He plays in LA, are you really surprised that he doesn't get more attention. Kopitar doesn't play in Canada, and he's not in the Eastern Conference so he'll have to play extremely well to get noticed by the media.
Hmmmm....Los Angeles isnt exactly a hockey town.....maybe if Gary Bettman cleaned up the league and give out hockey teams to hockey markets, maybe his players and the league will get more recognitionAnze Kopitaris as good as Malkin only a couple points behind. This is ***!!!!!

Kopitar does not get alot of attention because he plays for the Kings and yes he might be one of their best players but still he plays for the worse team in the west and not exactly a big city to get NHL news out of. But this could be good for the kid because if alot of teams don't hear much about him they will think less of him and be shocked when he plays them and tears up. In other words he is very underrated.
he gets little press, but here's a nice article: http://www.latimes.com/sports/hocke...0019.story?coll=la-headlines-sports-nhl-kings

excerpt:
The first meeting between Luc Robitaille and Anze Kopitar became a compare-notes session in the Kings' dressing room earlier this season.
Kopitar was already the new fellow in the hearts of Kings fans, having scored two goals in his NHL debut. Robitaille had held their attention after spending much of his 19-year career in a Kings uniform.
"You scored two goals in your first game?" Robitaille asked, after being told of Kopitar's lack of first-night jitters. Robitaille smiled, winked and said, "I got mine on my first shift."
To be fair, Kopitar has 10 fewer points in 8 more games. Malkin is clearly outscoring Kopitar right now.Anze Kopitaris as good as Malkin only a couple points behind. This is ***!!!!!

yes malkin may be out scoring kopitar right now but you also have to look at the team malkin has behind him. The Kings thought that this kid would be playing in the AHL this year until he blew everyone away in the preseason and continued to be one of the best players for the kings this year. Give LA one or two years and they are going to be just like pittsburgh is this year they have so many prospects waiting to come up and they also have Frolov, visnovsky, brown and cammelari becoming very good players
Playing on a line with Frolov and Camalerri souldnt be effecting his play all that much either
i thinkk that la should be mentioned and recognized more, they have potential
They dont even have an NFL club the only sport they have that gets press is the lakers and thats cause of kobe. L.A what once used to be as media crazy as NYC when it came to sports has really droped to the bottom of the barrell.i thinkk that la should be mentioned and recognized more, they have potential
you dont even here much on that socer star david buckham since he sign wth L.A its funny but you here more on his spice woman wife.
