I know it’s just the start of the season but

I don’t think Ovi can do it

It's a bit early for that, Ovi has 3 years left under contract and he needs 73 goals to pass Gretzky, Ovi needs about 24 goals/year to reach it, that's very much obtainable for Ovi

Just saw he was without a shot last night. Taking a quick look, I don't think that has happened since 11/11/2021.

I think he'll play well into his 40s tho if he needs to just to get it. Question is how long the Caps are willing to continue to put off the inevitable rebuild to support him

He was a liability yesterday and killed the the power play which is what he is best at and he can’t even do that. He had so many looks as the clock was running down and this guy passed it.

Yah but it’s becoming a more probable outcome that he doesn’t

In general how they didnt think to take Jones or Stalock just till Vasilesky was ready just feels odd

In the words of Mondo, season is over, Dach hurt, Guhle hurt, Reinbacher hurt, special teams are absolute garbage

How Dallas esque to start the season with two games going to penalty shots.

At least the fans are getting bang for their buck.
