There have been a lot more bad games than good games. He is an offensive player that doesnt produce consistently and his defensive game hasn't been very.
I have already posted here that he has been on the ice for more goals against than any other Caps forward. Eller is a 3rd line center which is usually a checking center but we have to use Backstrom in that role probably hurting his offensive production 5 on 5.
Eller only strength is his puck possession and most of the time he hangs on to the puck too long and ends up turning it over. Have you seen our pp since he has been on the first unit? He has been a turnover machine. He does not fit very well on that unit.
Like I said in another post Ive never been a fan but I tolerated him. But I have lost all respect for him because of the incident in the Bruins game.
Its funny that Carlson has been the whipping boy of a lot of people here. And you are OK with that. You are one of them. And I have no problem with Carlson being criticized when deserves it. The only difference in criticizing Eller is that he is earning the criticism.

Well, Maaco, I believe I’ll use 2 posts. to respond to yours here. First, will be my initial take, when I first read your response above. The 2nd will deal with the substance of your comments!
So, I gotta tell ya, this was the image/vision, in my head, after reading your response, at first blush:
Imagine a 10 foot folding ladder, set up at the beginning of a landing runway, at any major airport!
Now, picture yourself standing at the top of the ladder, facing the planes that are coming in to land!
Now, there is a HUGE 747, with NO PASSENGERS, coming straight at you, to land, as you remain atop the ladder!
Approximately 20 feet above your head, it rushes overtop of you, with an incredible, and long sustaining WHOOOOOSSSHHH!!!
Now imagine that my post, that you quoted, is typed on a little, 3x5 card, and is the sole piece of cargo on that plane, as it GOES OVER YOUR HEAD!!!
Talk about not getting it, Maaco!! My GOD!🤣😂😂🤣🤣
(That’s about it. Honestly, I’m baffled on where to start with a coherent response)!

As far as Eller goes Ive never been a fan but I lost all respect for him when he over celebrated the 7th goal of a 7-0 game. He embarrassed himself. And embarrassed himself again by letting a midget beat the crap out of him.

Dont you know that its not Ellers, Djoos, Buras, Koozys or ANYONES fault except Holtby?
According to some, it seems our worthless piece of shit goalie isnt standing on his head and and being the best goalie in the world so the skaters can entertain the masses, which is why it only looks like our team sucks.
You know the sage expert hockey analysis: Always blame the goalie!

Just watched the last several games and it is hard to get worked up at this point.
Eller - love his skills but he should score more and is inconsistent - like almost everyone else on the team.
Orlov - one of my favorites, but he has been in the league long enough now to stop making stupid defensive players. If he wants/needs to get away with that, he should really crank up his offensive game, which he has the skills to do.
Copley - better than I thought he was and good for the organization to get him back.
Bowey - seems to be leveling off after a good start. I hope he keeps progressing - could be a top 4 dman - which I never thought I would say.

I thought I said it more eloquently, but that too was likely a
and therefore the need for you to spell it out.
