Crosby with a hatty against the Stars. Nice to see
Still a hell of a player, 4 points guy is still by and far a top 10-15 player in the league at his age could be even higher if he wasn’t stuck playing on that pens teamCrosby with a hatty against the Stars. Nice to see
Crosby is still just an incredible player. Ovie getting the goals record is overshadowing what an incredible year and even better career Sid is havingStill a hell of a player, 4 points guy is still by and far a top 10-15 player in the league at his age could be even higher if he wasn’t stuck playing on that pens team
Both have incredible careers, Crosby would be getting more love if his team were going to the playoffs likes Ovie’s. those two guys really saved the league after that lockout. Incredible they are still playing at such a high qualityCrosby is still just an incredible player.

Harley Ceci collision and boom, Dallas chokes!Finally Dallas' luck catches up with them.
We're up 3-2, but lost 5-3. Pitts out shot them 40-24
Hopefully it catches up come playoff time, crazy how much they miss heiskanen on there back end.Just incredible how Dallas continues to get thoroughly outplayed and get results. That cannot possibly be sustainable come playoff time.
Since the trade deadline per/60 at 5v5they are:
28th in Corsi
30th in Scoring Chances Against
28th in High Danger Chances Against
32nd in xGA
This is a bad, bad, bad defensive team. If Oettinger doesn't stand on his head they will not win games.
It makes a lot of sense. Heiskanen regularly plays almost half the game, so that's almost half the game of going back to skate pucks out or make perfect breakout passes. Harley can do it too but not to that extent, and we are seeing that since Heiskanen has been out.Hopefully it catches up come playoff time, crazy how much they miss heiskanen on there back end.
The whole team is like Rantanen now.Just incredible how Dallas continues to get thoroughly outplayed and get results.
Agreed, one big part here has been the play of both goalies lately. Been playing way above what I expected. Should start to level out thoIt makes a lot of sense. Heiskanen regularly plays almost half the game, so that's almost half the game of going back to skate pucks out or make perfect breakout passes. Harley can do it too but not to that extent, and we are seeing that since Heiskanen has been out.
They built their team this way. Lindell, Lybushkin, Ceci, Dumba. All intentional. They are banking on:
1) Being able to play "tough" hockey on D
2) Oettinger playing out of his mind
3) Outscoring their problems
To me, it is not sustainable. We'll see come playoff time if they can buck that unsustainable trend.
The crazy thing is they remind me SO much of the 13-14 Avs, and to a lesser extent the 23-24 Canucks. Teams with high-end offensive talent, 1-2 defensemen who can skate/pass, and big hulking plugs on D while relying on elite goaltending.
If it bleeds we can kill itFinally Dallas' luck catches up with them.

I really wish we would have gotten him from Boston too.
Kypreos has been suggesting that Crosby to the Avs could be a reality during the offseason. Hard to see how we are going to pull it off, but here's to hoping...Can still sign him this offseason... and trade for Crosby
Only team Crosby would be going to is the Avs, which will significantly decrease his trade value akin to Giroux and Marchand.Kypreos has been suggesting that Crosby to the Avs could be a reality during the offseason. Hard to see how we are going to pull it off, but here's to hoping...
Marty Necas can relate to this
