    ^ Crosby and Toews.

    He has an argument I guess. In terms of playing the full ice, Kopitar is one of the best you can have. But you have to keep in mind that Gretzky wants to pump his LA Kings as much as possible, being an alum.

    I think he's a great player who has been great for years but no one noticed because it's not a traditionally big hockey market and it's on the West coast.
    Now the talking heads (and half these boards) are gushing all over themselves about how he's vastly underrated...he's not for people who watch Kings games

    Can he do it again?? What happens if Gaborik stays?

    Can he? Sure. Will he? I doubt it. He's like Towes, his value to his team goes so far past just scoring that it simply doesn't make sense to use him that way. At the end of the day how many players do you know that would trade Cup finals for scoring titles?

    I would have put Bergeron just slightly ahead of Kopitar. What do you guys think?

    Makes me ecstatic to finally see him getting the credit he deserves. Highway robbery if he doesn't win the Selke this year.

    Well yes, but the game was in LA and he still has roots in LA. So, he's gonna pump their tires at that given time.

    I'd put Lundqvist before him, if you count goalies, just for the sustained period of dominance.
