Clifton Forge this time. Marion is ground zero.

For Criminy sakes man I was born in Clifton Forge.  My dad taught at the HS there. (okay he was a shop teacher so "taught" might be a stretch)

Ovi needs only 231 more points to pass Mr Hockey for the #2 spot in history 

scratch that...Jagr and Messier both have more (1921, 1887)

records.NHL.com needs to update their page photo - shows Gordy holding up #1850 puck with Wayne...that's some old news there.  You'd think they'd put a pic of Ovi on there considering....

OK, so I have a question about playoff structure.


It appears as if there are going to be 3 teams from the Metro and 5 from the Atlantic going to the playoffs.  If that transpires, will the Caps as #1 seed play the #2 wildcard team (either Ottawa or, most likely, Montreal)?  Or, if NJ stumbles to the finish and both Ottawa and Montreal finish ahead of them in points, could the Caps possibly play NJ in the first round, if they are the #8 points team?

Pretty sure we get #8 (2nd wildcard) regardless who it is. 


And Rich, see I knew something was wrong with ya.  Cuz.

I was thinking of buying playoff tickets for the second round.
But now....I just don't know what team I'd want to go see

I meant to "post" this yesterday....The Washington Post has a big insert in Sunday's (4/13/25) paper about Ovi and the chase.  Several articles and lots of stats.  Interesting read if you an Ovi fan.
(I know this because my 83 year old father in law actually still reads an actual newspaper....If you consider the Post actual news that is)
