Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews are now in their second season of professional hockey playing for the Chicago Blackhawks. While they are in their second season, the hype of having such young athletes with the amount of talent that they do continues to rise.
I think it’s insane how much media coverage the two of them get, when the leading scorer of the team for the last 2 years has been Patrick Sharp.
Sharp has led the Hawks in scoring with 36 goals for the 2007-2008 season, and is currently in the lead this season with 23 goals. Meanwhile it’s all about Kane, who had 21 goals last season and currently has 17 for this season, as well as Toews, with 24 for 2007-2008 and 17 so far this season.
Both Kane and Toews are great players and obviously leaders in scoring, but it’s frustrating that they are the only players to receive media coverage on the team.
The Hawks have a lot of great young players this year, such as Ben Eager and Kris Versteeg, however the focus remains on Kane and Toews.
I’d like to see the media begin to give credit where credit is due—I want to read an article about a player other than Kane or Toews.

Well said, I completely agree. There are a lot of great players on the roster that don't get enough credit. I love Eager and Versteeg, and Adam Burish is quickly becoming my favorite player on the team.
