You're not understanding there's a certain element who would run Patrick Kane out of town cause they're small, and blame him that doesn't attempt to go into the corner with Zedeno Chara. Plus you have mild mannered team mates that won't (at least over the past few years) stick up for someone like Johnny and convince opposing teams he isn't to be touched.
So they automatically think that mediocre (once much better) players; because once in a while they do something slightly defensive, are ten times better. IMO
