Agree. Green owns “Game Over”. Overtime Ovie for the win tonight.

He also moves into a tie for 7th with Dennis Maruk for most goals as a Capital. Tonight he past Dale Hunter and Michal Pivonka. A couple of pretty good Caps.

Impressive.

Though largely a factor of this new OTL go for broke in OT mentality.

I’m not sure I buy that, but what I do buy is more OT because teams know there’s a guaranteed point if they make it to OT.

which is why we should get rid of that pesky 1 point for an OT loss BS

While it bothered me at first, I don’t have a big on-ice problem with the point for the OT loss. The only thing that annoys me about it is that it makes the standings look stupid and confuses casual observers.

Nothing like a big ol’ pile o’ GOO to ensure a couple of standings points…

OT Hockey 2/8

by Rather Bengt 4 days ago 328 comments

Evgeny Kuznetsov hams it up as he joins the Russia men's national team for the "Sweden Games" leg of the Euro Hockey Tour in Helsinki, Finland.

There's a bit of controversy as their game against the Finns is scheduled to be played in Helsinki's outdoor Olympic Stadium. Where the daytime temps are currently approximately minus-15 degrees Celsius, with periodic heavy snow.

This interview with head coach Zinetula Bilyaletdinov is fascinating, as he frets about the weather and especially when the reporters press him on the leaked reports that Kuznetsov will be centering the top line for Team Russia, just weeks after his 20th birthday.
