, Hawks and Pens.

I'm convinced he's going to pull it off this season now. The Jets are hard to score against and that was an important game (two best teams in the League going at it) and he potted a big goal. There's no reason to think he can't score six in 11 when he faces those teams in that stretch. He may score four or five in those games alone.

no poop.

He is currently #2 in NHL history for points per game as a 39yr old. A hair behind some guy named Gordie Howe...

There are three other 39 year old skaters this year - Burns, Perry and Suter. None of them will come close to 40pts this year.

Also, none of those guys broke their legs this year.

Almost 40 coming off a leg fracture and people judge him like he's 26 and should be driving possession for three periods.
Sweet Jesus, you guys are touchy. Is this the reply every time someone doesn't fellate the guy in here? 😆

I never mentioned McDavid or Lindros or any expectations.

He's the greatest goal scorer in the history of the game. He scored tonight despite playing like poop. Both things can be true. Chill. 😉
 
Not elaborating but I’m curious what the reaction to Wayne will be in the Canadian cities.
You won’t get to find out until next season, if he doesn’t break it this year. The Caps’ last game vs a Canadian team was tonight vs the Jets.

Looks like they’ll probably face Montreal rd 1 but 99 won’t be traveling for the playoffs
