How was no nash suprising?
People *NEED* to get past the goals he scored. Wow, he scored 40 goals. That's a goal every two games. A good accomplishment in todays NHL, but still not something huge(and only like 9 goals after the allstar break). Then you look at his other stats...only 16 assists, and a MINUS 35!
Throw in the fact that he's only like 19, and it wouldn't have made any sense to have him on the team. He was far, far below a number of other guys who didn't make the team (bertuzzi, kariya, vincent, tanguay, primeau..the list goes on)
Yes, his plus minus was bad because he was on a shitty team..but on the otherhand, thats also why he had so many goals. When you're a good player on a shitty team, you can puckhog and shoot whenever you want. Think he would've got 40 goals playing along side someone like sundin, or forsberg, or bertuzzi? Heh. He might see the puck 2 or 3 times a game..
