yeah, this is kind of where my headspace is at a little bit. like when he **** up on defense, it's much more "apparent" than when he makes a good breakout play or offensive zone pass. now, I know that there's a layer of selection bias in how I perceive it, so I try not to get too worked up over it...it's kind of like when an offensive linemen does his job, you kind of don't notice them, but when he gives up a sack, it's painfully obvious. that said, I watched exactly 0 Sharks games over the last couple years (other than when they played the Pens) so it's hard to compare to how he's been in the last couple yearsI don't have the hockey eye that others do, but EK has been a pretty big disappointment for me. I expected more offense....and less blunders on defense. He's been average at best. So I guess a C...maybe a C-
but again, the glaring issue with the team right now is the PP which, whether it's fair or not, is something I expected to be better, not worse, with EK
