I get what you're saying, but Tarasenko has had plenty of highlight reel goals/plays because of being creative.

He's a PPG player, which is something Oshie has never been. Tarasenko is definitely more skilled than Oshie. They play a different type of game.

Most of those highlight goals came in the first half. Not so much since the league has adjusted. Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan. But the fancy stuff usually ends up in your own net in the playoffs.
