Patrick Kane? But, I really agree with the fact that this league should cater towards stars.
Doesn't draw shadows. He's very much 2nd tier compared to JT.

For all the sky is falling talk, I think a lot of our problems could be solved by the coaches getting their heads out of their ***** and making the tough roster decisions that need to be made.
When you are the best player in the world - you don't get that. If you are Michael Jordan, you are the headline of every game if you don't come through for your team. If you are Tom Brady, you start getting questioned after going 2-2 in Superbowls (before this year) instead of praised for winning 2 and getting to 4.
That's just the way life works, man. Right or wrong. And hey... it's probably wrong to do it.
The top 2 lines need shaken up. They aren't working.
Feels like they just can't get over the hump and beat good teams this year for the most part. They do enough to hang around in the games but just don't have enough to get over the hump and win.
Sid is having a bad year. I'll leave it at that. He's a pretty dedicated guy that can certainly bounce back at some point going forward.
If the powerplay is something other than ass Crosby and Malkin probably have another 10 points apiece and we're not even questioning their play.

That's how I took the last couple playoffs, CH. Then I see the patterns of Sid's game and I'm realizing the consistency is actually where he is today. The points will happen in the regular season but until he turns it to like 2 more levels higher, this team won't go anywhere. We absolutely need him to be at his best.
So yes.. you make a very good point. But he's #87. He's the best in the world. We go nowhere without him. And this whole "Meh it's a bad season." is not a legit excuse. This is going on more than just this season. Teams are shutting him down when it matters.
Yes, our PP scored 40% more goals in the first 13 games of the season than it has in the 44 games since.
