Why is it one player vs. another? Why can't we have a fan base who wants both players to succeed instead of picking one player to treat like absolute crap.
I do not understand the hate on for Eberle. Saying he plays like he doesn't care.. I sure as hell don't see that. I see a guy frustrated with not producing and struggling to find his place on a growing team. I see similar things from Yakupov albeit a little more spazzy at times but I honestly think that's just two men with different personalities and playing styles.
I quite enjoyed last nights game, I was involved emotionally both good and bad. I did not see this black hole of turnovers everyone is claiming Eberle was. I checked the stats he is credited with one giveaway, the same amount as numerous other players on our team. The entire line got manhandled by the Sedins especially later on, how shocking. I forgot are the Sedins any good?
This fan base drives me insane sometimes. It is ok to enjoy watching hockey and not have to chose a player to run out of town.
you are kidding yourself if you think eberle didn't play like hot garbage last night. And just because the Sedins are good that gives our players an excuse to get man handled? These guys aren't rookies anymore, not with those paycheques and minutes. Expectations are higher, and with reason.
