That said, GWG is an official stat, and it is not as irrelevant as you are asserting. the NHlL 2019 press release had this to say
With that in mind, it does indicate some level of "clutchness" if you want to call it that. But maybe clutch is not what GWG proves and I was wrong. Scoring goals after having a lead shows killer instinct. The fact the Flames were did not have that lead to them blowing multiple 3 goal leads in the playoffs. The Flames need more players who pile on goals in blowouts not less.

So scoring goals with a big lead is clutch, as is presumably any goal in a close game. How about scoring a goal when 3 behind to get your team back into the game.
Ovie is the best clutch player in the game, because ever goal he scored falls into those categories.
