Also Fanatics player jerseys of guys who switched teams (whole lotta Laine Jets jerseys) but there’s a McDavid breakaway jersey in there.

Checking out what else they have for sale and love that the only Canuck shirzeys they have for discount are Horvat, Boeser and Virtanen lol

He's got 70-120 over the remainder of his contract, being conservative with the lower range.

If he keeps going over that, sky's the limit

Struggling to find it right now but Bucci had a tweet recently that said something like if he keeps on his current pace, he would be able to pass Wayne sometime in December 2025.

You mean 2024. Figure at least another 20 or more this season, that probably gets him close to 830ish. 40 next season is around 870. 2024-2025 season is the one he’ll get it done. Maybe.

If he wants to keep playing as it continues getting more and more painful to do so, Jagr style, Ovechkin stands a 10-15% or so chance of getting to 1,000 goals. He'll be 40 years old and around 900 after the 24-25 season. Jagr scored 101 after he turned 40 and his game was more about moving around on the ice than Ovi's.

Getting to 895 is a foregone conclusion barring career ending injury, IMO.

Yea I agree. 895 felt impossible just a year or two ago but he hasn't slowed down at all.

I mean when he’s done with the NHL, he’ll probably go back to the KHL and close out his career with a season or two at 45.

It will never not piss me off that we could have watched Ovechkin march to 1000 if it wasn't for lockouts/covid. 900 will always feel like a consolation prize. Then again, may be scoring wouldn't have gone up if we didn't have the 04/05 lockout.

Absolutely the right decision. Also, given how badly Tkachuk in a similar scenario hosed up Dumba's entire career, I'm still livid that this only had matching fighting majors:

Apparently everything before the gloves dropped was normal hockey play and furthermore the fight magically happened, nobody instigated anything

Absolutely with you on both counts. Shaw missed on his line and I think he made it worse when the dude tried breaking out of the way and didn’t just turn to miss completely on the hit. I kind of expected 2-4 games suspended from it.

Granted, Minnesota should have been on a PP from the instigator at that time. I definitely scared the dog when I started yelling after this. Only difference with the Reaves hit is the other guys didn’t keep chasing Reaves and Dumba got jumped by two guys that weren’t a part of the original play. I’m just sick of guys having to fight on every big legal hit. Ruins the tempo of the game for both clubs. Wouldn’t be an issue though if they called the rule book.

People who watched the Panthers-Isles game: have the Panthers' players looked like they've given upon Maurice yet so that he'll retire again? I am so sick of looking at these box scores and seeing absolutely nothing to get excited about.

No games till the 27th, let’s check the standings and see who’s season is basically over.





Boston looking like President’s trophy winners and Philly fell off a loving cliff, lmao. I’m not counting out Detroit or Buffalo from making a wild card push yet, they’ve each only played 32 games.








I’m torn about Seattle. I’m want them to succeed cause half their team is former Caps, but gently caress Hakstol too. Edmonton needs to get its loving poo poo together, it’s painful to watch McJesus get squandered year after year.

Nobody made him sign with Edmonton.

(Seriously though, I want to see another Lindros moment. It'd be great fun with all these openly tanking teams if Bedard or someone was just like "Wow you guys completely tore your team apart in order to suck bad enough to draft first overall. Why would I want to play there?")
