I need to go on a mini rant about the definition of "all time".

[SladeWilson23]

I don't want to diminish a lot of the milestones that have happened this season already.

• Malkin 500 goals
• McDavid 1000 points
• Oliver Ekman Larsson 1000 games
• Soon to be Crosby 600 goals
• Potentially Ovechkin breaking all time goal record.

What we call all time is really just regular season records. Why can't ALL TIME truly be all time and include playoffs as well?

It's just a pet peeve of mine.

1500 games vs 1300 games in Corey Perry’s case is pretty significant difference

Probably cause back in the 80’s and before over half the league was in the postseason but now only half are; even less coming if the league expands which I really hope they don’t.

I agree but I think the argument would be that the playoffs game played is too team dependent and isn't a fair competition for pure stats compilation. But I personally can't help but much prefer playoffs for evaluating players. It's where all the best teams are and where everyone is trying their hardest.

But if he went on a midget rant you'd assume he's ranting about little people, no?
