A mere 8 years left on Ovie's contract with a cap hit of $9.5 million. Could the unthinkable happen and the Cap buy him out after next season?

They play it after every stoppage of play.

Here's my take on Ovechkin: When he was at his best, he played a style that no human being could sustain. He played such an over-the-top hitting style, skating almost out of control and shooting from a wider array of angles. When he started to be more of a perimeter, stationary player he lost a lot of what had made him such as a special player. But if he kept playing the other way, he'd have gone the way of Eric Lindros in terms of his body betraying him prematurely.

Bill I don't mean to be a wiener but its pretty obvious. As soon as that whole steroid scandal broke his play has fallen of a cliff... Somehow I don't think that is just a coincidence

Nah, Jonesie's playoff monologue on Alexander Radulov was even more scathing, and actually more on point. At least Ovechkin had five points in the last two games heading into tonight. He's been bad tonight.

I got up, made popcorn, and watched that a few times on the DVR. Amazing.

I do, but timing an art. These guys think they're Phil Rizzuto.

And thanks for understanding the name and not equating it with math.

So you think his change in play is a conscious decision by his or the organization's part?
- eayost


Not sure, but the timing correlated more or less to his return from a shoulder injury during the 2009-10 season (the first significant injury of his career). He was noticeably less aggressive when he returned, and pretty much has been ever since.

They don't need to. It's now an earworm for every hockey fan in the Delaware Valley.

Also seemed to play a lot more passively after the couple of suspensions he served, but I might not remember correctly.
