Oh, the hypocrisy.
People spent the better part of the season arguing how Little cratered Laine's production due to their bad chemistry, but when someone suggests that Little suffered too, then it is a non-factor and Laine's goalscoring should have helped him. Well, it didn't, which leads me to believe that Laine was a negative factor in Little's production this year.
The point is, you can't have it both ways. If you think that Laine was sandbagged by the poor chemistry between him and Little, then you cannot claim that Little's production was bad; heck, he spent half a year with Laine.
I'm not worried. If Little repeats this next season, then I'll make a case for it. Based on this year? No.
It’s interesting that the Stastny line has cooled off lately yet so many people seem to think those three have some great chemistry together. Well I really don’t see it as a “chemistry thing” at all. I see it as Ehlers and Laine with any center play well if those two youngsters are playing well individually. For example if Ehlers is skating through the neutral zone and NOT turning the puck over they are more successful. Or if Laine can create space himself without much help it’s the same way. These two are talented enough to where if they are playing well, chemistry is irrelevant.
