The Rangers won the Presidents’ Trophy with 114 points in the regular season and started their postseason with a sweep of the Capitals. TSN Hockey analyst Martin Biron joins SC with Jay Onrait to discuss if the Rangers deserve more respect as legitimate Stanley Cup contenders, and to question what happened to Alex Ovechkin in the series.

Let’s face it OVIE DIED…OVIE IS REAL OLD LIKE A FOSSIL LIKE JOE BIDEN…DEAD LIFELESS …should retire
We missed playoffs and you guys get in to stink it up ? Lol neat
hes here for the regular season goal record, not chase another cup
Ovi too busy fantasizing his idol tyrant Putin shirtless to focus on the series 🤦♂️
Since playoff goals don't count toward his personal record, he doesn't care. That's you captain. POS.
The problem is Ovechkin has aged like a fruit-fly.
Gretzky cursed him…you are never to break my record. You are RUSSIAN WITH PUTIN …only CANADIAN PLAYERS HAVE A SHOT LIKE McDAVID
Same as the leafs. Doesnt give a fuck. Hes got his money.
Super simple…..he’s old😅
Dont worry Waynus your records are safe
Time to change/rearrange/update that background, Marty.
Keep disrespecting the rangers!
At this stage of Ovechkins career, he'll be 39 in September, he's got his Ring and now hes gunning for Gretzkys record. He has 2 years left on his contract and i think he will do it.
He had to be injured
Marty would be split in half 😂
What's wrong with the great 8 simple Father time is catching up to him.
Alex Ovechkin goes pointless is series sweep. He should retire. why play one another season and go out even worse than this.
Rags PP might just cool off cause they’re gonna have to play a halfway decent team next round.
he has zero burst, no quickness. lets just hope he stays healthy enough to get Waynes goal record.
OV is worn out…and out of shape.
It doesn't matter. He has nothing to prove. NHLs greatest goal scorer ever. Matthew's might score lots but has nowhere near the drive ovi had
Im sorry but Ovi was absolutly useless out there just awful to watch
He doesnt care, hes got his cup. He just needs to pass the great one in goals and hes gone
Washington is a team solely for Ovechkin to break records. As a fan this is bs. retire.
Ovi's almost 40, he's already won a Cup, the Caps barely made it into the playoffs and their next Cup win will happen long after Ovi is retired, the Rangers have a very deep team that was almost 25 points better during the regular season and playoff goals don't count towards Gretzky's record. Ovi was checked out mentally before the puck was dropped in Game 1.
He’s only interested in continuing his career to beat Gretzky’s goal record.
He old and no one to feed him the puck
What happened?! He’s 38 years old. That’s what happened. I guess he stopped taking his PEDs before the playoffs.
31 goals hmm who does he play with again?
It wasn't regular season and his efforts don't go towards chasing gretz is record is what people will say but the truth is he's fuckin old dog
Man i feel for caps fans, having to watch there captain and legendary player cherry picking last night and not engaging in puck battles what so ever. Jeez, i miss that old ovechkin, even in 2014 when the rangers beat them ovi still had a couple beautiful goals
Wish he’d retire and leave being satisfied with a superstar career. If he can’t skate hard for entire game and has to coast it for a couple seasons just so he can hang in to break a record then…? Seems like taking an entire career of highlights and respect just to leave that behind and be remembered for dogging his last seasons for personal goals and ego no? Will the excitement of the record be the same and worth it if he limped in to the last 100 goals of it?
Dubas should acquire Ovi when his value is low! Imagine the PP features Ovi, Crosby, Malkin, Karlsson and Letang!
