All these little kids. WHAT WHAT WHAT?!. Ovie leads everything.
dominating goal scoring for a decade is remarkable
I still remember when people thought Stamkos was going to compete with him year after year
I even thought Tarasenko was going to be a threat 3 years ago

Losing MSL and having his leg split in two after crashing into the post probably has a bit to do with that. Just saying...
Unbelievable. Had a few rough years, and then came back to reclaim his throne like King Richard.
An eighth Rocket Richard trophy would put him ahead of Bobby Hull.
Amazing excellence and consistency.
He is indeed the best. Laine only scores in streaks of 5 games 15 goals, then 10 games without a single one. If the opponent is focusing on stopping Laine, he can't do anything. This is not the case with Ovi, he can overcome the adversity and score despite him being tried to be pinned down by the opposing team.
That's the thing, scoring 30+ goals or 65 points are not "rough" years. Those would be respectable numbers for any 1st line winger not named Ovechkin. It will be interesting to see who takes it between him and Laine. If those two don't win it, it will likely go to MacKinnon or Pastrnak. Still can't picture Skinner keeping up with these guys.
That's because Ovechkin learned how to use his size and speed to bulldoze through and around defenders. Laine might get there some day, but Ovechkin's been a dominant power forward/sniper since day one.
