Jesus ****ing Christ Ovechkin has over 80 points? He might break some records at this rate.

I wish, it would be nice to break Gretzky`s goal record of 92 or maybe catch Mario`s 199 point production in 89.

I still argue that Lemieux would have broken Gretzky's goal record if he wasn't ill or injured so much. He was such a dominant player that I believe he scores 900 goals.

What would it take to let me borrow Ovechkin for a few games in my BAP with the Blue Jackets?

Thomas/Johansson/
Perreault/Ovi, Godfrey?

Washington Post:


4/2/2011: Finally being cleared to play, Thomas Fleischmann re-enters the line-up after missing a couple of games with a sore shoulder. With his return, someone had to go.

"I`m glad I`m back. Sitting up in the press box is no fun." Fleischmann.

One of these two players, Marcus Johansson and Mathieu Perreault, were most likely to be recalled back to Hershey because of thier two way contracts. And after a two game analysis (Monteal and Tampa) Johansson (29NHL games, 4-11-15, 1) was the one sent down.

"It sucks, I thought I was doing well. But if you look at the numbers, I guess my fellow player is doing much better." Johansson.

Perreault, who has only played in 16 NHL games this year, has potted 5 goals and tallied on 9 others while posting a big +9. Since the All-Star break, only 2 games though, he has been ripping it up with 4 goals and 2 assists (Must be the added PP time he has been granted).

"I was called up and I want to make a great impression. I want to stay." Perreault.

Another player who has been on fire since the All-Star break has been Ovi, who has kept up his playmaking affair with 5 assists, he also tallied 2 goals.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

4/2/2011: Godfrey, who was called up from Hershey to fill in with the Green and Poti trades, has more or less played a defensive shutdown role on the 3rd pairing - splitting time with either Sloan or Erskine. And has down farily well sporting a +7, but a unique talent has been witnessed, his slap shot.

"He doesn`t get alot of time on the ice so we don`t get to see it often, but when he does wind up, man its a howlitzer." Boudreau

Rated at 93 by EA, his shot is hard but not very accurate, which is something he will need to work on during the rest of the season and off-season. To help weld his gift, Godfrey will begin to play on the 2nd PP unit and hopefully garner some excellent specialty team experience.
