The Eberle sucks trend on this board is hilarious. Every one here makes this game sound so easy. The whole line is getting paired against the best players for the most part, and all 3 are having success right now. Its our secondary scoring thats the issue. Our PP is actually a huge issue to. Players like Perron, Purcell, Yak, really need to come through on games like tonight. They didnt get a sniff of Weber all game, and did nothing with it. Our first line actually had a very strong game to get a goal against Weber and Josi.
2/3 of the top line barely does anything. That line only works because Hall is on it. RNH and Eberle can't do anything on their own and all of them act like babies when they get split up. None of them are particularly good defensively either so that's another problem of having that line together and also, if they lose puck possession it's difficult for them to get it back.
We've seen this line combo many times in the past under Krueger and even Renney. It wasn't effective for more than a few games because of the major holes they all share. Really, the fault mainly lies with RNH and Eberle. They have not done anything these past few seasons with the roles they've been given. #1C and #1RW and they both play like crap without the best player on the team on their line. It's a joke.
