I think the argument is that in this day and age where goalies and defensemen are actually athletic, goals are way harder to come by than the old days. Couple that with the lockouts and COVID Ovi faced and the feat is simply stunning.
So if you take away COVID and the lockouts, Ovi’s goal scoring total is dizzying.
