LEGEND!

I wonder what John Scott has been saying recently?

Probably a fair bit off Biz's podcast, grate minds and all that.
Congrats on Ovi getting closer to his goal, that was one hell of a shot last night.

Dubnyk seems high on the list for the teams he was on.

Is there a way to see how many GP against each goalie? Lehtonen and Dubnyk have a ton of just career overlap with Ovechkin (up until they retired). Checked to see, Lehtonen is 12th and Dubnyk 18th in total GP 2005-06 to present. And not sure how that correlates to games vs. Washington specifically

For someone so relentlessly dogged by the Canadian media, he sure does light up Canadian teams. 29 goals in 31 games against the Sens and Leafs.

lol what does that even mean.

He’s well liked in Canada, most are cheering him on for the record.

looking on statsmuse, which is a neat site but not sure how reliable.

One more true gamewinner

I was watching that game last night, and I just knew he was gonna get that OT winner

I wonder what John Scott has been saying recently?

He finally admitted he was wrong about Ovi a few weeks ago, that breaking the record is now inevitable and that the Caps management deserves a ton of credit for putting the team back in contention and Ovi in a position to break the record.

It’s all the concussions man, he doesn’t process the info as fast as he should.

Can't find a post where someone called him lucky for being on a better team...
anyway, WSH this season:
first
18 games with Ovi: WSH P% =.750
next
16 games without Ovi: WSH P% =.656
next
11 games with Ovi: WSH P% =.773

WSH with one goal win since 2005/06 (15 games total):
