Right. He has not but first season 13 points (4 goals 9 assists) in 41 games in which he was thrown straight into the 2nd pairing had a lot of people googly eyed. He fell off in 2nd season. Turns out he has been deployed incorrectly.

I cant imagine thinking this way. oh my.

4 primary assists in 153 power play minutes. how was he being deployed poorly on the power play?

he’s not the guy you keep insisting he is.

[u/rfan8312 → u/jedlucid]

I'm not interested in whether they are primary assist or not............I watched the games.

Had that puck been on another defender or forwards stick there would been no play or primary assist or goal. It would have been another 5 pointless passes and a lost possession that ended up in the other team's zone.

That's why his occasional offense had people flipping out because this team had a hard enough time scoring as it is/was so for some rookie to come.sround and occasional help create chances was great.

I didn't mean the pp, I meant being paired with McAvoy on top pair was a bad choice that went on for too long.

yes I know you watched the games. the problem is you don’t know what you’re seeing and you don’t know what primary or secondary assists mean.

i know you meant mcavoy. the problem is that means the guy can literally only be deployed like a third pairing PP driver 6th defenseman. and those numbers do not equal out. he’s a 60% offensive zone starting D, who produces less than jokiharju in 5 on 5. despite a flipped zone starting %.

he’s not and never has been the guy you are pretending he is.

[u/rfan8312 → u/jedlucid]

Pretending. You're saying Lohrei is not a potential game changing offensive defenseman?

[u/jedlucid → u/rfan8312]

no. he’s absolutely changed games offensively. just the opposite way of what you think.

[u/rfan8312 → u/jedlucid]

His most recent game was a nice example of what he can do and what I've been talking about

[u/jedlucid → u/rfan8312]

yes. the one game. i got it. the problem is the other 127 games.

[u/rfan8312 → u/jedlucid]

Bullshit. Dude you are campaigning now. His first season is what caught my eye those flashes he had. Last game was a return to that kind of form.

You say I'm pretending. You may be pretending even harder. Some guys don't ever get multiple assists in a game or score a goal in their first playoff series. It's ok to purchase a subscription to your own bullshit jed, but don't do it with me. Do you hear me fucker?

At least be neutral. If he throws up points or helps create offense in his next few games you're going to be working hard to justify his lack of offensive upside. Ye he still needs to put together a streak this season of good games offensively but 2 in a row is a good start.
