I think because Bourque is a better fourth liner than Dadonov is, and I mean that as a compliment to Bourque.and no Dadonov.. I don't know why Bourque is not perma glued to Johnston.

Blackwell might be a better 4th line grinder, but I would still play Dadonov in that slot in case there's an injury that happens during a game further up the lineup.Honestly, I could see Dadonov eating some scratches in the playoffs. Blackwell might be the better 4th line choice.. and when Seguin is back the decision is even easier.
Not to be dramatic, but if the Blackouts are gone forever, I hope the team never wins it all ever again.
I was thinking about shifts in the first last night, seems like PDB knows it takes a while for some players to get into the game, so he shortens shifts to start the game it seems like. I didn't check any numbers though.I don't understand the 15 second top line shifts and then they're removed right before O zone faceoffs
The important thing is that any future Rantanen blackout won't be a jersey foul
I’ve actually been impressed with the Fanatics jerseys I’ve purchased. Just as good as the Adidas ones. Will they screw them up in the future? Possibly.Yeah, but as long as they're made by Fanatics, they're by default a jersey foul.![]()
Yeah, so far I think you have to say they've done a surprisingly good job. Who knows whether the quality will go to shit and they'll start cutting corners at the factory when the spotlight is off, but I don't think there's any shame in having a Fanatics from the Premium level up.I’ve actually been impressed with the Fanatics jerseys I’ve purchased.

I think they would have showcased that in the 4 Nations like they typically do in All-Star games and previous World Cup of Hockey tourneys. The 4 Nations were all great so I’m confident they’ll be fine.My understanding is that Fanatics is still using the Adidas templates this season.
Next season is supposed to be 100% Fanatics, so that's when we'll see any quality changes (if any)

Yeah his penalty last night was complete BS. Guy just fell down and got called for trippingI'm rather worried about Bichsel's health and his reputation with refs. He has to learn how act a bit smarter when it comes to physicality.
He has been rather efficient with the puck though. I looked up Stars defensemen P/60 today:
Harley: 1.21
Bichsel: 0.93
Heiskanen: 0.93
Ceci: 0.82
Lindell: 0.77
Smith: 0.69
Lyubushkin: 0.68
Dumba: 0.61
Lundqvist: 0.53
He sat for high sticking the other day when the other player high sticked himself, think it was one of the Seattle gamesYeah his penalty last night was complete BS. Guy just fell down and got called for tripping
