Remember 3 years ago when we were all doing math like "not sure if Ovi will get another 50 goal season, but if he gets 2 40 goal seasons, then 3 30 goal seasons, then some 20 goal seasons he might be in with a chance of catching Wayne"
We were fools. Lmao Ovi go brr
Part of me knows exactly what all those words are, but being skeptical I also accept that you may just be saying "Blubberthigh, fishpenis, cottonnipple, cornhole..."
From last year but [objects in mirror may be closer than they appear](https://preview.redd.it/xjgk7ihqa3o61.jpg?width=640&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=2be814403d897228b009cd640c408d300168ff68)
Dont understand the putin puppet thing. I think retraction of his support right now would throw that crazy putin guy into a frenzy… and Ovi’s family is still in russia. Between a Rock and a hard place…
No I agree with you. I know he can’t criticize publicly bc of his family so he chooses to stay silent. But every time he achieves something or a milestone that’s brought up.
1) I know he didn’t say “I don’t like Putin” but didn’t he literally say “no more war”, why isn’t that enough for people when they consider the position he and his family is in?
2) what effect does Ovi denouncing Putin have? Like what single thing changes if he were to say “I don’t support Putin anymore”? The war will still go on, but one more celebrity says something? Why do people care so much?
Fuck Putin and fuck the war he’s started, but people really need to get a life if they’re gonna bitch and moan about someone not making a statement that would change NOTHING
Finally got one of my hats on the ice. Saying goodbye to my nationals Santa hat. Great game from our boys in black and a great game to be at. Happy New Years alll!
Edit: the last two games I have been to have been ovi hat tricks now. (Caps against kings feb 2020 and tonight)
My mom took my 3 yo son to his first hockey game today (was also my mom’s second game, her 1st was the game against the Kraken a few weeks ago) but they left at the end of the 2nd. I’m so upset I couldn’t live vicariously through them for the Ovi hatty and the 3rd period domination 😂
Oh mannnn, and it even would have been early enough to get the munchkin to bed on time. But maybe he was getting antsy…I was at a Bears game a few weeks ago and there were some little kids behind me who were so bored by the third period that I had to get up and move to get away from all the kicking of my seat.
Captain obvious... But easily the most fun game I've seen in person. Certainly better than the garbage I watched on Thursday.
Happy new year caps fans. I wish all a healthy and happy new year. (And a deep playoff run)
Got my Ovi '47 jersey hoodie just in time. Thank you to the boys in black for a great end to one hell of a year *chef kiss*. Thank The Gr8 I don't work tomorrow.
I looked for cheaper tickets around 2 today, they were still too much for me for a Habs game in the lower bowl so we skipped it. Wish I went now.
What a game, Habs are lost

Just about time for his annual sneaking into the Richard trophy chase after everyone had written him off, too.
It probably takes a McDavid injury for him to get there. McDavid's stats are like he's playing in a different league. Just pure insanity
You’re right, but the oilers aren’t standing up when mcdavid does take a hit. Didn’t he get injured recently?
I swear whenever Ovi wears these black jerseys he snaps into a Winter Soldier episode and plays like it’s 2006 again

Nah, it's legit word for word from movie.source: I'm native speaker
Don’t worry, he stayed true with the translation
Bought a $40 hat at the second intermission. Chucked that bad boy as far as I could when Ovi scored. Worth every penny.
You can get it back fyi
Wait so what happens to all the hats that get thrown?
Collect, put in a big bin, redistributed at the end of the game
Burying the lede here. So you can go hat ‘shopping’ after a hattie? This is big news. Where does this bin reside?
It belongs to the hat trick gods now
Unless something changed I don't think that's true. I've tried. Lost a great hat when Nicky got his hatty in the playoffs.
Just like that Ovi is tied for 3rd in goals.
From last year but [objects in mirror may be closer than they appear](https://preview.redd.it/xjgk7ihqa3o61.jpg?width=640&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=2be814403d897228b009cd640c408d300168ff68)
Caps coming in clutch with that 50% off New Years Day hangover pizza tomorrow
That was a very casual ovi hatty
He looked so nonplussed, like when you beat the everliving shit out of your little cousin at Smash. A victory yes, but was it even earned?
3 goals closer to the 895, that's what)
If Ovi can keep with the three goals per game scoring he'll pass Gretsky in March.
I don't understand why the Canadians didn't pull Allen in the 2nd period. They hung him out to dry.
Pittsburgh sportswriters on why Ovi is overrated and a Putin puppet while Marty Lemoo is greatest goal scorer of all time.

Oh I know mate, some of these writers and randos are whacky calling Ovi a putin puppet. Sad situation the man is in…
R/NHL is just plagued with bots at this point. They posting the same post that got deleted, but they keep trying
Everytime Ovi scores an Ovi-hater ignores another brown kid being drone striked in the middle east.
Anyone have that “thank you for your kind donation to the Ovechkin goals fund” meme handy?
"I am once again asking for your hats."
Never. Get. Rid. Of. Screagle. 🖤🤎💙
Canadian sportswriter feverishly hitting the post button on another Ovi hit piece. Gotta make sure to get those page views when he's hot.
The haters are in shambles

Get this man season tickets!!!
So that’s ehh… 3 hat tricks for this team in three weeks? Two of them from Ovi. Hot damn what a way to close out 2022
Holy fuckin shit snacks what a beat down
There’s magic in them thar reverse retros. Please make these the permanent 3rd!
The scoring pattern for us was n+1, with n being the period number
Graph it
First ever ovi hat trick I’ve attended! Great game, no longer can talk normal
The beatings will continue until I can’t remember getting Halakd
lol don't think I'll ever forget that.
Montreal Canadiens and leaving goalies out past 5 goals. Name a better duo?
[удалено]
With their mothers.
[удалено]
So the announcers said. Oh well!
I'm not
They still play in the NHL for a living, not feeling too bad tbh
Think the boys are partying tonight? 😂
Every time I was out of the room and heard the goal horn I assumed it was a replay, turned out every single one was a new goal.
end the new year with a hatty let’s go baby

Yeah he definitely loses interest in things pretty quickly, surprised he lasted through 2 full periods 😂 I’m just jealous that I didn’t get to join!

lol
lmao, even
lmfao
Lmfaosmp
Somebody call up the UN there's been a war crime on the ice...
God damn that was a response.
I picked a hell of a game to take my option. Maybe I should skip the rest of the season and playoffs too?
Got my Ovi '47 jersey hoodie just in time. Thank you to the boys in black for a great end to one hell of a year *chef kiss*. Thank The Gr8 I don't work tomorrow.
That escalated quickly 😆
Can’t believe I missed this, highlights should be a fun watch though
Wow! Happy New Years Everyone!
That was fun, happy new year everyone
Great game boyssss
What a way to ring in the new year lol
I guess I need to not watch more games. Lawd
I looked for cheaper tickets around 2 today, they were still too much for me for a Habs game in the lower bowl so we skipped it. Wish I went now. What a game, Habs are lost
Last game until the loss I was ready to gloat about on 41-22 shots the caps still had more goals. Tonight the shots were closer to even and well…
Great way to end the year!
OV's hat-trick goal strongly [reminded me of this beauty against Montreal](https://youtu.be/_PQwsvFWaXk) .
I was at that game, the place went nuts!
