Sure, they had better D, but they still had to shoot the puck past a goalie, they had to win a battle, beat a dman, execute a two on one. (Benn won the Art Ross last year, Seguin was 4th the year before, btw)
Yes, I know, there is a list of excuses the circumference of my arm for these little superstars that can't do anything super.
Hall is the only one that has actually proven he can score in this league, and Ebs to a lesser degree. but as a group, they have yet to prove they are any better than any other team's young core (Colorada, Buffalo, Florida, Calgary, Columbus, Dallas). Hell, Calgary's young core, with not a single top 3 pick and only 2 top 10s is trending to be just as good, if not better then the Hall cluster.
Yap! Yap! Yap!
I'll say it again. If you're so ----ing good, prove it.
