The Copper & Blue, an Edmonton Oilers community

I made the offhand comment last night in the game thread that Ovechkin seems to have the lowest shooting percentage of any great scorer all-time. Turns out I was pretty much right, at least insofar as the available data can tell us. Keep in mind that shot data has only been around for a few decades. Hence, you can ignore the Boom Boom Geoffrion listing at #51, since the shot data only exists for the final season of his career, and so his apparent 6% shooting percentage doesn't hold water.
