Before anyone shits, I'll start off with a "hey, don't take this too seriously". This is for fun.
But through the end of December... who's been the better player this season? Is it even possible to pick one over the other yet? And before anyone starts in.. this isn't a "who has more potential" or anything like that. It's who's been better so far this year.
Hossa is healthy and literally doing pretty much whatever he wants when he's on the ice. Not only can people not take him off the puck, he's taking opponents off the puck and just making them look silly on a regular basis. He's the hardest working guy on the ice every single shift and he makes anyone he plays with instantly better. This is the Hossa that the Hawks signed for 12 years.
And then there's Toews. He is the Blackhawks. He has the will and drive that very few professional athletes have. Do you ever doubt him? Has he ever let you down? When he was awarded a penalty shot tonight in a 1-0 game, did you have ANY doubt that he'd score on the shot? I didn't. I would have bet anything that he'd successfully put that puck five hole on Howard. He does it all while shouldering the weight of an entire team as the captain. His numbers, both offensively and defensively this year are at the top.
Who's been better this year? If it helps, think of it this way- who could this team simply not do without? Is it too close to call?
:dunno:
