Man I remember listening to sportstalk 980 and hearing all these callers bashing the Sedins like crazy. Good on them to not let it get to them and continue to work hard and prove everyone wrong.

Stamkos was drafted by a market in which it needed a new face. He was promised a spot right off the bat. Yes, Tampa was rebuilding, but it had two very promising players in Lecavalier and St.Louis. As you can see, being the no1 draft pick and being in a market 3yrs removed from a cup in which the city JUST BARELY got to know this team really carries a different burden compared to say Cody Hodgeson who's only pressure is to play well and perform. At the end of the day, CoHo has nothing but himself to worry. If Hodgeson has a shitty camp, it will be all forgotten once the Canucks get on a role and idiots like Tony Gallagher will find ways to bash Luongo/Sedins/coaching/lack of depth/Gillis/management/team travel issues/SOB's partying etc.
Hell look at Tyler Seguin, great great player, but how much room in theory does the Bruins have to fit him in that system.
