Congratulations to PFT. Incredible, incredible moment.
Yeah, I mean, it's been great watching him. That's been one guy that pretty much since I was in college, I've gotten the pleasure of watching Ovi score that same goal over and over and over and over again. Some call him a one-trick pony. That's not the case, but he is very, very good at that one trick. Yes.
So that goal that he scored, it was awesome to see him score it from his office against the Islanders. That's the same place where Gretzky scored his last goal, too. They did it in the exact same number of games. I noticed that Memes was running the account today, so he made sure to post about all class by the Islanders congratulating Ovechkin. That was the first thing that he posted today.
That was the first goal content? No, the first goal content. He had a graphic. And then the first highlight after that goal was the Islanders congratulating Ovi. But I agree. Memes. All class. Great job by the boys in the barn. Great win today. The game on Friday, though. I watched him play against the Blackhawks.
Big Cat, I don't know how you deal with this motherfucker, Jerry Reinsdorf, because it was on NHL Network. It was a nationally broadcast game. I couldn't watch it. I had to download an app and then pay $20 to be able to watch a month's worth of Blackhawks games.
I've been watching all the games illegally this year. I have a workaround that I will not tell, but I have a workaround that I've been watching the games illegally because he's such a piece of shit.
I don't want to give him money. He sucks. So I paid 20 bucks. I need to cancel that subscription immediately so I can get my money back. But the game on Friday was awesome because Ovi had what ended up being the game winning goal. And then he could have stayed on the ice to get a hat trick with an empty netter. And he told Carberry, the coach, no, don't put me in the game.
I don't want to break this on an empty netter. So instead we got Ryan Leonard, Ryan Leonard Skinner's first NHL goal on an empty netter that could have been Ovi's. So Ovi was like, fuck it. I know it's at home. And I don't think anybody would have given him a hard time if he got an empty netter when you take into account that he also got the game winner and it would have been a hat trick.
