And OV no goals again. Down near 15 goal pace.

Truly a difficult, maybe even historically catastrophic day for hockey.

Was looking at Ovies underlying numbers and there has been almost no drop off. But 5% sh%.
Perhaps he relied on a booming shot that no longer booms?

It's tough to score a lot at 38 on a bad team without much help.

Thing is, last year’s Caps also sucked, and 37 year-old Ovi didn’t have much help on that squad other. Yet he still scored 42 goals & 75 points.
So I don’t think the team aspect really explains his drop-off this year.

i usually love people breaking records but... would be pretty cool with him falling short.
Agreed!

Ovi's "Please no war" stuff was so weak. it was forced out of him.
Gretzky was always all class. He never even said a peep about NHL owing him millions.

Team is actually one of the surprises of the season, one less win than the Leafs with a game in hand.

Doing pretty well, but not really close in quality to us I don't think. Hopefully numbers will correct a bit now that Reaves and Klingberg are island castaways.

Wasn’t actually comparing the teams (it’s not particularly close tbh) just using Leafs as a reference to point out Caps haven’t been a trainwreck (so far) dragging Ovy down
