I said it during the 2010 Winter Olympics, Drew Doughty was Canada's best player. I think he should be in any conversation for best hockey player in the world.
The Blackhawks vs Kings Western Conference Final may have been the greatest series of hockey games I've ever seen. And I go back to Bobby Orr!

In furthering my discussion of the kings fan base, of the entire TV audience who watched game 7 of the Blackhawks-kings, 23% were from Chicago and only 5% were from LA.
LA barely beat out other markets that were simply interested in hockey, and it was their own team.
