I'm a bad troll...
If you can't trust Iginla and Morrow and Crosby, who can you trust?
Rechhi, Weight and Brind'amour

So what you are saying is that even if this team were to have a bunch of good gritty veteran leaders, that they might all of a sudden randomly decide to stop leading at a crucial juncture such as the Eastern Conference Finals?
If the captain of the team/best player on the team spends his ice time trying to get in slap fights and taking stupid penalties, then yeah, I can't imagine that inspires much confidence in the rest of the players on the team, veteran or not.
Yes, if Sidney Crosby had been a better leader, perhaps he could have inspired Marc Andre Fluery, Chris Letang, Tyler Kennedy, Matt Cooke, Derek Engelland, Brandon Sutter (oh yes I went there), Craig Adams and Paul Martin (among others) to have suddenly stopped being terrible hockey players.
Just like Eric Staal's leadership will suddenly inspire Patrick Dwyer to score 35 goals in a season.

Is there anything more memorable (besides winning the Cup) than a double-OT game winner that completes a hat trick?
And Kane's done both! On the 3rd anniversary of the Cup winner nonetheless...
Well shoot, finally picked the right goal scorer for #bucciovertimechallenge (not that it was too difficult), but no luck getting picked.
Hat-trick Patrick getting it done once again. This year's Stanley Cup is going to be phenomenal. Go Hawks!

It's really hard. I typically end up picking random stay-at-home dmen like Oduya and Regehr because if I guess Kane for Toews or Sharp and I get it right there's no way I get picked...
The good news is that my work schedule is very suitable to watching the games. Only one of the first five games will I miss part of due to work. Not sure about games 6 and 7 though, I don't have my schedule yet.
