I see a lot less of a drop-off with Gretzky, although neither player elevated their production in the playoffs.
It's really interesting to compare those numbers with the two biggest stars of today:
Crosby regular-season points/game: 1.29
Crosby playoffs points/game: 1.14
Ovechkin regular-season points/game: 1.12
Ovechkin playoffs points/game: 0.98
Other notables:
Jagr regular-season points/game: 1.11
Jagr playoffs points/game: 0.96
Sakic regular-season points/game: 1.19
Sakic playoffs points/game: 1.09
Howe regular-season points/game: 1.05
Howe playoffs points/game: 1.02
Dionne regular-season points/game: 1.31
Dionne playoffs points/game: 0.92
But the one I think really stands out is this:
Messier regular-season points/game: 1.07
Messier playoffs points/game:
1.25
