Please stop.
We all know how Ovie is -- has been throughout his career. There are times, for a few games or several games, where he quiets down. And then the next thing you know, he finds it again and has 7 goals in 5 games, or something.
Maybe he WON'T score the last 6 games of the season, or maybe he'll go off again and sail past 50 goals. Or something in between. I haven't a clue about what it will be, and neither does anyone else. Whatever occurs regarding Ovie's individual stats, the primary objective is to get into the playoffs and be ready to play as well as possible starting April 10.
I have this nagging thought regarding how the Caps finish in the Division relative to the other teams. The Division race is so exceedingly close that it is impossible to guess how the standings among the top 4 teams might end up. And this closeness suggests that any of the first and second round series is likely to be close to a 50/50 proposition. Given Malkin's injury, is this a year when it might be best if the Caps, who ALWAYS seem to have to go through the Pens at some point, play them in round 1?

Yea, personally, I couldn't care less who wins the rocket or how many goals Ovi scores. If he'd never done it, sure, but he has many times so.. Playoffs!! :uh-huh:

What's great is we are fired up about having 6 or 7 20 goal guys -- and that does point to depth -- but TBL will have 3 40 goal guys. In the new NHL that is just insane!

It’s much like the “Steroid Era” in baseball. The rule changes and the way game is called decreases the integrity of offensive stats the same way as a scrawny center fielder good for 20hrs a year growing three hat sizes in mid 30s and hitting 70 and breaking the all time HR record
