When the Flames signed Neal a bunch of us here even likened him to being our Hossa - purely based off that storyline |
Right, but that is not exactly the point—your article is from Summer 2010 when Hossa made the Finals for the third time with the Blackhawks. If we are comparing the David Perron storyline as somehow not as interesting as Hossa's, then we need to revisit
2009 when Hossa was playing in his second consecutive SC Finals, like Perron is doing now; like what James Neal did last year.
*EDIT* My point has less to do with Hossa than it does with somehow attempting to judge the significance of David Perron's similar storyline as arbitrarily less interesting or meaningful.
