Ovie enjoys having less players cluttering the ice. And despite Ovie’s 24-2 lead over Wayne, where it matters more, in playoffs, The Great One outshines The Great Eight hands down 4 to 0.

SaucyJack Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Would be far better if these links were just short clips of The OveMeister’s goals along the way toward surpassing Gordo, and not nearly 10 minute extended game highlights.

SaucyJack Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 (edited) The OveSter needs a real nickname. (Something without “Ov” in it. And something more natural than “the great eight”.) OK, so he scores “in his office” here yet again. That guy be in his office all the time. And he’s going to work for the same employer from “cradle to grave” as the expression goes. THE COMPANY MAN P.S. Nice to see the “just the goal” clip. Really nice. Nobody really cares if Washington wins any given game* just so long as Company Man keeps getting his jobs done in a satisfactory and consistent manner. * as long as they get into the top eight in the East by the end Edited November 1, 2022 by SaucyJack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaucyJack Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 Yeah, going 2-8 in their last 10 (but with 3 extra ‘you got to OT’ participation half-a-win points), The OveSter is really the only story for now in Washington. But it looks like Das Kapitals will be one of those ‘middling crew’ can they eke in stories near The End. (As long as they can start averaging 6-4 in upcoming 10-game stints.)
