--- Quote from: alta on Wednesday August 19, 2020, 02:14:12 PM Eastern ---I think OV could easily play well and contribute until his 40's. Because of sports science(diet and fitness), we are routinely seeing guys play at a high level well past what the retirement age was just 10 years ago. He's 34 now, if he plays 10 more years that gretzgy record is toast.

I hope. Know what else is crazy? If Ovi didn't lose those 1.5 seasons from lockout/COVID and also could play until 40, he'd actually have a shot at 1000 goals...

Watching them flip the switch and turn it on to totally dominate those two periods just infuriates me. It just shows they can do it when the want to, but prefer to just coast and not put out the 100% effort demanded by the playoffs.
For all this "talent" that we supposedly have, what this proves is that effort trumps talent every time.

Which is pretty much the way this team has been the last ten years. Always so much potential and then just :raspberry: the bed.
The SC year...they got some lucky bounces and some timely goals at key points and then an actual taste of the Cup and went on with a real drive to dominate some games. It was wonderful to watch. This team can be so much fun to watch when they are working properly and so disappointing and frustrating when they just don't show up to play.
