What concerns me more about Ovi is his stick work has really been off.  He misses passes and fumbles pucks way more than normal and most of his shots are off a bit.  I expected his skating to be poor after the injury but I wasn't expecting the poor stickwork.  Maybe that goes together with the skating and he will benefit from the rest that is coming up for the stupid tournament they are doing.


Let's just hope that he gets rested up and goes on a tear after that so he only needs 6 or 8 next year.

Lets hope he goes to Dubai for the 3 week rest

I found it amazing how slow they looked all game, then Ovi scored and all of a sudden they were faster. Visibly faster. Not sure how that happens, when the whole team is skating in sand, then all of a sudden they all pick it up? Weird.. Also, Ovi just needs a Camel ride. Been writing him off every year for the last 4 or 5 it seems. They don't call him the Great8 for nothin'!!    Barring another major injury, he'll retire with 900+, I have no doubt.

I think it'll be tough for Ovi to get 19 in 31 games left the way he's looked lately unless he can throw in some 2 goal games.  He would have made it easily without the injury.  That really derailed his season.

I think (hope) he'll get 8-10 more this year.
