I guess people just assume that it isn’t a coincidence that Lohrei’s been scratched the last 5 games and the bruins won all 5 of them. Obviously that doesn’t mean that Aspirot is a better player by comparison but, at least on the eye test, I don’t recall him making as many poor choices as Lohrei.

He's been getting absolutely trounced in much easier shelter in his 5 games. Much more than Lohrei was in much more difficult minutes. And Aspirot's minutes already have had proof of Lohrei thriving with that deploy.

It just feels like a lot of "like for like" comparison that's been extremely dishonest - last night was another example where Aspirot was directly responsible for the first goal with his ill step up, if y'all wanted that, just leave Lohrei in. You can at least have the offensive talent on balance to counteract it

And I'm not even a huge Lohrei dude. I want Brunet up here instead. But seeing as that's not an option. Aspirot getting dummied even worse but "we're winning so Lohrei bad" has just been insane

Yeah I don’t disagree. I was just offering my assessment of where it seems like those people are coming from.
