[OOT] December 11 with ten games!

[direwolf]

Oilers only 1 point back of 3rd in the division, and only 4 points back of the Flames now. This timeline is starting to annoy me.

We better win tomorrow. And they have had to go like 8-1-1 in the last 10 just to get 4 points back (potentially 6 after tomorrow). They will fall off soon (hopefully).

Stick it with the pointy end.

How dare you accuse me of not already using the pointy end.

Ovi taking a page out of Gios book and getting better with age. 25 goals in 30 games.

On pace for 68; his best ever.

It's amazing how he just keeps scoring goals.

I dont see it stopping even as he slows down more either, hes adapted his game so well, when he was young he was so good off the rush and with his speed

He still has that a bit, but his positioning in the offensive zone is so good now, and that power play spot he has seems unguardable based on the fact that hes done it there for 10 years and no one can stop him

I really think he wants to pass gretzky

If he finishes 2nd or 3rd all time in goals (seems almost inevitable), and wins maybe one more Cup, I wonder if the conversation starts up again about Crosby vs Ovechkin.

Ovechkin was considered better the first 3 years of their careers, then Crosby firmly took the lead. Ovi is making a late career resurgence though.

We are lucky to have watched both these guys simultaneously. And it’s not over yet!

Similar play but more contact with the goalie the other night in Edmonton in my opinion.

thefoss1957, I'd really like to know how Brandon Manning still has a job on the Blackhawks (actually how he still even has any job in the NHL for that matter). Can you try and help answer that for me?

Some of the games of note had the Panthers and Blues score 6 goals in the 3rd period. It was 1-0 Florida in the 1st period and that was the score heading into the final period. The Blues scored 2 goals in 11 seconds early in the 3rd period to get going and eventually win 4-3 in reg time. Both teams were perfect on the PK.

The Coyotes had 2-0 lead over the Bruins heading into the 2nd period and then the Bruins turned it on scoring 4 goals in that period and won 4-3 in reg time and no goals in the 3rd period. Marchand, Krejci, and Pastrnak each had 3 points.

The Predators enjoy playing eastern conf. teams as they are 9-0-0 this season against them. Nashville beats the Senators 3-1. Ottawa started the game right by scoring 26 seconds into the game and that was it for the Sens. Both teams were perfect on the PK.

Ovechkin with a hat trick and Backstrom had 4 assists, the Capitals topple the Red Wings 6-2. The Red Wings fired 37 shots on Holtby, but, it was Detroit's goaltending that was the problem. Bernier let in 5 goals on 15 shots.
