The ‘23-‘24 boredom thread.. no square poop allowed
Beaglefan2:
So Ovi's season has been interesting and somewhat misleading. I would say the first half showed a substantial decline in his physical condition and his goal output was lousy - but not undeserved. He then got hot, but it wasn't the old Ovi with a lot of energy and decent skating. He got some bounces and empty net goals - enough so, that it reignited the talk/hope of him passing Gretzky. Then we have the end of the year and the playoffs and Ovi has looked like an old man with zero energy.
I don't think he passes Gretzky unless he plays 3 more years and they keep trotting him out there just for the record and hope he gets enough empty netters to get it done. It could be a sad/embarrassing scenario.
He should quit before that happens and if so, he should still be viewed as the greatest goal scorer ever - when you factor in the differences between when he played vs when Gretzky played.

It is clear the series would have been different with our Dmen. Overall good season considering with a good number of draft picks and some exciting prospects in the wings. Going to watch Zach Funk this week in person a couple of times, see what he brings for next year.

Ovi said he was "healthy" during the playoff series. Just another example of being too old, big and slow for playoff intensity. Oshie proved that theory as well. Those guys should be buried on the bench in high intensity games, save only for PP maybe. Carlson looks like he's got another year in him, though not sure at 25 minutes a night. Be nice to find his replacement so he could get 15-20 max and be fresh at the end of games. Going to be interesting offseason. Hope GMBM doesn't :poop: the bed. :cross:
