Comparison between legendary goal scorers and their seasons

Kurri and McDavid were surprising for me. Then again not old enough to have seen Kurri.
No Hull? His 90-91 season is among the best ever era-adjusted seasons. That said, I really appreciate the poster (?) pulling this data together. Didn’t think Ovechkin would be where he is. “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take” philosophy at play?
The “adjusted for era” nullifies the graph for me. Proves Churchill’s own adage, that *he only believed the data that he doctored himself*. Gretzky has more goals than anyone else 25 years after retiring. He has more assist than anyone has points. Nice try though.
Where is Bedard? /s
No Bossy on here is criminal.
where’s hull
We really hate Boston this much that pastrnak never gets added to these charts?
this is beautiful
What surprises does this graph show? It seems obvious to me that a better shooting percentage relative to the league usually results in more goals.
ggplot2?
I would love to see what Pavel Bure and Mike Bossy look like on this type of chart.
No bure is crazy
This era adjusted bs is stupid. Just make a list of separate eras and who dominated. Comparing eras makes zero sense as is, adjusting the numbers doesn’t translate at all with different equipment, systems, salary cap, etc.
