Ovechkin and the playoffs:

But since 1997-98, when teams first dropped under 2.8 goals per game for the first time since the Original Six era, you can take players who have played at least 30 playoff games and only Mike Cammalleri has scored more playoff goals per game than Ovechkin, 0.53 to 0.50. Ovechkin can’t produce it at will, because almost nobody can. Sidney Crosby scoring two Olympics-winning goals is a sort of magic. Crosby scoring in just one of his four Game 7s — against Ovechkin’s Capitals, twice — is more representative.
Take the GP numbers down to 22 and Kessel is tops.

The playoffs can be a small sample size weirdo sometimes.
