Ovechkin hitting 60?

[Penguinsfanatic 0]

Do any of you guys think he is gonna do it? I really thought he was going to but he has been held scoreless in 5 games and it will be 6 tonight if he doesn't score.....I was really hoping he would because it has been too long since some one did it which the last one to do it was Mario back in 95-96 when he had 69. There is still time but he picked a bad time to hit a goal slump lol

It seems like he's turned into a play-maker rather than a scorer recently. Maybe he changed up his game or something?

No he is still using the shoot first ask questions later mentality...a lot of the assist he gets are bounces off of a save/block to one of his teammates.

I'm thinking he'll get around the mid 50's mark.

He's in a slump right now but we all know when he heats back up (which should be soon), he will be potting them in bunches.

It's Yoko Ono!!!

His girlfriend, who is a student in Russia is over here. They met online, and he has admitted to texting her between periods.

It's Tony Romo all over again!!!!!

He had almost not shots on goal (compared to usual) in the game last night agaisnt Minnesota, I've never seen him so annoynemus.

But damm that most have been a funny moment for his girlfriend when they were chatting online...

So what's you real name?

Everyone seems to forget that Jagr had 62 goals that season.

I think like all goal scorers he is trying to over compensate his recent "slump" by passing it too much. He seems a step off which is probably due to the flu going around the team.

Either way he will be back in no time.

yeah but Mario did it in 12 less games than Jagr who played all 82

But Mario had an unfair advantage, more talent.

Not if he keeps drinking like this...

[habookus 1]

wasn't Bure the last player to hit 60 goals? In like 99-00'.

Edit: forget that, it was 59 in 00-01', my bad.

Finally the slump is over

[Penguinsfanatic 0]

yeah but can he keep putting them in

[Xi Retlah iX 0]

hes 'kept putting them in' all season. its not like he scored 50 something goals on some ridiculous streak.

[hockeysc23 0]

11 goals in 16 games. I think Ovie can. If the Caps make the playoffs its because Ovie did it.

I think #50 will be the hardest. He has been suffering from the flu, and it has been noted he hasn't been happy with his shot and energy etc.

[Super Star 0]

got to 50 so just 10 more

[RadioGaGa 162]

Backstrom just sent him in solo for #50....

Awesome!
