it always impressive when you tie Gretzky

 

[ArGarBarGar]

Sakic would have 8.

Apparently only when its backstrom. Marleau does it and it means nothing.

Marleau has played like 8 more seasons, but sure.

It's kind of a useless stat. Some all-time great players have never scored an OT winner (Lemieux, Ovechkin) while some mediocre players have scored OT winners (Orpik).

it's a clutch stat.

 

[Pengwins]

But I thought Ovechkin didn’t have any help from teammates in the playoffs?

 

[The Kingslayer]

Sakic at 8 is no surprise

Soon enough some idiots will proclaim him to be better than Gretzky. Because Backstrom is now.

 

[jetsforever]

it's a clutch stat.

But if your team was hypothetically so good that you never even got to overtime, you wouldn't have any OT winners
Neat stat, but not too meaningful (i.e. it shows that Backstrom is good but not that others aren't good)

I mean, Wayne himself would probably agree...just sayin

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

So Lemieux isn't clutch?

 

[DearDiary]

it's a clutch stat.

Orpik confirmed to be more clutch than Ovechkin

 

[rent free]

it's a clutch stat.

only for swedish people right?

 

[DDRhockey]

So Lemieux isn't clutch?

When is it useless to score in OT?

I cant believe People get riled up just because i posted a list.

No suprise sakic is at 8, he was clutch.

only for swedish people right?

Only one swede on that list.

 

[DDRhockey]

Orpik confirmed to be more clutch than Ovechkin

Jonathan cheecho ones scored 56 goals, so it must be useless to score goals.

??? I was agreeing with you, OT goals are a clutch stat. Which is why Orpik is clutch and Ovechkin is not

 

[Sadekuuro]

Only one swede on that list.

If you count Bob Nystrom, he's on there as well (and one of his was a Cup winner).

 

[The Grim Reaper]

This shit is opportunity and luck more than anything.

 

[Tage2Tuch]

This is surprising , a really cool stat.

Thought drury had more.

 

[Benneguin]

Why isn’t Justin Williams leading this list? I thought clutch was his middle name?

 

[Sadekuuro]

This is surprising , a really cool stat.

Thought drury had more.

Drury is another one of the 15 players who have four.

 

[shtorm2005]

But I thought Ovechkin didn’t have any help from teammates in the playoffs?

No one said he didn't had at all. He had less than Crosby for sure.
