You're missing the point. Ricardodw's rather poorly thought out point was to argue Hall/Eberle suck because Tavares' team is in the playoffs this year. Oil Stain validly points out that the Islanders weren't much better in his first three seasons than the Oilers have been in Hall's first three. It is not a valid comparison.
Any which way you slice it though, it's a dumb comparison in the first place. There are about 30 guys who make up an NHL team over the course of a typical season. One player, no matter how great, can't overcome a collection of slugs for teammates.
