How many shots of vodka did Ovi take when he got home to forget his streak ending?

I'll take Andrew Cogliano's streak of 760 games straight lacing them up. His streak started with his first game as a rookie to boot. The dude is insane.

Everything and everyone is the best, we have short attention spans and the hype that is real and the hype that is manufactured by jerks trying to sell you something is usually impossible to distinguish.

Easily worst game of the year for Ovi and Backstrom. Looked like they were drunk. Bura out 6 weeks will be interesting if they just plug Sanford or Vrana in or look to deal.

It could go either way. They can LTIR Bura which will help a bit but some added defensive help still remains a priority too imo.

They have scored 5+ goals in 13 of 20 games to start 2017. At least someone in Washington is having success.

You just can't help yourself.

The crazy thing about Ovechkin getting no shots is he had a 15 shot game against DET last season.

Are you sure he's not just a floater that never gets his nose dirty?

But seriously, that is incredible, I've been keeping an eye on it for a couple years now. Just by the law of averages he'd had to have had a cold or something that would make him miss a game, something. Maybe he's Bruce Willis from Unbreakable? Or maybe that nose just pushes everything aside so nothing can touch him. I mean have you seen the thing?

I laughed a great deal at the Garth comments. Funny stuff Tanner.

That is an impressive streak for Ovechkin. I agree with you that while you will face a lot of counter arguments if you try to convince everyone Alex is the best goal scorer of all time, it is a legitimate stance to take. The fact that most people would agree it is at least a reasonable argument at all is indicative of how great a player and scorer he is.

At the moment Ovi isnt even a better goal scorer than Crosby, let alone Mario. What it all comes down to is Ovi has a good shot and tremendous will/heart/drive (you know all those words you fancy stat girls hate to be associated with hockey players) to put the puck in the net. It is very impressive but until he does it in the 3rd round of the playoffs hes just a Russian sideshow playing a Canadian game.

LOL - 87 is/has been scoring with a ridiculously inflated shooting %. It's starting to finally come back down to earth, hence he is no longer scoring a goal on every other shot.

OV is what - 5 goals back? And his shooting % is clearly below his career average.

So, following the trends of positive and negative regression (and if you have a brain, which seems questionable after reading your comment) what does that suggest?

Or maybe the fairly straightforward terms like 'shooting %' and 'regression' (oooh scary) are too 'fancy' for you?

Jeff Carter, OV and possibly Atkinson will finish ahead of 87 in goals.

As for the fallback of 'do it in the playoffs', I don't think the Caps have ever had a properly balanced team, but they do this year. The Pens stumbled to a Cup in 08, thanks to rolling 3 lines, and last year their depth was too much for any of the other contenders (even the Caps). Is that the fault of one player? Is that a testament to another?

I think Scotland invented hockey?

Let's revisit this in June
