Then the Oilers mission will be to get the scoring record back from Ovechkin, with little to no care about the playoffs. On one hand it will be fun to watch them accomplish nothing but on the other hand I am so very tired on their media attention.
I really hope Bedard can steal some of the spotlight away.
