Around the League 2019-2025 Edition

clearly tried his best to kick it as he was falling. looking right at the puck the whole way.
It flows with his motion though so it could also be just dumb luck. Which is why it stood. You're giving him quite the soccer ability there.
 
I just think it's a natural reaction tbh. I mean i don't think he was trying to kick it top corner i think he was just trying to keep the puck moving, probably over to his teammate in front.
 
True. Laine actually does more than Ovi.


I'm a bigger Ovi-hater than most, but this is patently ridiculous.

Laine at any stage of his career in comparison to Ovi at any stage of his career---even old man Ovi---is ridiculously more one-dimensional than Ovi. On top of being a mercurial, often-disinterested charmin-soft floater and not fit to hold Ovechkin's jockstrap or even being worthy of comparison when it comes to the one thing both players are best at---scoring goals.

I've seen both play live. Ovechkin barely moves during a shift. I saw a 52 year old Gordie Howe play for the Whalers at Maple Leaf Gardens and he got more exercise than Ovechkin did in the game I watched last season.
