Skinsin2013 Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 LOL @ the Ovi chatter. I love the way he is playing. His first goal was a grinder's goal, which is awesome. That said, you should really save it... until he's won something noteworthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being an all-star 9 times and almost certainly going to be a first-ballot hall of famer? You're right. He's won nothing. Honestly, this whole thing is getting tired and the Caps fanbase never deserved him. There would be no Rock the Red in this town without him. The team would still be irrelevant.

Jeezy Fanatic Posted April 24, 2018 Author Share Posted April 24, 2018 Somewhere along the line the narrative became that Ovechkin doesn't perform in the playoffs, despite his averages of ~PPG. This isn't QB play, even the best forward on the team is only on the ice ~40% of the game, and the 40% he's on he's performing. I hope we break through because I don't want this BS to affect Ovi's legacy (And also because I want DC to finally win obvi) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeezy Fanatic Posted April 24, 2018 Author Share Posted April 24, 2018 To go off topic a minute, in the 1980s when Gretzky was in his prime, the league average GPG was ~7.5GPG. During Ovi's career it's been around 5.5 GPG. Can you imagine the volume of goals Ovi could've put up in that era? Bananas. Source Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are goalies just better now? What's the reason behind the changes in scoring? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the reason behind the changes in scoring? The biggest factor is bigger goalies and bigger goalie equipment. Goalies used to be smaller and more quick, now goalies are big guys who go into the butterfly and can cover more of the goal, there's alot less goal to shoot at now than there used to be.
