OVI will break it
OVI will break it
OVI will break it
OVI will break my heart
Wants to break the record scoring on empty nets….that's BS….
That was close
No honor in empty net goals.
POW
The thing I'm more upset about, is the flyers aren't stopping him to to get closer to Gretzky, they are just playing hockey, relax NHL Jesus
Dude the 5 first words sounds like the beginning of a Sinatra song the way he speaks them
Lmaoo wow i needed this over
The only goals the man gets is open netters. That's not the record made….
NHL highlights: an empty net goal was not scored
I watched a capitals game 2 weeks ago. Ovi only plays on power plays and when there's an open net. He's so slow now. Nothing left in the tank.
Flyers are the most hated team in the NHL After this low level bush League move.
I want everyone to look at how selfish Ovi is. He’s standing there waiting on a pass while his teammate has 4 flyers pinning him on the boards…..
Let’s his teammate get swarmed by Flyers looking for his cheap and dirty goal while they do all the work.
This clip just shows why Ovi couldnt win for almost his entire career. Why dig for the puck when you can just stand still and wait for a pass. Same reason the leafs always struggle in the playoffs too.
No player in league history has worked for or celebrated empty nets goals more than Ovechkin 😂
