I don't think the average person can appreciate just how good NHL players are. Even the fringe guys are insanely good compared to the average shinny player. Adam Cracknell lit up my brother (decent shinny goaltender) at will in a shinny hockey game. He looked like Gretzky compared to everyone else.
