All of these players play on the PP1. You can say OV gets more PPTOI, I can say that's because he's better than everyone else and gives his team the best opportunity to score.
You could say that but it would be false.
Ovi has 19 PPP which is tied for 20th in the league and 11 PPG which is tied for 6th, along with 5 other players.
He is 34 in PPP despite having a huge edge on all other forwards in PP TOI.
Since he plays more on the PP one would think he might produce more?
He does lead the league in ESG, along with Jeff skinner at 28 goals.
If these other guys were as big of a threat I'm sure their coaches would give them the time because I'm pretty sure everyone wants to win.
Other guys are bigger threats and produce more but perhaps their coaches are catering more to their teams rather than their captain?
But you're bringing up PP time like it's a negative or something, it's still part of the game. Also, regardless of PP time, guys like Kane, McDavid, Draisaitl play ~2min more per game than OV. Ice time is such a lame excuse anyway though.
Ask anyone who has ever played or even watched hockey, it's easier to score on the PP than at ES, it's pretty obvious.
Ovechkin is the greatest goal scorer of all time and will likely win the Richard this year but the end is coming to a great run as soon as next year.
