(Like, "who's that guy, oh it's Ovi" kind of better) But he's still a huge liability in OT if the play goes the other way. Either way, next time we're in OT he'll be out there, cause Carbery was getting grilled about it yesterday. lol (He said he just didn't realize he hadn't gotten ice until time was up) :smirk:

Same thing with having Carlson out there constantly in OT. They seem to look for their slowest guys and then make sure they're out there when you need speed more than anything. I'd rarely or never have Ovie out in OT anymore. He sucks in the shootout, too.

Now that he has the all time NHL lead in ENGs....we can leave him off the ice when opponent pulls goalie as well.
He's always been at best suspect on D and backchecking...but he scored so much it made up for it. Now....not so much
I'm fine whit him on the PP (but not the entire PP), but no reason for him to be out there if you trying to close out a game.

His plus/minus rating will far exceed his goal total, in the wrong direction.

I'm amazed the caps hung in for OT vs Vancouver. Total dumb mistake with 4 seconds....just hoping McMike wasnt aware there were just 4 seconds but you should be.
Caps should start dumping guys now. Why wait for the deadline.
oh, and has Protas had a single point since the ridiculous contract?

Four seconds or not, the pass was horrendous. You don't blindly throw the puck into your own slot. Just a real dumb play. Yes, way, way, way past time for total rebuild mode. Nobody, and I mean nobody, on this team should be untouchable.

And the funny thing is they've paid Jensen and TVR like they have offensive upside or something. I guess he's the only D on the team who can pass or put a shot on goal? Whatever they thought Sandin or Bear had, apparently they don't. lol
