'Greatest player I've ever watched': Fans excited as Connor McDavid passes Alex Ovechkin for playoff points in record time
Connor McDavid (via Getty Images) Connor McDavid has officially passed Alex Ovechkin in NHL playoff points—and did so in jaw-dropping style. The Edmonton Oilers captain reached this benchmark in 69 fewer games than the Washington Capitals icon, further propelling discussions of his status among the all-time greats. During a playoff season dominated by his play, Connor McDavid's latest feat has enthusiasts and experts both lauding his otherworldly consistency and production. Connor McDavid's playoff points jump over Alex Ovechkin , fueling GOAT debates In what one can say is one of the most dominating playoff performances in recent NHL history, Connor McDavid has passed Alex Ovechkin in career postseason points, despite playing many fewer games. Whereas Alex Ovechkin, with his goal-scoring ability, has had a legendary playoff career, Connor McDavid's speed and points-per-game average are leaving people agog in the hockey world. As has been noted in a recent fan conversation, not only are Connor McDavid's statistics surpassing legends such as Alex Ovechkin, but they are also putting him in rare company with Wayne Gretzky and Mario Lemieux, the only two players to have higher playoff point-per-game averages. As one Reddit user commented, "INSANE!!! I think maybe only Gretzky and Lemieux had better PPG playoff stats." undefined 'At 28? Incredible,' another said. Redditors reacted with a combination of admiration and amusement. One said, "He's playing NHL25 on PlayStation while everyone else is on Nintendo playing 'Blades of Steele' lol." Another commented, "You can easily see that McDavid has surpassed Ovechkin's POINT TOTAL in less GAMES PLAYED. He is out producing Ovechkin at nearly double the pace. If McDavid never played another playoff game for the rest of his career, he would retire with a higher number of points, and higher PPG than Ovechkin." While some commenters brought up the different scoring eras, the overall consensus was clear—McDavid is doing things few have ever done. A fan summed it up best: 'Greatest player I've ever watched." Also read: Sam Bennett makes it personal with childhood friend Connor McDavid as Stanley Cup turns fierce While Ovechkin is one of the best goal-scorers in history, McDavid is building a legacy based on universal domination. If he keeps going this way and continues making long runs in the playoffs, it isn't crazy to consider that he can break records that used to be thought of as unbeatable. And as people are now remarking, it's not McDavid's era. It may one day be his league.
