That's because the talent level in the NHL is so watered down at this point it isn't funny, but that's what happens with expansion, more and more players who don't belong are making it to the show when they should have been dropped in the minors.
Personally I'd like them to drop some teams, get the talent level back to where it should be, because right now it's mind boggling how some of these guys have made it to the NHL.

Crosby couldn't hold their jock straps, the kid is a good player yes, but he's no great one, or as they try calling him, the next one, he's just a Bettman ploy to hope people fall for the bullshit they're selling.
