We fans, and reporters, do need to still talk about the Stone scheme. It’s been 3 years in a row that he has been put on LTIR and his salary used for high end reinforcement . 3 years.
In any league that has a minimum of integrity, this needs to be investigated thoroughly.
You know that Jim Nill could have probably done the same thing with Seguin this year. Most probably, the only thing that kept him doing it is integrity.
Starting the 4th line was a strategic error for sure and Dadanov was a big part of that.
I'm frustrated but calm (is that possible?). Frustrated to see the Stars peter away game one but I also appreciate that many of our best players underperformed most of the game and looked wholly under prepared. PDB has to make some kind of adjustment to Vegas. Bombing shots from the blue line doesn't work against this team and they were flat out out-gritted in the crease.
I'm anxiously looking forward to a bounce back tonight even though the game may not end until tomorrow (thanks NHL).
Otter's game was very hard to judge for me because he seemed to be in position and making decent reads most of the night to my layman eyes. Vegas had an open guy deep in the crease every time I blinked.
David I usually pretty much agree with you but I just can’t agree on Joe Pavelski. I don’t think Joe had as much of a down year as it looks like. Let me put it this way. Robo and Hintz scored 15 less goals than last year. I am saying that If they scored like last year Joe would have had assists on let’s say half of those goals. That puts him over 70 points. That probably puts him inthe top 20% of points producers in the NHL. JMO

Is Blume a legitimate NHL prospect?
