Some people are really sensitive, you can hate all his GM moves and still admit the guy knows how to dress. Sure some of the stuff is out there, but its top notch.
Subban also dress' great. Both are not afraid to push it.
He's what, 50? Yeah pushing it is an understatement lol
Looks like a Bollywood actor.
Facts say otherwise.The catch you are talking about is false.
Not disputing your memory on this, though I think "Hate" is an overstatement. Anyway, there's hyperbole on everything and everyone here, so nothing would surprise me.I would disagree. "No vision" "Puck hog" "No hockey IQ" I remember those esp well from many posters. Some would spend their entire time bashing him on PGT while never being on the GDT..did they even see him play. "Plus MINUS!!!!111!!!" All while ignoring who he always followed onto the ice after he strolled to the bench. Namely DD.
Some of it might have been exagerated, Desharnais was definitely hated on this board so the DD fans might have gone overboard with their assessments of Eller to respond to that hatred.Not disputing your memory on this, though I think "Hate" is an overstatement.

I have no idea what Club Persh is.
I don't think it's fair to blame God for Eller being a 3C his entire career. In fact, the 11th commandment clearly says: "Thou shalt not overvalue".Well I must admit that I am rather enjoying this back and forth much more than arguing with @Lshap who's entire argument consists of Eller is a 3rd liner because God wrote it down on a slab of stone many years ago!
I will concede that Eller may have been inconsistent but really Eller was still a rookie too going through his formative years but as you said at least when he wasn't scoring at least he brought other elements to the table such as his defensive game.
Personally I'm not too fussed about a players regular season production. I am much more concerned with the playoffs and to me with the playoffs being harder to play in, a playoff warrior is someone that can either maintain or increase his level of play in the playoffs.
Honestly I don't blame players for taking games off. The 82 game regular season is already a long grind. Even talented players like Kovalev would take 1 out 2 games off lol. I am looking for players that understand the urgency and do or die nature of the playoffs and are able to raise their game to the next level.
True enough. Therrien's worst trait -- even next to his other bad traits -- was his player usage.Some good points, the one thing it always seemed to me, he was never given any type of sustained chance to prove himself, because of Therrien's man-love for others...

Seriously though, Eller had a dream playoffs. If he can consistently play in this neighbourhood in the post season he will certainly earn the title "Playoff beast".
The Egg line dismantle to get DesHarnais going was the worst for me. Loved the Egg line.True enough. Therrien's worst trait -- even next to his other bad traits -- was his player usage.
You can stand out in the playoffs, but if you don't draw blood from an opponent you have no character.

Bergevin is nothing but a used car salesman using cheap lines to try and trick us.
Yet he traded Subban for Weber.
Subban absolutely hates losing, and is one of the most driven athletes out there.
Bergevin’s an idiot.
