lol what? All playoffs long all we heard was how CK, Miller, Hayes - all talented guys - were competing hard enough.
Jesus this thread is insane.
Our fanbase has to be the most hypocritical in sports. It's crazy. The double standards for Stepan were cringe worthy. "He doesn't show emotion", "Always smiling, he doesn't care". Then, he yells at his bench, yells at Hank, and we ride his ass. He says he played terrible in the playoffs, and the fans say he "lacks confidence" and "shouldn't be a captain". Ludicrous.
Ditto here.
More on topic...I haven't followed prospects in ten years. How does Andersson compare to Korpikoski going into their drafts? That was the immediate comparison I made when I read his scouting report: "two way player, great work ethic, some skill, NHL ready".
