Playing on a team that is beating the world does not necessarily mean that you're scoring at an unsustainable rate. Kane is just plain good.
Fasth is a goalie. As a goalie, if you're playing behind a team that's kicking all kinds of ass, you probably are going to have good statistics - see Corey Crawford. This does not mean you are primarily responsible for them. Team defense and systems play a large role in goaltending stats - see Jaroslav Halak and Brian Elliot and Mike Smith last year. See Ilya Bryzgalov previously. Any of those guys nominated for the Vezina lately? Or the Hart?
You're just being intentionally obtuse.

Sounds like a fat joke.
Yes, and Pekka Rinne, playing behind the likes of Ryan Suter and Shea Weber WAS, in fact, nominated for the Vezina.
Playing with names like Toews, Hossa, and Sharp, with guys like Duncan Kieth and Brent Seabrook, under a system that is currently undefeated in regulation, does not effect someones points? I'm not denying Kane's skill, here, because we all know he's talented. Do you honestly think Stamkos would have potted 60 playing without St. Louis? No. Do you think the Sedins would have been as successful without eachother? No. Do you think Iginla would have been better playing with St. Louis? The Sedins? Absolutely!
