Again, it's not my criteria and I'm just looking for a simple answer to a simple question.
Why do you consider Malkin's '12 Art Ross below Crosby's from this season?
What makes it so much more dominant?
Malkin missed 7 games yet still beat out Stamkos by 12 points despite Stamkos playing all 82 games AND it being Steven's highest scoring season in the NHL ever.
Malkin produced 1.45 PpG to Stamkos' 1.18 and he did that without much help from Crosby who only played 22 games.
Vs
Crosby who played 80 games and beat Getzlaf who missed 5 games, by 17 points.
Getzlaf, who has never had more than 91 points in a season or finished higher than 6th previously.
Crosby produced 1.30 PpG to Getzlaf's 1.13
Crosby also had the help of Malkin for 3/4's of the season.
Summing up...Crosby played more games than second place while Malkin played less games than second place.
A 2014 Crosby would have beat a 2012 Stamkos by only 7 points while playing 80 games, yet Malkin beat that same 2012 Stamkos by 12 points while only playing 75 games.
Expanding this further, a 2012 Malkin beats a 2014 Crosby by 5 points despite Malkin playing 5 less games.
Hmmmmmmm
Sorry, I just can't view Crosby's Art Ross this year above Malkin's 2012 win in anything other than pure raw total difference devoid of any kind of context.
If you haven't put things into context, what do you call your short story here?
