He always does that with Ovi and it’s a mistake. He wants to get him easy empty net goals - feeding the beast. At this time of year, that’s not needed, or smart.

I'd prefer our better defensive players out there. Who cares whom scores an empty net goal.

I’m more concerned it’s “line ideology” . . . If the first lines ready there up, then second and so fourth
But yes, with an EN your best defensive and face off players need to be on the ice and running a tight defensive scheme

Damn right. Put 3 centers out there if you have to.

At the point when Ovie played, no way we were going to loose. Although still valid point.

I mean, cool, he's showing him he believes or whatever? What if he blocks a shot with his hand? Or they score while he's "trying" to play D? Just not sure I see the upside to putting him out there in a situation similar to a PK.. But whatever, we up 1-0.. Yay!! :raspberry:

Because Ovechkin is better than in the past with playing D. To get better he needs experience playing D. As for possible injuries, why play him at all in the third then? And we aren't a one dimensional team anymore. If you cover Ovechkin or we lose him to injury we can still score. Ask Ovechkin, I am sure he would rather contribute.
