He sounds like a fool. The closer checking and goalie play alone would have drastically reduced Gretzky's scoring. He'd have had about 400-500 maybe. Ovie, OTOH, WOULD have had 1000+ if he played in the 80's.

There’s also the salary cap to consider. Gretzky played with what amounted to an All Star team, that ultimately had to trade him for cash as the team was going broke. The cap alone would have dropped his totals.

We aren't spending anytime in the offensive zone because of poor puck management. We blame our d core but it's our forwards that are the bigger issue.
Too many times our forwards won't get the puck deep. Instead they try to get cute and end up turning the puck over. Some of our favorite Caps are actually the worst.

Great to have a win that we needed desperately, but Kollie, IMHO, just posted the real BIG, and SAD, TRUTH! Irresponsible play, and bad pass decisions, from our forwards, at both ends of the ice, is probably the biggest total difference for our demise!
Like I said, very happy for the win, but unfortunately, it looked, not so much that we played well, but fortunately, that we were able to take a small advantage of the Hens having a bad day, thank God!
When our FORWARDS, and like Kollie says, especially some of the big names, When they start playing RESPONSIBLE defense, to include a non-cheating, 200 foot game, AVOIDING the low chance, stretch passes, (sent, most often, with hope and a prayer, NOT when the rare opportunity CALLS for it), we are one of the most difficult teams to beat, as that translates into more caps puck possession time in the opponents zone!
The goals will, then simply happen for us, because of our talent, AND, the time burden placed on our struggling defense, from our opponent, is significantly reduced, i.e. less opportunities for our opponent to score on us!
Very well said Kollie!👍
