It was his one dimensional play that really irks everybody. He was always good for putting the puck in the net but that completely disappeared this season (hired some shooting coach or something) and he wasn't doing much of anything else either. Got primo time on McDavid's wing too. He seems to be buying in now and actually engaging physically, winning board battles and busting his ass for the first time ever... if he manages to keep this up, I can see sentiment turning around with him.

Will be interesting to see how he performs in the playoffs and if any of that WJC magic still remains tho...

He has good Corsi so I automatically like him

They're good. Condolences.

They have their place. But ppl seen to be ignoring actual results instead of underlying advanced metrics. Which is problematic.

Take Jakee Gardiner for instance....

Hot garbage. Advanced stats say otherwise

Advanced stats are good unless they disagree with my narrative. Then they're bad.

Rangers are paper tigers.

Rangers aren't tigers even on paper tho, unless your "on paper" is limited to their point total.
