Around the NHL: Part XIII – Lamie Benn Edition

[PuckLuck3043]

All the more reason we need this first rounder. The Rangers are ass in selecting 2nd rounders.

Yes and no. Michael Sauer, Stepan, Anisimov, and Dubinsky were all 2nd rounders.

At least Dallas has gotten a little more active the longer this game as gone on.

 

[Maximus]

Overtime playoff hockey is the best thing in sports.

Just a hunch but for some reason some dude Stephan Matteau apparently agrees with this as well as he liked OT as well...lol

 

[theFiGS]

Both have sucked. Seguin had a couple of goals but overall has been just as bad

Seguin has been invisible but what about spezza? I don't think he even suited up this game

 

[Inferno]

This game is gonna end on a goal off of someone’s ass or something.

There’s a reason he’s on the 4th line.

Sometimes you watch a team and feel that they’re playing “to not lose.”

I...don’t really know what the Stars are playing in this game.

Logically the Blues should win. But at this point, you almost want the Stars to win if for no other reason than Bishop.

 

[aufheben]

I hope a sock goes missing from every load of Jamie Benn’s laundry for the rest of his life.

 

[Tob]

I'll settle for 100 of those mugs instead of a chance at the 1st.

I’m not sure what exactly describes Dallas’ game right now.

 

[bl02]

Benn has been bad but did Seguin just go home? I haven't heard his name all OT, he's supposed to be the sniper and is spezza scratched? Confusing lines in dallas

He’s a liability. Him and Fedun.

 

[bobbop]

This is just nerve wracking.

 

[theFiGS]

There’s a reason he’s on the 4th line.

damn I didn't realize we were at that point of spezzas career, such a clutch player in the playoffs with Ottawa over the years

Chinese fire drill

 

[trilobyte]

This game forced me to indulge in some 1942 Don Julio anejo. Helping to cope.

I feel no sympathy for you at all now

 

[JRinNYC]

I hope a sock goes missing from every load of Jamie Benn’s laundry for the rest of his life.

Especially if it's his hockey socks.

 

[17futurecap]

While the Blues had all the possession that overtime, almost felt like the Stars wound up with more high danger chances.

That's way over the line!

 

[Ghost of jas]

Chinese fire drill

Too organized

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

I’m not sure what exactly describes Dallas’ game right now.

If this were a basketball game, it’d be about 250-2 right now.

 

[trilobyte]

I think they said this is his 6th game 7, guys like that are what makes a team go when their captain and top 3 player is asleep in ot of a game 7 in playoffs

Yeah, and just watching him, he works his butt off all the time. I remember when he entered the league, the buzz was all about how fast he was which was true but the guy is a pro.

 

[Edge]

Yes and no. Michael Sauer, Stepan, Anisimov, and Dubinsky were all 2nd rounders.

It’s a tale of two teams.

Prior to 2008 they were solid. Since that time, they’ve been a failure.

Now some of that is a result of them only picking a player in the second 60 percent of the time, but they should still be better than one Boo Nieves selection over that span as well.

Having said that, I think any seconds will be on the trade table in this draft.

 

[haohmaru]

Man, these guys are gassed - going to lead to a huge mistake that wins the game. 50/50 at this point - throw periods 2 & 3 out the window.

 

[Edge]

While the Blues had all the possession that overtime, almost felt like the Stars wound up with more high danger chances.

They keep coming alive at the end of the periods, only to scare themselves during the intermissions.

 

[Maximus]

Our boys not being in the playoffs...don't get me wrong, I can't wait till we are back which IMO will be next year. But still with our team not in, it sure makes the playoffs more enjoyable to watch from an empirical perspective..that's for damn sure. Heck this might be the best playoffs I've ever seen in close to 45 years...it's been phenomenal.
