Can make the puck dance like a puppet, make defenders miss with his shiftiness and has multi-goal games through each of the first three rounds, including his first career Stanley Cup hat trick in Game 3 of the Western Conference finals.

The man they call 'Z' is coming up all A's for the Detroit Red Wings. He is leading the club in scoring with 21 points to share the playoff lead with Pittsburgh's Sidney Crosby. He has points in 10 of his last 11 games, with 9-8-17 totals in that span.

This is what the NHL has waited for, to get Sid The Kid on hockey's biggest stage. Already with Hart and Art Ross trophies on his resume, at 20 he'd be the youngest captain to win the Stanley Cup, supplanting Wayne Gretzky (1984 Edmonton) and Teeder Kennedy (1945 Toronto), who were both 23.

The second half of Pittsburgh's dynamic duo up front, he's third in playoff scoring with 19 points, two back of co-leaders teammate Sidney Crosby and Detroit's Henrik Zetterberg. But only three goals and two assists among that total have come away from the friendly confines of Pittsburgh's Mellon Arena.
