Hockey needs to come back so I can watch Ehlers, my favourite hockey player, play hockey again.

I hope this extra time + Stastny has awarded Mo and co. time for a good plan for PP2. Give this man his well deserved PP points for dominating at 5v5 offensively.
Stud. Just an absolute pleasure to watch. I need a smug looking Ehlers avatar in case Laine gets traded.
Ehlers is the man. High, high quality asset also IMO.
Would be nice to see a Laine + Ehlers PP. Both shooters from the opposite-side boards and Ehlers with that crazy acceleration to keep things spicy.
Wheeler has strengths in that spot also and other strengths Ehlers doesn't have but Ehlers is a zone-entry guy. He should be on PP1 with Laine, and Wheeler should use his skills to elevate and carry and lead the PP2. That should be tried at least.

best all-around winger on the team imo, might be AINEC. KC might be a tad better offensively, but in all-around play it's Ehlers hands-down.

Hope he sticks on that first line, if the reports from training camp are true. He’s deserved it.

Ehlers has far bigger reasons to complain about usage, lack of PP time, line mates and TOI then any other player on the team. Love the kid, comes to work, does as he’s asked and never complains.....just tries harder.
Agree. And works incredibly hard in the off-season to iron out the rough spots in his game — including putting the “playoff bust” narrative to rest in the 2020 play-ins.
Hopefully he books another strong season and gets a little more love for what he brings.
Probably not realistic if he stays on the 2nd PP unit and they continue to get little ice time.

In case?
In the interim, I think this would make a good transitional avatar. And when Laine gets traded, you can always just X out the right side of the pic.
i hope so. and a majority of that will be at even strength. he definitely has the skill and ability to attain those totals, just a matter of top line mins.

This will be interesting to watch -
He's going to bring a new element to the line in zone exit / entry ability - if he can combine that with smart puck distribution once he gains the zone, he should benefit from playing with a couple of guys that know how to work the O zone and find openings.
His challenge, if there is one, will be making quick decisions with the puck and playing a role down low with this line mates - he has the tools to make this line very dangerous.
Excellent, gotta get it down to head only. Love the face - that's my "another Zoom meeting face".here you go. Seriously, eels is a good egg ....
