Would another Rocket this year cement OV as the GOAT Goal-scorer?

[Nathaniel Skywalker]

I am not sure what Lemieux has on Ovechkin in terms of goal-scoring, other than raw numbers and what-ifs.

VsX goals, best 7 years average: Ovechkin 59.5, Lemieux 54.5
VsX goals, best 10 years average: Ovechkin 56.5, Lemieux 49.9

Goals leads over #10 in goals, in %
Ovechkin 63-61-52-52-50-44-43-30-26-15-6
Lemieux 85-47-46-29-28-5-4-0

Goals leads over #5 in goals, in %
Ovechkin 51-43-40-39-38-32-24-19-7-4-0
Lemieux 67-37-35-15-4-4

And I know Lemieux missed a lot of time and was a much, much better playmaker, but you nearly have to imagine a second career for Lemieux in terms of goal-scoring, just as good as the one he had, to put him on the same level as Ovechkin as a goal-scorer.



It is Howe/Hull/Richard territory, and that's the leading group.

Your obsession with % over 10th place is very taxing

This could very well be his last Rocket, with guys like Laine, Matthews & now McDavid finding his scoring touch.

Don't count OV out yet. He has been counted out to many times. When will you guys learn. Despite his age he is in great shape, and has rarely gotten hurt

It's lauhable how easy it was to score in the 80's/90's ...

JUST LOOK AT ThE VIDEOS FROM ThE 80s/90s

------------- Put O.V. in a time-machine and back to 80s/90s ---- OV wud score 100 6oals in a season, NO QUESTION.
