You have to think there's only one way this record doesn't get broken...

Wonder how many people will understand this.

Man he is one dimensional player with that PP shot...

 

[User9992]

Man he is one dimensional player with that PP shot...

Young Ovi used to do this every game.

 

[Sinistril]

Man he is one dimensional player with that PP shot...

Doesn't even matter that he lost a step or two

Crazy A

Assist of the year

[Zuluss]

And just like that, OV and Crosby enter the first PIT-WSH game of the year tied in career points
Told ya, they'll keep leapfrogging each other

I think Ovechkin is Brett Hull 2.0, nothing more.

He’s so far away from being a complete player over his career the idea of him #5 seems certifiable to me, but agree to disagree.

MVP finishes:
Ovechkin: 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 6, 7, 9, 10
Hull: 1, 3, 3, 6

Point finishes:
Ovechkin: 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 7, 8

Hull: N/A

Goals Created:
Ovechkin: 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 4, 6, 6, 6,7, 8, 9
Hull: 1,1, 2, 4, 8

Even-strength goals:
Ovechkin: 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 5, 5, 5, 8, 9
Hull: 1, 1, 1, 7, 8, 10, 10

Led league in goals:
Ovechkin: 9x
Hull: 3x

Can't wait to see that assist reposted a thousand times whenever Midnight Judges hears somebody say Ovechkin isn't a playmaker.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

His nicest play of the game was this one at the 6:20 min mark of the video. If this goes in, it's a GOTY candidate.

 

[DaGap]

Always enjoy Ovi's Game

 

[Karl Eriksson]

#5 all time best player

 

[vippe]

Caps definitely struggling a bit with their injury woes, and it shows a bit on Ovy to - but he still managed to find the back of the net.



Will he hit 800/802 before the end of the year?

 

[Video Nasty]

#5 all time best player

If all time means since 1990, sure.

Ovy with one dimensional assist

He also had a nice one on the Draisaitl goal

 

[Calderon]

Looking at Edmonton game highlights Ovi was seemingly on the ice for all 9 goals, lol. For better and for worse... He's on a nice heater lately, though.

Wasnt on the ice for the RNH goal. Matches his -2 rating aswell as 4 of the 5 goals was on the PP for Washington.

I see this as directly supporting my argument that Ovi is Hull 2.0, yet it feels like you posted this to try to own my argument with stats or something.

Those stats show Ovi as a dominant goal scorer with limited playmaking outside of creating his own chances (which I 100% acknowledge is at the highest level). The most important stat in there is that Ovi was Top 10 for assists only three times in his career. So was Taylor Hall I think. (I don't know, I'd have to look, but that's the type of player that's lower Top 10 a few times in his career.)

Ovi is one of about a dozen players that will end his career with more goals than assists.

The list looks like this in terms of top goals to assists ratios:

Bondra: 1.3
Richard: 1.29
Ovi: 1.24
Bure: 1.18
Brett Hull: 1.14

So how is it not fair to say that Ovi is a better version of Brett Hull? Who is a better 2.0 version of?

I put their stat lines together, can you tell me which is which without names? (Obviously you can because Ovi passed him for goals, but I'm making a point)

Look at the pass

I'd say watching them play is a great way to tell the difference. Ovechkin brought more physicality, speed and creativity than Hull ever did.

The difference is a lot of Hulls success and stat finishes came in his 3 year peak. He still had some good goal placings after 92 but he was never mentioned among the leagues best players. It would be like if Ovy didn't win any trophies or do much after 2010.
