What I find concerning is that this team needs heroics from either Rantanen, Granlund, Harley or Oettinger in order to win.

There are way too many passengers that are not delivering like Duchene, Benn, Seguin, Marchment, Johnston and Robertson. Duchene in particular seems to have the same illness as Mathews and Marner. The PO Ghost Syndrome or POGS.

Just watch the Panthers and notice that the contribution and production are coming right and left from a multitude of different players.

I hope that ALL of them do not want to go back to Winnipeg for a 7th game.

I appreciate your honest, blunt take regarding the Benn incident. Emotions are flying; tough to see situations result in dangerous ones.

It’s time to either fish or cut bait on Miro. Put him in or take him out. Put Blackwell back in to help in some of the wall battles. The Jets are kicking the Stars ass in the wall battles and the Stars still can’t get the puck out of their zone like they should. Don’t stand flat footed and look to pass to a guy 10 foot in front of you with a Jet player draped all over him. The Stars will have line choice so maybe that will help. And how about a few less penalties.

In Jamie's defense Scheifele accidentally kicked him with skates on and Jamie doesn't know it's accidental.

Yeah you can clearly see Benn mention this kick before he lands the punch. If you watch the scrum, when they end up on the ground you can see Scheifele kicking his blades at Benn a few times. Dirtbag stuff but at least it’s dirtbag vs dirtbag I guess?

Yeah this. Guys tend to see read when threatened with life altering or potentially deadly injuries. Not to overblow it but Lian not knowing how damaged his eye is and lashing out or Benn almost taking a skate hard to the face meet those criteria in my mind.
