You thanked New Era's post so I'm assuming you read it. As did others.

That last statement is not hyperbole either. When someone has the balls to say that player X is the star of the team that means they are the guy carrying the club on his back. Teravainen has barely been able to carry his own jock since coming to North America, but now he's a star. His contribution has been grossly overblown. He was expected to be a scorer and he isn't doing any of that. Not at the AHL level, and not at the NHL level. A long range shot the goaltender has yet to see, thanks to the hard work in the dirty areas by his line mates, doesn't impress.

Like honestly you must be a terrible loser if that's your response to a 20 year old kid was has 8pts in 13 games and just had 2pts in game 1 of the Stanely Cup finals.
