Todays WTF headscratcher moment of strange clarity

[Bizzle McDizzle]

RAISE YOUR HAND IF YOU EVEN REMOTELY SAW THIS COMING...

without extended time missed for injury...

Though still having a great season and top 10 in points...

t took until January 22nd - 49 games into the '10-'11 season - for Alexander Ovechkin to pass Jeff Skinner in goals this season.

And he still trails James Neal.
And is now, just barely over HALFWAY to the goal scoring lead.

#yikes.

Can't say I would have predicted this.

A few more hat tricks, and he's right back in the mix.

If anyone can do it, it's him. Should be interesting to see how he operates in the postseason this year.

another odd stat:
he only has 2 powerplay goals so far, and they both came in the same game (12 seconds apart)

wow
didn't notice that.
thats crazy.
That's probably the weirdest OV goal stat of ALL.


...almost 75% of his goals are outside of the SE -- but thats a good thing.

...one third of his goals have been game winners.

 

[h X c Chris]

I have faith in his ability to finish strong!

OVECHTRICK!

Did you lose an avatar bet with Pops?

I'm scared to change it now (Flames are 8-3-3 in their last 14 games).

You should of put the Oilers logo there. The Flames might be undefeated...

Well, the Oil are headed to the lottery again (the Devils briefly tied them for 29th place yesterday before Edmonton earned a point against Nashville last night). That's 2 wins in their last 16 games. As the kids say, that's fugly.

 

[Dacks]

Yeah, it was definitely a bad season to debut that "Ovechtrick" commercial.

Although, if he got one, it would put him right back into the race...

Impossible. The Oilers are a playoff team. Renney said so.

Not the smartest of things to say (it's fine for media and bloggers to spew that kind of stuff, but head coaches need to maintain realistic expectations and communciate that in post-game pressers etc.)

 

[Automattic]

LOL I forgot about that. What are the official stats since Renney said that shit?

Nothing official (too lazy for that) but they have won 2 of their last 16 games (which I believe is close to the time that Renney spouted off).
