Yeah, AO led the league in goals but that is because he had 528 shots on goal. The second guy in line in the entire league (Eric Staal) only took 372 shots. That is 156 more shots than second place. ANd for those extra 156 shots, he only had 16 more goals than Staal. He also led the league in giveaways, whereas Malkin led the league in takeaways.

AO is a great player, don’t get me wrong, but the only reason he racks up the goals is because he doesn’t/can’t pass the puck and he just shoots the puck every time he touches it. He led the league with 220 missed shots this year. Some guys didn’t even take 220 shots!
