"The PP and PK are awful, but how important are those in the playoffs? PP seem to be few and far between in the playoffs. I mean it certainly will be a factor if we truly have the worst, but not as big a factor as total shitty team play at 5v5. I am not inferring that the caps WILL make the playoffs, but that is the 1st mail goal of the season....to actually get there."
I don't think our PK is that bad. God knows we've managed to engineer enough practice at it, huh? All the stupid, dumb and unneccesary penalties - constantly. :stupid: Our PP, however is in the cellar. If there was a below cellar I would go for that. Appalling. So much talent - so much waste.
Top of the league in taking stupid penalties, bottom of the league in PP.
Pfffff. :angry: :crying:

I agree with many of you about Jaskin. I think he has more of what we need than some others. I wonder if it's a chemistry thing? Maybe it's just a ruling out thing? A few of us really like... liked .... LOB, but the big boys didn't seem to think he had what it takes. They know miore than me.. so.....
Imho, he's put up a pretty decent showing so far.
Maybe it's more basic than that. Immigration issues, tax stuff, Who knows? I for one would like to know. :huh:

I don't think Ovi gets there...or even close really (to catching Gretzky). I'd love to see him get to 800 or 802. Hell, I just want him to pass Jagr (766). 800 would be a nice number - I'd have no problem with Ovi being behind two legends. (I never considered Jagr a legend.) Maybe I'm bitter cause he was a disaster for the Caps.
Ovi needs 254 (or so) more goals to catch Gretzky. He would need (5) more 50 goal seasons (counting this one) then some spare change. I can see him playing till age 37, but not producing at that pace. MAYBE if he ends up playing as many games as Gretzky (1487), he could catch him, but that would require 439 more games. That would be at least 5 more full seasons after this one. Who knows, maybe he'll be a Messier or Jagr and play till he's 40. We shall see.
(Every time I delete text in the middle somewhere it F's up the font/size.)

I think realistically 800 and change is doable for Ovechkin for 2nd on the all-time list, but reaching #1 by passing Gretzky is probably a reach, I agree. If he's 2nd I'm perfectly happy with that.
