Strange thing is there are a lot of people out there that actually think that. Radio show call in, other message boards, etc I've seen comments like that. Only the truly knowledageble know that he was outstanding in the playoffs and regular season for this team.[/quote]
Unfortunately the majority of those radio show call ins just became "fans" of hockey around the beginning of April. I am sometimes tempted to call in and stay on hold for 45 minutes or however ridiculously long they make you wait just to tear those new fans a new asshole. God how many times I heard "Neemi" and "Halmarsson" and "Kopekky" just to name a few.
Bandwagoners and new fans are just fine as long as they don't call in to radio shows or try to talk about hockey at bars like they've been watching for 20+ years. I have led tons of people to the sport of hockey over the past couple of seasons due to the tremendous successes of the team. The people I teach about the sport don't go around acting like they know everything, they ask tons of questions and I'm happy to answer them.
