So far, Capitals look slow.

They really struggled to keep up with the Senators speed.

Ovy only has 4 shots on net so far this season too. He was their biggest weapon.

It would not bother me at all to see Ovi lose a step and not reach the all time goal record.

I want to see him break the record. It also seems like his team is giving him a wildly unfair advantage by prioritizing Ovy breaking the record over actually competing.

Gretzky also quit while he was still a serviceable player. He didn't hang on past the point he should have, just to pad his records.

3 games is a pretty small sample size. We'll see how Ovy progresses.

He's only 35.

Just slow starts all around? Veterans clashing with coach?

Gotta say, 3 points in 4 games looks good on Phillips.

If you look at the way he's getting his points, it makes it even more impressive. He's being tenacious and forcing his way into scoring positions. Exactly what everyone said he couldn't do in the NHL due to his size.

So we're not pulling for the Putin fan boy?

This is good to know.

This board is funny. Matthew Phillips has 3 points in 4 games, he looks good. Also this board, Lindholm sucks and his value is falling. Lindholm has 6 points in 6 games.

Are lots of people stating Lindholm sucks? He's been killer on the PK and playing PPG hockey. Most of the complaints I'm seeing are aimed at Kadri, Huberdeau and Vladar.

Lindholm is looking for an 8 year contract at more than $9MM per season.

Phillips is just trying to stay in the NHL.

Their goal lines are entirely different.

You're right. One guy has played over 700 games and has earned his contract by being a top-20 center in the NHL. The other guy has played four games and hasn't earned a damned thing.

Not sure what’s going on, but Phillips only played 3:18 tonight, and 5:38 the night prior. 1 point in the last 5.

Is the experiment coming to a close?

You don't come across as being very surprised about this.
As if you saw this coming a mile away.
