"Unfortunately for the Jets, they had to meet the eventual Stanley Cup champions, St. Louis Blues, in the first round of the post-season. Several key players did not step up in the series, which put more pressure on the rest of the lineup to produce. In fact, there were two players that stood out for the wrong reasons. Nikolaj Ehlers and Patrik Laine need to bounce back this season if the Jets hope to make any noise during their current Stanley Cup window."
Erm what? Laine was one of the Jets' best forwards in the playoffs last season. Yet for whatever reason this writer tries to paint it as opposite. Ehlers did kind of disappear but he's pointing a finger at both, not just one of them. Not quite convinced about the author spending too many hours watching the Jets' run fot the Cup last year. And yeah as was already mentioned, he seemed to be under illusion of Ehlers playing in the top line, which makes me wonder if he watched the team at all. When the facts are wrong from the get go, one of which cannot even be argued, that pretty much shreds the credibility all together. Any professional writer knows he needs to have his narrative backed up and aligned by the facts. This is one of the poorest hockey related articles I've ever read.
