KC is not getting a free pass. Everyone worried about him too until he got a goal. People talked about how he was too small and how he was getting dominated in the first 2 series. If Ehlers gets a single goal, just one, people will stop worrying about him. Yes, there are other players that aren't scoring goals, but none of them are getting second line minutes. We really need secondary scoring from that whole line Stas, Ehlers, Laine if we are going to get through this series. I really don't see anything unfair about that.I think KC is getting a free pass, and Ehlers is being viewed unfairly by a good number of posters.
I don't disagree that we need secondary scoring.KC is not getting a free pass. Everyone worried about him too until he got a goal.

Also its not just him, haven't you noticed how much flak Lanie has got around here lately?
I disagree and think this thread is about Ehlers not KC and KC doesn't matter. What matters is Ehlers play. After all even if KC was scoring there would be too much reliance on 1line. Chef's line is producing so every single one of them is exempt. I don't care who sucks and doesn't suck that line needs to contribute offensively.I don't disagree that we need secondary scoring.
I am saying I do not agree Ehlers has sucked, outside goals I have liked his game, and he shoould have way more assists.
KC getting a free pass, is about people forgetting how he looked before his 2 goal game, not exactly good, they forget who he is playing with.
He still isnt looking good, but bc of recency bias, he gets a pass.
And Ehlers is blamed, even tho he didn't play.
I have said what I need to on this matter, I am going to focus my attention on tonights game
I agree this is about Ehlers, I wasn't the one who brought KC into the discussion.I disagree and think this thread is about Ehlers not KC and KC doesn't matter. What matters is Ehlers play.

He should be better, but he has also been more than just the guy who moves the puck from end to end and looses it.Ehlers is too good of a player to not finish and score goals.
He can not just be a guy that moves the puck from end to end and loses it.
Ya , i thought eventually Ehlers would get it going but he never did . I think Ehlers needs to gain a bit more strength over the summer .Zero goals. I 100% expected him to get one before this was over.
