After 10 games OV has 6 goals and 7 assists. That’s a 49 goal pace.

I like the positive feedback loop that is developing here.  The game is not being forced to Ovie; instead, he is actively involved in getting others going, and then, AS A RESULT, opponents have to pay attention to others, and Ovie gets more open looks. 


Strome had a good year last year and he looks to be building on that this year.  But the real eye-openers are McMichael and Protas.  What a difference from their previous work!  We have to remember, these guys are just 23.  Not everybody can show who they can ultimately be at age 20, like Ovie and Backstrom.  The team has some significant issues on defense, especially if the injuries to Chyc and Roy really inhibit them.  But at least the offense this year looks as if it might be able to overcome some defensive shortcomings.


At the beginning of the season, when people were wondering if/when Ovie could catch Gretzky, I was a little uncertain about his prospects.  My figuring was, Ovie throughout his career has been quite consistent scoring overall, but he has these bursts where he will get, like, 15 goals in 20 games.  I thought, if he has one more such streak in him, if he can get 1/3 of the way there in one burst, the rest will take care of itself.  He has 4 goals in the last 3 games, so maybe this will be the burst that he needs.  Then the only thing that could keep him from the record would be serious, serious injury.

I'm loving the balanced scoring. If we could end up with 6 or more 20+ goal scorers that would scare some people in the playoffs.  You have Ovi, Willy, Strome and now McMike that look to be sure things. Then maybe Dowd, Mangiopane and even Protas and I'm probably forgetting somebody.  It would be good if PLD got going scoring but I think they are very happy with how he is playing.

I don’t know who this team is but it’s fun to watch.
Protus and McMike have been outstanding and not just in scoring. They are driving the play and doing so responsibly.
Strome continues to show he can be a top6 center.
PLD is playing better than his scoring stats show-hopefully that results in some goals eventually.
Defense is suspect and partly because goaltending has been sub-par, but our D does move the puck well and starts the o from the back end
We have been very good at limiting shots this year so the goals against are too high for the number of shots or scoring chances
Whole team moves the puck better than last year though and that’s making a world of difference
Go Caps




FFS - HIT HIM!!!
SHOOT - THE - PUCK
