Oh, I see, it's Mario stuff. It's not about "compiling" or not, there isn't anything new or interesting in Ovechkin's game now versus 2019. So, it doesn't matter to me for the question at hand.
Assuming he comes out with more of the same this year, it won't change my opinion because I've already seen this player to the fullest extent. Whether he quits tomorrow, has a 0 goal season, has a 42 goal season, breaks the record, ties the record, falls one short, whatever it is, has no bearing any longer for me unless a trivia question comes up about where he falls on the goals list.
Like I said, he could have quit five years ago too, I'd still have him way, way up on the list in terms of goal scorers as it pertains the thread. Hell, he could have quit a good ten years ago and I don't think it would have changed all that much. I got it.
If there is some positive adaptability to the game, then that's interesting...but otherwise, meh...it's like Connor McDavid having a six point night against Kingston in the last regular season of his draft year...like, "you didn't already make up your mind about him already? You don't already have all your notes? It's a game against Kingston that altered something...?"
