Caps are so nasty man.

Big and mean. Love watching them play.

Well, he has about 2 weeks of games before they play the Blues. If he can get about 10 during that time, he might break it against the Blues.

Caps only have three games before they play the Blues. You are forgetting about the 4 Nations Face-Off.

[leedog68]

See this was a joke. Even if he scored 10 before playing the Blues, he would still have to score 8 against the Blues. Which still might happen.

....and Zero players in the 4 nations tournament.

64 career en goals for Ovie.

What a great story; what a great game, getting 3 in a Sunday national telecast. Ovi --- and no one else --- will ever approach Gretzky's astounding points and assists records, in part due to no one else having regular teammates like Mark Messier; Glenn Anderson; Jari Kurri; Paul Coffey; Grant Fuhr; Kevin Lowe; Luc Robitaille; Bernie Nicholls; Dave Taylor; John Tonelli; Larry Robinson; Brian Leetch; and bodyguards like Dave Semenko and Marty McSorley.

Mario Lemieux can only sigh and wonder.

[thegibby.]

...remember when the Habs had him all figured out in the playoffs. he was done.

[a smell of green grass]

Ovi got hat trick today. A friend was at the game, and he told me that the Caps are like the Harlem Globetrotters. They can hold the puck in the offensive zone, and feed Ovechkin over and over.
