Ya - if Eller is cocky or arrogant, I wish more of our guys were that way. I want guys that really, really want to score and to win and have the desire to overcome any obstacle. If Kuzy could only crank it up every night.....

I still remember the first game of the season the season before this when we beat the Bruins 7-0.
Marchand didn't like his attitude and gave him a beat down. I don't likeep Marchand at all but I was ok with him beating on Eller. Only time I have ever approved of a Cap losing a fight.

It might surprise you, Kollie, but I actually DO know where you’re coming from, on that aspect!
I have the same feeling about John Carlson!
Carlson, no doubt, gives us plenty of offensive production, but he just comes off, IMO, with that “shit-eatin’-grin”, kinda look, especially when he commits an obvious defensive error! It never seems like he is upset with himself about ANYTHING, and it makes me dislike him more, despite his good contributions!
Eller, as much as I like the guy, also has that cocky, shit eating grin, look!
With both Carlson and Eller, I don’t know if it’s just something in the genetics of their facial shapes, or what, and for all I know they may not even be feeling the way my mind perceives “the look“!
Either way, they both bother me in that area!😁😁

If he got me once, he'd have to keep gettin me till I kicked his ass.. Every time I saw him! :raised-eyebrow:

Eller did try to call out Marchand, the next time they played, but Marchand did not “take the offer” to fight! But Eller only called him out ONCE, and did not keep on him after that!
I’ve got mixed feelings on this one, Mick, because I think Eller absolutely, let it slide a little too easy, and should have strongly, and definitively, kept after that punk Marchand!
Although I don’t see Eller as a fighter, at all, When Marchand drew blood on Eller, it was kind of a wussified sucker punch, that surprised Eller and caught him off guard.
Ella was somewhat embarrassed anyway, by a chicken shit move on Marchands part, thus, Eller should have never let him get away with it, the next game, should’ve dropped gloves on him, and forced A fight with Marchand, on the PRIDE factor alone!!

I forgot to mention that, regardless of what their facial expressions are, I totally give Eller a pass on it, because of the highly motivated character Standard that he has, which is in my opinion, COMPLETELY contrary to John Carlsen‘s style!
