I don’t understand what you’re going for here. Lots of players get dinged up, so what? It’s normal in the playoffs
It’s just that you have some people here that thought the guy just may do better given some of the chances he got here, and *gasp* he is
It’s not pom poms, it’s just like science. You propose a hypothesis and observe consistent results
Then you have a lot of people explaining why the direct observations of him finding success is not reflective of him, it’s because of Huberdeau, or lucky, or unsustainable or can’t possibly last because of ‘the style he has to play’. It’s because they bought into a different narrative during his time here
The organization failed to some extent in one way or another
It is denial, it seems to be uncomfortable for people to realize they are wrong, so they will continue to try to find reasons to tell themselves why they weren’t wrong
Nobody’s saying he has taken a step to being a 1.4 point per game player moving forward, that’s silly.
But there’s a big huge plain of reality in between Pom poms and denial
