To borrow from Dennis Green, Kopitar is who we thought he was. He's a poor mans Mats Sundin, big guy, can play physical when he wants, disappears at times but his biggest weakness is he usually takes what the defense gives him. The D usually force him wide and Kopitar goes wide. The difference between Kopitar and an elite superstar like Datsuyk is he'll be creative and make a defensemen look foolish by going through him with a slick move and create more space for himself as the game(s) go on. The problem Kopitar has is he's being paid to produce no matter what. Some fans will give him a pass, other fans want his head. I'm not a fan of all the excuses given to why Kopitar stunk up the playoffs, everybody's hurt. And if he slumped because he's getting married then you might want to trade him before he gets divorced (75% divorce rate in California).
