Ovi isn't hitting 50 this year. Normally you'd think that with 6 games left he should easily score 2 or more goals. But nope, not this year. Here's why:
1) 4 of the next 6 games are against opponents who are defensively solid (and solid on the PK). Canes, Lightning, and Isles.
2) Ovi did not score against the Flyers, who are the worst defensive and PK team out of the 7 games he had left before today. Simply put, his best chance was today and he blew it.
3) Ovi himself apparently doesn't give a shit with that stupid passing play and giving up the ENG
4) The team is in glide mode. No one is trying hard at all.
5) The PP blows and Carlson can't put the fucking puck in Ovi's wheelhouse.
He has a chance to win the RR, but mostly if Draisaitl and Kane stay cold. But yeah Ovi ain't hitting 50, not at this rate, not unless some magical turnaround happens. But absolutely nothing has convinced me that a turnaround will happen.

Meh probably get two in 6 games, but your damn right about the remains games: the two wild card teams twice, the Pres Trophy winners who hate us, and an FLA team who though almost certainly will be eliminated by then and assuredly love to upset the Champs in one of their last home games.
None of these are gonna be easy, or just another game.

Yes! This team needs more guys that want to pass and therefore be known as a great "team guy". If we coached out guys to go down on a 2 on 1 and fake the pass then shoot, our scoring percentage would be a lot higher. Kuzy would have 15 more goals this year if he got aggressive and shot the puck!

Well on the bright side....Holtby WAS sharp. He looked good and to be in what will hopefully turnout to be his playoff form.
Can't believe Ovi passed up EVEN an attempt at SHOOTING at an ENG. WTF was that about? Since when does he not take the opportunity to shoot...even an IFFY chance?
I'll take the win....deserved or not. We probably deserved to win the last one vs Tampa, but didn't. Well, "deserved" is not the right term, but we certainly outplayed Tampa last game.
Tuesday and Thursday vs Carolina should be interesting. Isles play Columbus tomorrow also. Should be a tense night for the standings.
Go Caps

After watching Ovi’s speech during Oval Office meeting we have a great chances to defend a CUP this season! :wackysmile:

Looks like Tavares will win the Rocket, only needs 4 more goals to win it.
