As a hockey fan just like football today’s game is different than 80-90s hockey. Gretzky was a setup man and scored with ease but goalies were not as good and pads were much smaller. As Gretzky was protected more than Tom Brady and Mahomes combined. He was probably the best all around offensive player. No one will touch Gretzky for total points or assists, the league is different now, faster, stronger and goalies much better. He is the GOAT for hockey.
Ovi is top 5 in career hits in the History of the league, the wear and tear that puts on your body is insane. I played through college and I know my body was already falling apart from shoulders, back and head injuries.
Everyone knows exactly where Ovi will setup but 500+ times they can’t stop him from scoring from that circle. He is a dedicated goal scorer and team leader.
