I'm cheering for maximum chaos around the record goal. Lengthy review; awarded to someone else, then awarded back to Ovi.

But you just know it'll be a one-timer from the circle.

Or awarded to Ovi during the game and then the NHL taking it away 30 mins after the game like Coronato's hat trick goal earlier this month.

I wonder if anyone will smear poop on his record.

New dream scenario. On April 17 when the Caps are playing the Penguins in the final game of the season, Ovi has already tied the record and needs one more goal to beat it.

Crosby waits until Ovi was last to touch the puck and then proceeds to score on his own goal. Goal credited to Ovechkin. New record. Scored by Crosby.

Feels like it should have been at least 8 min.

Rather strong statement from Dominik Hasek in regards to the record:


https://dominik-hasek.cz/my-message-...hletes-career/


Quote:
In this context, it should be noted again that every citizen, unless he is a dissident who condemns the crimes of his country, is always, without exception, an advertisement for the actions of his country. That is simply a fact. Therefore, in the case of Russian citizens, every athlete who gets the opportunity to perform publicly is the best advertisement for the Russian imperialist war and all the crimes against humanity associated with this war.

Quote:
If someone advertises this terrible war, it automatically means its escalation and many more people killed and maimed. Unfortunately, it is the NHL that provides this advertisement for insane atrocities. This is the reality of the current NHL, which in the world of sports, along with tennis, is the best advertisement for the Russian war. Yes, the current NHL is responsible for a huge number of lost and maimed lives. These are the facts.

Quote:
In more than 3 years, the NHL has not helped or allowed Russian players to officially condemn the Russian imperialist war. This means that even those Russian players who do not agree with the Russian aggression against Ukraine have not been given the opportunity by the NHL to officially distance themselves from the actions of their country. These hockey players will live the rest of their lives knowing that many people, including their fellow citizens, were maimed and killed because of their play

But was it tipped? Or was there goaltender interference on the play?

To further annoy Gretzky fans, that goal by Crosby was also on an empty net.

Being from Czechia, the guy certainly knows what's at stake with this war. I know most people just want to let sports happen, but he's right.

Hasek has been consistent in his messaging. He’s been going after Trump as well.
