There was never a “lack of respect”. He was the defensive side of pairings with Shea Weber, Roman Josi, Seth Jones, PK Subban, and Ryan Suter. They scored a lot while he held down the fort. They got the interviews, he got the fan respect. The last two years, he’s been carrying a bad partner.
Ekholm was +6 this game. He was on the ice for EVERY GOAL THE OILERS GOT. It's nuts. Did you know the Oilers have outscored their opponents 20 to 3 in the last 5 games? Think about that. Connor gets 1 more goal he ties Ovi for most in the post cap era. Two more he passes him for another record. Pasta in Boston is only 3 away from 60 so it's not like Connor can coast totally. I don't know if Pasta can get 60 but you know the Bruins will be pushing for it. Great vid as always. Take care all.
I wanted the oilers to pick up ekholm like 3 years ago. Whenever he had two years left on his deal, I think it was 3 years ago 😅 I don't remember and I'm too lazy to look it up
I was honestly disappointed in the trade and thought.. ekholm. I didnt know anything about him. What a sleeper pick up but most likely hes always been good but hidden on a nashville team thats allways had good d. Im sorry big ek.

Tyler nailed it.

Ekholm is an absolute beast on both side of the puck. The entire team plays 2 inches taller with him in the lineup.
Wow, you guys are a bunch of idiots
He gets all the respect coming to the Oilers. Great pick up.

There is not lack of respect! Anyone who plays on this team is going to do well.
