GDT: [Game #69] Dallas Stars vs. Philadelphia Flyers – 1:00 PM CT (Victory+)

Miro is clearly the MVP of this team. They look completely different without him.

 

[joshik]

Give me Duchene and Rantanen in OT

just bench rantanen

 

[JeffP]

wow. okay.

 

[piqued]

Great job by JRob to attack Ersson there and not let the Flyers get easy possession

Harley just randomly appears when he senses a goal

 

[Kcb12345]

Harley!

 

[ugrakarma]

Harley got a gift.

 

[redbeardtx]

OH SHIT HARLEY

 

[Troy McClure]

Let’s f*** around for 40 minutes because Harley will bail us out.

 

[dalness]

HARLEY!!

 

[account deactivated]

Harley might have his defensive flubs, but damn he's good on offense.

Harley and Miro are just the new models of Klingberg and Lindell.

 

[joshik]

lol

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Seems like an underserved win from what I witnessed.

 

[JeffP]

game stolen unintentionally gifted

hey we take those

 

[starsfan86]

just bench rantanen

Rantanen is not the problem. Hintz and Robertson were both terrible with the puck. At least he was trying to make plays

 

[catters078]

Yeh I thought Rantanen was looking better tonight. It will come no concern.

Great hustle Robertson on the OT winner

 

[Kcb12345]

Rantanen is not the problem. Hintz and Robertson were both terrible with the puck. At least he was trying to make plays

That line just isn't going to work. It'll continue until it's changed

I do think the effort was there for Rantanen tonight though. Nothing you can do about the chemistry not being there

 

[joshik]

Rantanen is not the problem. Hintz and Robertson were both terrible with the puck. At least he was trying to make plays

I dont think i have seen rantanen move he is just scarecrow scaring all pucks

 

[joshik]

Just break 1line totally not even robo hintz together

 

[Kcb12345]

Rantanen is not the problem. Hintz and Robertson were both terrible with the puck. At least he was trying to make plays

We all saw how quickly Rantanen almost (should've) had an assist when he shared the ice with Duchene for 10 seconds in the 2nd period lol

 

[northstars]

Are you not entertained? A few bag skates might be in order.

 

[piqued]

Almost as important as getting Rantanen away from Hintz is getting Wyatt away from the utter voids of Benn and Dadonov

 

[Kcb12345]

Also, I know the Heiskanen injury sucks but it's working wonders for what the future holds for Harley. He's a genuine #1 Dman and I'm not sure we ever would've truly known what he's capable of without this injury

As we all have figured out, the coaching staff likes to stick to things. It's unbelievable they were double-shifting Miro on the PP all this time

 

[ugrakarma]

As much as the line blender is overused, sometimes it could be useful.

Yeah these lines are so f***ed. Get that napkin back out Petey

Jake's weakness has been figured out looks like. Defense probably needs to be working on shutting down these chances...

DeSmith for comparison. I'd imagine DeSmith's chart would look pretty different if he had to play a starters workload.

How much of this is related to defensive sides being so different, though? DeSmith not having the same chart challenges that notion, but there's a bit of the same pattern and DeSmith has a smaller sample size, especially without Heiskanen.
