Summary
Don't look now, but Alex Ovechkin is scoring goals at a torrid pace again, and JJ Regan and Nick Ashooh discuss how Ovi keeps doing it in his 16th season. Plus, the recent "discipline" for Connor McDavid pales in comparison to anything Tom Wilson would receive, and why do the Rangers seem to have the Caps' number? Also, don't miss Alexa Shaw's interview with Nick Jensen about his journey to the NHL and what Zdeno Chara has meant to him this season.

| 0:00.0 | A loaded Capitals Talk podcast today with J.J. Regan and myself, Nick Ash. You're going to hear from |
| 0:08.6 | Nick Jensen. We're also going to look at the hot streak that Alex Ovechkin's on. And more hypocrisy. |
| 0:15.8 | Just another example of Tom Wilson getting singled out by the NHL over and over and over again. |
| 0:22.5 | This isn't even a biased thing for us. This is just, there's actual evidence right there. |
| 0:27.0 | All that and more coming up next in the Capitol Stock podcast. |
| 0:30.9 | Histories! |
| 0:32.9 | His spectacular history making continues. |
| 0:38.7 | It's not a different barrage. |
| 0:40.8 | It's Lord Stanley, and he is coming to Washington. |
| 0:48.4 | It's very clear that guys like Tom Wilson and Alex Ovech can listen to this podcast, JJ, and watch the pregame show and the postgame show. |
| 0:58.8 | Because when we talk about something that we think they're going to do, a lot of times they do the opposite, |
| 1:03.8 | which is a very good thing. And mainly I'm talking about Alex Ovechkin here, because it has now been a trend, |
| 1:09.0 | especially just in the month of March alone for Alex Ovechkin with 11 goals at our time of actually. Actually, I guess by the time we're writing, you know, doing this podcast, it'll be April when he plays another game. Alex Ovechkin's gone on a nice hot streak. Remember that one point at the beginning of the season? We were worried we had one goal in eight games. And we've had the conversation about whether he's going to win the Rocket Richard. |
| 1:30.2 | And he was way behind and he keeps getting closer. I still don't think that OV will win that. |
| 1:37.7 | But I will say this. He continues to just be incredible in terms of defying father time and continuing to score at a pace |
| 1:46.5 | that makes him look like he's in his prime. He's got other guys like Austin Matthews, Connor |
| 1:50.6 | McDavid, ahead of him and all those things. But right now what we have, which by the way, |
| 1:54.7 | can very easily be our cold brood check presented by Duncan. Here's the check. Alex Ovechkin's really hot right now. |
| 2:04.0 | Yeah, I'm with you with the Rocket Richard. I knew, even with the slow start, I knew he had a |
| 2:10.6 | run in him that he was going to do something like this. He did it last year. I mean, he wasn't even |
| 2:15.2 | mentioned in the goal race midway through last season. |
| 2:18.3 | And then he scored something like eight goals in three games and vaulted himself back in the contention. |
