Bichsel with 2 assists tonight btw

Is it just me or are we getting a lot more defensive points all of a sudden since Miro went out

Everybody is picking up assists all of a sudden

 

[Troy McClure]

Stopping the icing was smart. Keep the clock running.

Razor is way too old to be constantly calling them the Sharkies

What's one supposed to watch for the next two weeks since no interest in the 'tournament'.

 

[redbeardtx]

Dumba is still looking for his first goal with the Stars?

LOL

Bichsel has vaulted past Dumba and Smith in points to tie Lundkvist. Ceci has a point already as a Star. I’d say a big reason for the output is Harley getting promoted on the PP and also Lundkvist being replaced by Bichsel/Ceci.

Poor Stankoven haha

 

[ugrakarma]

Iffy start but then the Sharks stopped swimming and drowned.

 

[starsfan86]

Bichsel was a +4 as well. Every player was either a plus or even except for one guy… Smith. LOSER

 

[Azzuri]

3 points on the road trip. Get healthy and enjoy the sun bois

 

[Blindsummit]

Well can't complain about that goal fest, after a dreadful start. Good response.

 

[LT]

I would have confidently voted Stankoven.

And even as of now you'd probably still be correct

Stankoven still has the same number of goals and 10 more assists than Bourque does

I never bothered to look until now and the most shocking thing about our defense to me is that Lundkvist is actually bigger than Dumba

Dumba is the smallest guy on the backend. 6'1, 180 lbs. Insane that he can still throw the checks he does at that size

 

[Elysian]

I want a convincing win no half measures

Nailed it

I wonder if that is part of the reason of his early decline (I never was a fan but he was a borderline top 4 NHLer).

Missed the game. Watched the highlights. Absolutely loved Benn’s emphatic non-celebration on that last goal.

Might be a contributing factor to some degree but his biggest problem is he was always a low IQ player,
He benefitted early from being paired with an, at that time, elite Ryan Suter. Who covered a lot of those warts. He typically got exposed in the PO where his poor decision making would shine through more.
He's has always been a bit of a crapshoot in the defensive zone, maybe not the outright liability he's been for the last 3-4yrs.
