I'm old enough to remember when fans were upset he (and Doughty) was named to Team Canada only for them to finish 1-2 in scoring lol
Hall of Very Good for sure. Guy was an absolute baller in LA and added a speed element and secondary scoring we didn't have. Fun fact, was the only player not named Kopitar to lead the Kings in scoring for a 15 year period. He'll never get credit for being a super smart and strong defensive player as well, we thought he was brought in simply to be a winger that could score on Richards' side, but when Richards started fading and Carter was moved to center, and then of course Pearson and Toffoli were added, he was basically the missing element and could match up vs. anyone. A nice luxury to have.
I'll never forget that 2014 series with the Hawks...with Gaborik-Kopitar-Brown vs. Hossa-Toews-Shaw/Sharp blackholing each other and then Kane-Saad-Sharp/Shaw vs. Pearson-Carter-Toffoli just teeing off on one another scoring like crazy, completely opposite expereinces haha.
