- The Rangers won the Presidents’ Trophy with 114 points in the regular season and started their postseason with a sweep of the Capitals. TSN Hockey analyst Martin Biron joins SC with Jay Onrait to discuss if the Rangers deserve more respect as legitimate Stanley Cup contenders, and to question what happened to Alex Ovechkin in the series.

Man i feel for caps fans, having to watch there captain and legendary player cherry picking last night and not engaging in puck battles what so ever. Jeez, i miss that old ovechkin, even in 2014 when the rangers beat them ovi still had a couple beautiful goals
I really hope this record breaking goal doesn't come down to the last game of the season and then Mr. 3000 again. Instead Mr. 1,016
Same as the leafs. Doesnt give a fuck. Hes got his money.
As a caps fan. Couldn't have said it better myself.
Hope cant overcome age
Bad take, Ovi cares a ton, and puts in effort. The guy is 38 years old, he’s slowing down. And Kreider, one of the fastest players in the league, was all over Ovi the whole series. Ovi isn’t like the soft crybaby leafs at all.
@@JT-gi8rx he didn't put any effort in that series and i say that as a caps fan. He looked like he didn't want to be there
@@insertgenericusernamehere2402 I disagree, he always looks like he wants to win. He was overmatched by the Rangers, and he’s not the same Ovi from the past, because HE’S GETTING OLD! Do you expect him to be classic Ovi forever? Until he’s 45?
Dont worry Waynus your records are safe
Ovi's almost 40, he's already won a Cup, the Caps barely made it into the playoffs and their next Cup win will happen long after Ovi is retired, the Rangers have a very deep team that was almost 25 points better during the regular season and playoff goals don't count towards Gretzky's record. Ovi was checked out mentally before the puck was dropped in Game 1.
Yea so what that doesn't mean you get to not try the entire series
people like you who say this make me hate oven chicken even more. ovi didnt even have a good year. minus his two 10 game goal streaks against basement teams he had 10 goals in the remaing 60 games and finished with a -22 and will retire a minus player which is honestly incredible. all he is doing is lettng the team suffer for his personal chase. they were lucky philly fell apart cuz they should have been their. if your not willing to chase the cup you dont deserve to be known as the top scorer you need to retire. now get on the golf course.
google "ovechin+save children from fascism"... sorry but you cheer for a scumbag
What happened?! He’s 38 years old. That’s what happened. I guess he stopped taking his PEDs before the playoffs.
The problem is Ovechkin has aged like a fruit-fly.
Yes he's done.
Ovechkin hates America and the West
Hear me out
I dont think Ovi cares anymore as i think he despises (means hate) America and has tuned out.
Most people from outside the western world just hate the US under Biden as you continue to push evil (gender identity madness) and war around the world
I know american liberals dont like hearing this but the Global South and East LOVED Trump. We felt like we had a break from the wars America either starts or causes for 4 years
Ovi I am sure just doesnt give a rats arse about anything but that record
I know i wouldnt if i were him
💀
What's wrong with the great 8 simple Father time is catching up to him.
Keep disrespecting the rangers!
At this stage of Ovechkins career, he'll be 39 in September, he's got his Ring and now hes gunning for Gretzkys record. He has 2 years left on his contract and i think he will do it.
Even if he does, Gretzky was already retired by this age.
It was the first season in his career where he fell below a point a game pace. Hit 0.9ppg and decided to hang em up.
Have more respect for that.
That being said Gretzky was a playmaker. He had nearly 2000 assists. Another 42 goals by Ovi to beat Gretzky 894 isn't really even coming close to what Gretzky did. Gretzky still scored nearly twice the points as Ovi.
I don't really get chasing his record.
It's kinds like celebrating Brayden Point for having 46 goals this year to Sidney Crosby's 42 and thinking that somehow makes them comparable players.
Hate seeing great players hang around too long. People end up remembering how bad they were when they went out. Like Jagr's embarrassing end to his career with the Flames. It was just painful to watch.
@@TH-tl6sy nobody will ever touch Gretzky for Points but Goals, Ovi can do it. He'll retire soon after my guess
@@TH-tl6syit’s so much harder to score in this age 😂 ovi at 900 should be Gretzky at 1200
Ovi was worthless. A washed up, one dimensional, team cancer. Nobody likes Alexis Oldvechkin.
He had to be injured
I thought so as well.
Super simple…..he’s old😅
Jagr is old and was still producing at ovis age. Ovi body type at his age needs to train better and have a better diet plan. He isn’t young anymore where he can get away with the eating and training habits as before. He needs to adapt and change things up when getting older.
@@nabatron21 key word….. “producing” 5 shots with 0 points…..
Poor Ovi it might be time to send him to the Ukrainian frontline!
Washington is a team solely for Ovechkin to break records. As a fan this is bs. retire.
31 goals hmm who does he play with again
Ovechkin was a steaming turd the entire series.
You cannot beat age
Gretzky cursed him…you are never to break my record. You are RUSSIAN WITH PUTIN …only CANADIAN PLAYERS HAVE A SHOT LIKE McDAVID
mcDAVID feeding pinokio can't help feel like they vacation together in isreal for free
Connor also only trails Ovi by 50 in assists - in playing 786 less games. All-around game just like the Great One.
Wish he’d retire and leave being satisfied with a superstar career. If he can’t skate hard for entire game and has to coast it for a couple seasons just so he can hang in to break a record then…? Seems like taking an entire career of highlights and respect just to leave that behind and be remembered for dogging his last seasons for personal goals and ego no? Will the excitement of the record be the same and worth it if he limped in to the last 100 goals of it?
He’s only interested in continuing his career to beat Gretzky’s goal record.
Can’t stay at the top forever… better start planning for his replacement caps
Alex Ovechkin goes pointless is series sweep. He should retire. why play one another season and go out even worse than this.
Im sorry but Ovi was absolutly useless out there just awful to watch
Time to change/rearrange/update that background, Marty.
We missed playoffs and you guys get in to stink it up ? Lol neat
Glad the highlight reel showed a clear as day trip that wasn’t called
He doesnt care, hes got his cup. He just needs to pass the great one in goals and hes gone
OV is worn out...and out of shape.
31 goals hmm who does he play with again?
Marty would be split in half 😂
He old and no one to feed him the puck
OVI is OVEtR
Rags PP might just cool off cause they’re gonna have to play a halfway decent team next round.
hes here for the regular season goal record, not chase another cup
Dubas should acquire Ovi when his value is low! Imagine the PP features Ovi, Crosby, Malkin, Karlsson and Letang!
he has zero burst, no quickness. lets just hope he stays healthy enough to get Waynes goal record.
I feel its a result of aging, stress, and just overall being man on man covered by a player the entire game. You also have to keep in mind the Ukraine Russia situation. Im not saying its the sole reason for his drop in play, but it could adding on. Im not defending his bad play during the playoffs even Ovechkin himself said he played poorly. This is only my take and Im open to discussing it
It doesn't matter. He has nothing to prove. NHLs greatest goal scorer ever. Matthew's might score lots but has nowhere near the drive ovi had
