Napkin math says 1.016
That drops him from 57th overall in that number to about 100th. A big drop relatively speaking but not much in the context of Duke and the Coyotes, it's a very good number either way. Yes with context being required.
My issue with the tweet wouldn't be that he's using an obvious favorable stat for Duke to extol his virtues, that's kinda the point
The fallacy in the tweet is comparing him to the names he compared him to indirectly. Most of those guys aren't even in the top 100 for G/60.
In fact he'd still be above most of them even with the 2 games removed because about half the names in the tweet are playmakers with a high profile or guys who are good at everything but play buckets of minutes due to team circumstance/ability. Giroux,Eichel, McDavid, Barkov, Toews, Draisatl. Guys who can score some goals obviously but not immediately who you'd think as obviously going to lead a number like G/60. McDavid wasn't even in the top 100 last year and he won the Hart. G/60 is where the Laine's and Ovechkin's live.
The Giroux one is especially egregious. Duke SHOULD have a higher G/60 number than him if he's going to stay in the NHL. That's his primary skill. Giroux is about .8 g/60 over the last 8 years or so for example. Nothing wrong with that number at all since Giroux is good for about 45-50 assist a year.
