The Capitals have averaged 3.1 goals per scored since Ovechkin made his debut for them. That's literally half the goals scored per game than the Oilers with Gretzky.
The fact that Ovechkin has scored even half the goals that Gretzky did is remarkable.

Oh here we go...its the 'Era' stuff.
I dont get it, go back and watch 70s and 80s hockey...its awful. Its like they found a bunch of unemployable hobos, gave them skates and then started a League as a tax dodge.
