Ovechkin’s power play trick, that everyone knows is coming, does Wild in overtime 5-4

I screamed it on Twitter as loud as I could. I was ripping my hair out while yelling through my TV. We yelled about it in the Gamethread. Yet, the Wild, they do not listen. Alex Ovechkin is some kind of monster on the power play. And more amazing, he does it from one general area on the ice - the left faceoff circle. Everyone knows the puck will be coming his way at one point or another, yet teams still get beaten by Number 8.

Minnesota had a decent jump in the first period, and overall, played a fine 5-on-5 game.
