Nah, don't think he was talking about your ratings. More the other opinion given.

I don't think their should be a huge gap between two players who produced almost identical point numbers for the past two years

It might be the fact that I value goals more than assists so despite them having the similar point totals, I do not feel that they are the same. It is possible to score without anyone assisting. It is not possible to assist without anyone scoring. I don't think that Jamie Benn is a bad player, I just think he can't be compared to Ovechkin. My biggest problem with assists in the nhl is that secondary assists are given. To make matters worse, secondary assists carry the same weight towards your point total as a goal. If you pass the puck to Ovechkin at center ice and he dekes two players and score, you still get an assist. To me, that is farcical. Again, I'm looking at this from a different point of view. In European soccer for example, you are only given an assist when you put a player in a better position to score. If that rule where put in place in the nhl, the inflated point totals would drop severely. The elimination of bogus assists would be beneficial to the nhl in many ways.

I thought Daniel Sedin would sneak in there near the bottom of the Top 10.

Ovechkin looks like a caveman or a zombie in that screenshot. Eek
