Jets 3 - Sabres 2 in OT

[WolfHouse]

Lol say bad take again.

The whole genesis of my post was a response to the assertion that Ehlers and Samberg’s absence was a main driver of the Jets poor play over the past group of games.

While I agree that losing Samberg has hurt us for a number of reasons, such as missing his excellent defensive play, his impact on Pionk, forcing less capable players into roles they shouldn't be in, and increasing ice time of Pionk and Morrissey when everyone's already exhausted, I was staying that I don't think that Ehlers loss is in that tier of significance for the reasons I stated.

I didn't think Ehlers was playing particularly well before he got hurt, I don't consider Ehlers to be a main success driver for the team, and I've yet to see him rise up and match the intensity level needed when games get tough, such as playoffs, hard physical contests, or, when the team is in a slump.

I did not say it didn't matter that Ehlers was hurt. I did not say that he's not an excellent hockey player.

I made my point about why I didn't think Ehlers loss has had a huge impact in our struggles. I made a well constructed argument using empirical evidence.

So say bad take a much as you'd like, I stick by what I said and why I said it.

Good day, sir.

Keep your head in the sand that ehlers wasnt the difference on pp1 and that our powerplay wasnt driving the winning streak

The acid test is over........I believe we have seen the last of Stanley. Finally!

I want to believe, too.

1st unit 15 powerplay goals(2 without ehlers)
2nd unit 9 powerplay goals

both units scoring is what has made our powerplay so effective

Ostrich I am, then I guess.

I'm not going to let bullies silence me!

Again, being critical and trying to look at it objectively doesn't mean I don't like Ehlers and don't think he plays a role on this team.

He's a very exciting, solid secondary scorer on this team.

Umm okay... i didnt say any of that but sure.

The objective way to look at it clearly shows our powerplay was dominant with his presence
