Nice play by Niskanan to draw the penalty

If you drop Ovechkin in Gretzky's era he's probably scoring 130 goals a season,

no disrespect to 99 but I could see 130 happening

 

[Bosa]

Good *** game

It’s Not Hard To Picture Ovechkin Doing That In The 80’s...

 

[lvjordan238]

This one's pretty much over. Better have their **** together Monday or else it's a wrap. Our 2nd and 3rd lines have been putrid outside of Tuch. Perron and Neal both making sure they aren't getting huge paydays this summer from Vegas.

 

[osh kosh bosh]

he is the best pure scorer ever. no question. no disrespect to 99 who is the GOAT player. but from a pure goal scoring standpoint, no one better

Glad to see everyone coming around.

I said this years ago and I remember getting push back,

Ovi the greatest pure goal scorer ever.

Look at this ****.


I say 130 MINIMUM.

 

[frink85]

how did stand-up goalies survive back then

 

[Deleted member 37467]

I was going to say 150 but it seemed a little ridiculous when I typed it out,

 

[InvestingWisely]

Seeing That Makes Me Believe 150 Wouldn’t Be Ridiculous From Ovi If That Was Goaltending...

 

[DeadsetAce]

cmon Holtby

 

[DeadsetAce]

stevenson with a couple A+ shifts

 

[lvjordan238]

Well Anaheim Theodore is back.

 

[danikerhino]

Dude the Caps are the definition of resilient.

 

[EddieDoyers]

Caps are 2 games away from winning it all

 

[DeadsetAce]

keep it rolling, Caps. for this dude Ovi

 

[lvjordan238]

Caps 100% deserve to be in the position they're in. Guess we'll see what the Knights are really made of Monday. If they don't get something from the top line this is prolly done, because the 2nd line especially has been utter trash. Washington has put on display the biggest holes on our roster. While they are getting offense throughout the lineup we've had 4 goals from our 4th line out of 9. That isn't gonna cut it.

 

[DeadsetAce]

Holtby doing his part. coulda had a shutout if he didn't goof on that "pass"

 

[Deleted member 37467]

Shutdown Caps PP and VGK still got dusted.

Not a good sign.

 

[lvjordan238]

Holtby doing his part. coulda had a shutout if he didn't goof on that "pass"

Definitely. He's outplayed MAF so far, although MAF hasn't been bad. Just isn't getting any support. "The save" may well go down as one of the biggest plays ever made in a SCF.

 

[EddieDoyers]

I don’t think MAF is getting outplayed, him and Holtby have been toe to toe
Knights losing the series so far because Caps have been outworking them on the boards the past two games
Caps are playing with more hunger

You cheer for a team that dives like Michael Phelps

Using a swimmer as a reference point for 'diving' is a pretty weak analogy.. but this isn't shocking coming from you

A swimmer only "dives" once per race.. and nothing within that 'dive' is trying to gain any of the advantages you seemingly want to allude to considering you're trying to react as fast as you can while getting as far as you can before entering the water as smoothly as possible so you can retain the momentum from said dive into the water as you either (a) transition to dolphin kicks (freestyle and butterfly) or (b) try to hold before starting your pullout (breaststroke)

Referring to the way soccer players or even NBA players 'dive', would have been the better route to go

But if you're just going to reference someone diving for diving sake, diving is a separate sport from swimming

 

[IATT]

So even now @the collector and rolling throu??

Greg Luganis

It is unfortunate that Greg lOuganis, is more well known and synonymous with his HIV status than actual diving

I'm sure the most folks on NT have seen of him was him hitting his head while competing in the '88 Olympics and the controversy surrounding that because of his aforementioned status
