Eberle has been lousy. Team played very well though.

He’s getting some decent looks but not finishing but I agree to an extent he can be better he’s been a bit half assed. Kane is going to out muscle Eberle 9 out of 10 times but I’m sure Trotz gave it to him a little on that play.

He's got fewer goals than Ross Johnston, and they've played the same number of games.

Thing with Eberle is he’s streaky. We need him to go on one...

Good point. On the other hand, he needs to contribute other ways when he's not scoring, like playing sound defensively.

I don’t disagree. Hopefully he gets it together. I’d also lump Lee into the guys that have been disappointing pile. He has not been good on either side of the puck.

I knew we should have let Eberle go.

Barzal, Nelson, and Beau have carried the team in terms of the forwards. Lee and Eberle need to pick it up.

Lee is starting to sabotage Barzal to an extent. I know he’ll snap out of it but he’s on a bad stretch.

Lee can definitely be better, but a few goals the Isles have scored in the last few games were helped by him being in front of the net. Mayfield's goal against Pit immediately comes to mind. He doesn't get points for that, but those goals probably don't happen if the goalies had clear looks.

No points, but it does get reflected in his +/- (unless it's a pp), and Lee is a very respectable +8 so far this season.
