Looks like your idea of context is a bunch of what ifs.
Talk about zero context.
Joe Malone: 143 goals in 126 games for his career.
Newsy Lalonde: 125 goals in 99 games, playoffs 15 goals in 7 games.
Seriously? In back to back posts?
Well for Joe Malone with 143 goals in 126 games. You have to ask well "what if" he had played in the 1980s, does that translate to the same GPG? Does it translate to above 92 goals a year? Above 50? What if Gretzky had played in the same years as Joe Malone - does it translate to more than 143 goals in 126 games? More than 200? 300? Less than 100?
Context is all about asking what if's.
Just because i'm more thorough and don't draw a conclusion after limited data doesn't mean i'm wrong. If not Crosby > Lemieux since you know, he beat the competition in 2014 by more than Lemieux ever did.
