I Know just trying not to criticize Maurice for a change. Not exactly a recipe to to get a young player with low confidence going imo.

I thought Ehler's played a great game today, was skating hard and fast, and set up a beautiful goal. He was also selected one of the 3 stars--way to go Nikky
Why on earth can't Stastny put away golden chances from Ehlers.. Ehlers has imo been the most unlucky player.. He makes so many passes that should lead to goals but dont, its insane.. had 1 or 2 again yesterday.
_____________________________________________________Weird, last thing in the broadcast the three stars were Stas, Wheeler and Helle.
At NHL.com its Stas, Scheif and Ehlers
Read my post again_____________________________________________________
Well, I was listening to the post game show on 1290-- and they mentioned that Ehlers was one of the 3 stars--quite sure I'm right on that ??- could be mistaken though ??
In any event I thought Ehlers played great, and was really flying out there--good to see.
If we worried about things like that everyone would give Matty a hard time.Ehlers has not scored the past 15 games now!
Only scored twice since March 13 on 45 shots/26 games played, averaging 1,73 sog per game.
His last 13 games leading up to March 13; he had 46 shots/6 goals, averaging 3,53 sog per game
He gotta find a way to avoid these slumps or atleast not be affected that much of being in a slump.
That said, I dont think he has been bad in playoffs but certainly not very good either. Getting him back on track would be a nightmare for LVGK and the eventual opponent in the SCF
its not him not scoring the team can live with that its him setting up every vegas player with grade A chances that is the problem. he needed to be healthy scratched a long time ago hopefully he wakes up and plays somewhat decent next game. a good game for him lately would be a whopping 2 shots on net and not like 5 or 6 when he broke in and no more than 3 or 4 giveaways and 50% effort during board battles."Nik Ehlers hasn't scored a goal," Maurice said. "But that line's been pretty darn good and we just won our first two rounds, so I don't care if Nikky scores. I want him to play the best game that he can. Whether he puts the puck in or not, doesn't matter. The line's got to outplay the other line. That's it."

Why is the counter argument always "yeah, but Scheifele sucked more"? As has been said ad nauseum, Chef took his lumps here big time. Ehlers needs to step up and score some goals, just like Scheifele needed too. We can use the "he's only 20" excuse as much as we want, he's on an NHL roster playing second line minutes in the Conference finals of the playoffs.......time to step up.How did Scheif do in his first playoffs?
