Paul Bissonnette

Steve Levy kind of quarterbacked it.

and it was just all these people uh from the the dc area just communicating to ovi um in person just how much of an impact they made on their lives and uh and and you know i think that obviously he got the attention because the rumor is that he's going to be um done with but i can only imagine the video that'll come out for sid when it's his time to finally hang him up and

I don't know, like I said on the broadcast too, like the volatility of me thinking he's retiring to not retiring, it's like a stock market.

I'm like up and down, up and down.

You know, you come into the season, the guy selling season tickets who won actually, he won a free trip because he sold the most season tickets for the Capitals, which was nice.

He puts out the email, hey, Ovi's last season, get your season tickets here.

Well, I was getting there, Murr.

I was going through the volatility.

Well, you bookmarked my volatility, but then all of a sudden you're like 60%

70 games go by and this guy hasn't taken a D zone draw.

So you're thinking there's no way a guy who a coach wouldn't rely on, who could put out there for a D zone face-off, even though we scored over a thousand goals in this league, regular season and playoff for sure.

He's done.

Then all of a sudden he does get a D zone draw.

He scores like seven goals in seven games.

He hits the 30 goal mark for 21 consecutive seasons or whatever it is, 2021 2021.

And their team now goes on the run where they're not statistically eliminated from playoffs.

And then every question he's getting before the game and after the game, he's swatting away and there's not one ounce of emotion in him.

So that leads me to believe he's not retiring.

And he leads the team in scoring.

Leads the team in scoring.
