@kenhanscomb @JohnDoyle52 @RickEgan81 @NYCCapsCrew They had 2 deep playoff runs without him 1990 and 1998. One with him. But he had great teams that he choked away. The ones before he got there punched above their weight.

@TomGulittiNHL Ovechkin had 3 President Trophy) (2nd most ever). 11 Division as a player. (2nd most ever). Most times as a 1 seed in the EAST. And yet only 1 deep playoff run. That’s unacceptable. Find me another “great” in their sport who’s played in the playoffs 16 times who’s done that.

[Paul Phillips @PaulPhillipsYaD]

@kenhanscomb @JohnDoyle52 @RickEgan81 @NYCCapsCrew They had more deep playoff runs before he got there. With him nobody in sports has had more regular season team success yet only 1 deep playoff run. It’s pathetic.

[Paul Phillips @PaulPhillipsYaD]

@PaulHouse12 @spittinchiclets Ovechkin is. 2nd most presidents trophies, times being first overall seed in the conference. And the second most amount of division titles ever. And only once passed the 2nd round.

@TheRoseCompany @TimeofyourLyme @SleeperNHL One time past the second round but his career will age better lol

[Paul Phillips @PaulPhillipsYaD]

@brandon__alter @NYCCapsCrew All those great teams and one deep playoff run.

[Paul Phillips @PaulPhillipsYaD]

@SirSlimySnow @BR_OpenIce Really? How so? Crosby never had a Presidents trophy team. Ovechkin had 3. Crosby won 4 division titles. Ovechkin 11

[Paul Phillips @PaulPhillipsYaD]

@LittleYerry @duffelbagforevr @Real_RobRossi Ovechkin has 3 Pres trophy teams and 11 division titles. Most ever outside of the Yzerman Red Wings who have 4 Cups. So what’s your excuse again?

[Paul Phillips @PaulPhillipsYaD]

@Real_RobRossi Stop. He’s had more Pres trophy teams and division winners than anyone ever outside the 90s and 00s Red Wings. He’s had all time players around him.

[Paul Phillips @PaulPhillipsYaD]

@Miroshnitanko That says alot about Ovechkin as a player where the lesser teams before him had more playoff runs. It hurts his overall ranking in history.

[Paul Phillips @PaulPhillipsYaD]

@Miroshnitanko The Caps with Ovechkin have had 1 deep playoff run and a lot choking. Caps in the 90s had more deep playoff runs.

[Paul Phillips @PaulPhillipsYaD]

@Miroshnitanko Low expectations I guess

[Paul Phillips @PaulPhillipsYaD]

@Miroshnitanko The Caps literally have had deeper runs without Ovechkin

[Paul Phillips @PaulPhillipsYaD]

@Miroshnitanko Didn’t the Caps go to more Confrence finals in the 90s than they have with Ovechkin? And isn’t Ovechkin and Caps close to a 4th presidents trophy and still only one trip past the semis? Does that not bother Caps fans?

@SgtSchulzED @JoshuaZahner @sammisilber The barometer in hockey is scoring (points). That’s why they call the points leader the scoring champion. The rocket Richard trophy is newer.

@SgtSchulzED @JoshuaZahner @sammisilber Not by a wide margin at all. Hull had 7 seasons where he led in goals and 5 more in the WHA
