- Bryan Hayes, Jeff O’Neill and Jamie McLennan discuss the Toronto Raptors losing skid, different types of jerseys that fans buy, why there shouldn’t be a preference for the Toronto Maple Leafs first round playoff opponent and more. The boys are joined by Monumental Sports Network Capitals analyst and former NHLer Craig Laughlin to discuss Alex Ovechkin’s scoring prowess down the stretch, can he catch Wayne Gretzky’s all-time goal record next year, the Capitals unexpected playoff push this season and more. They also discuss Hayes’ lasagna and whether or not he might’ve accidentally revealed major information on who makes it.

Obviously getting rid of Kuznetsov/Backstrom being done/Mantha. Oshie/Pacioretty being old.
Next year they might push younger guys on team or sign/trade for a #1/2 Center/Wingers.
I don't see them making playoffs but definitely being creative/putting better guys around Ovi.
Would they sign Reinhart,Guentzel,Lindholm,Teravainen,Henrique,Duchene,Monahan,Toffoli,Tarasenko,?
Maybe trade for Dubois with retention/sweetener?
Leonard has few more years NCAA,Cristall.even if young guys arnt ready they seem to always have Russians maybe Barabanov,Trenin,lyubushkin,Podkolzin find a way Washington.
Let’s all talk over each other and act like that’s normal
Next year the Caps will pay someone >$12M to get Ovi the record (Marner🤷🏻♂️)
The only one getting the record for ovi is ovi himself.
@@ozzydo2314 ya, maybe every other year than this. watch a Caps game where everything goes to Ovi ….. at the expense of the team (who were sellers at the deadline)
@@Denimsmith2023 Dude they lost both their top 6 C's, Backstrom injury retirement and Kuzy has been a ghost for nearly 2 years. His dad died and the rumor is he was hurt in the offseason. He had 92 goals in the previous 2 seasons and his 36 year old season is the best in modern hockey history, better than Crosby's bTW
He deserves the benefit of the doubt.
I bet dubas was telling him to walk back his comments always, as soon as bro leaves Keefe stops doing that coincidence i think not
January 26 2026, Wayne was the one! 🔮
Ovechkin is the greatest goal scorer ever. Got screwed by 1.5 lockouts and a over hyped flu.
I hope he gets to 1000.
Not to mention he began his career when scoring was way down. Imagine he began his career now. He could be scoring 70 each year
@peterbrown1435 when you adjust for eras, ovechkins 65 goal seasons is better than the time Gretzky scored 92. It's second all time only behind Hull. For Era adjusted stats 9 of his seasons are in the top 20 all time
he easily would be chasing 1,000 right now yah if the 2012-2013, 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 seasons had been full seasons. In 2012-2013 he had 32 goals which would've put him around 64 goals in a full 2 game year and had 48 in 2019-2020 which wouldve put him at 57-58 in a full 82 game year and had 24 in 2020-2021 which would've put him at prolly 45-46 goals in an 82 game campaign to put him at around 885-890 right now.
@@ozzydo2314 This guy knows his stuff.
100% hater lol
Who the leafs play is irrelevant. They will get bounced either way. Prepare for it. They have zero killer instinct to win in the playoffs. Reality.
It's happened 6 out of last 7 times. No ones going to be surprised if it happens again.
Envy is a killer 😅
No!
No..
He most likely will. He's on a 60 goal pace now. He hadn't been the same going back to last season since the death of his father but the hockey legend is back.
These last two games he's back to playing like the first half.I don't think he will even get 30.
@@PROGROCK-tr9hw stil 9-10 more games so just 4 more goals is still doable
@ethanparker7900 doable but not likely.1 in his last five.With only 7 games left, 1 more is probably it.Too bad a couple of the 5 he had taken back this season would have counted.
@@PROGROCK-tr9hw 3 more goals in 7 games is still likely and yes he did have a few taken back like that one on december 30 against nashville what a joke but it is what it is
I could see it happening by April 2025 at the earliest. If its not then then he definitely will by October 2025 100%. If he did it sooner than april next year that would be even better
April 2025 at the earliest, but most likely November or December of 2025. Not DEFINITELY by October. You're assuming his career pace of 0.60. His pace is down and will likely continue downward next year and the year after.
@@user-ld6wo4rv8h well you never know cause ovi has always been a streaky scorer and tbh I think the reason why this year was so tough was because he has been through a lot with his personal life within the last year and it ofc takes a while to recover from such a mental state so idk hoping he can decompress and rejuvenate the best of his ability
As a Canadian it’s gonna be bitter sweet if a Russian person becomes the all time goal scorer lol
Sure, but his lineage is Polish / Belarusian, FWIW.
what does nationality have to do with anything? Who cares? It is about talent, skill, determination and effort NOT background
As a Canadian it'll be awesome when he breaks it because he deserves it. Ovi is the greatest goal scorer in history already, arbitrary record set in the worst era of goaltending or not. Top 10 all time player and the best power forward in the history of the game.
@@theroseexperience good on you to say that cause most canadian people seem to not like it simply cause he's not canadian and the truth is that nationality has nothing to do with breaking records. it is about skill, talent and effort not anything related to background like race or nationality am I right?
@@ethanparker7900 If Ovechkin was Canadian he'd be worshipped as a god, he plays the game the right way and with passion, hockey fans are weird.
No.
Not next season.
Ovechkin is way past his prime. It's over for Ovi.
Stooge
😂🤡
