Of course he has a high shooting %, he scores tons of goals. But wait! Hold the phone! He has relatively poor advanced numbers and doesn't drive possession well, and this must be the be-all end-all that overrides everything else so he must not be very good, right?
It's like you and they seem to think this is wayyy more important than the counting stats, which is bull####!

I don't know a thing about advanced stats. I know he's a frustrating player to watch, and the quote I bolded is in line with what I see when he plays.
By the way, your line about shooting percentage/goals is an incorrect assumption. Ovie always has low shooting percentages but he takes a TON of shots. A high shooting percentage usually means a guy is extremely skilled, or had a lucky season and is about to come back down to earth.
And as long as you've got a Leafs avatar no one cares what annoys you.
