Good outcome. As shitty as the feels to say. Watched just to see Lysell and Minton, as I've tuned things out lately.

I'd be shocked if Minton isn't a regular next year. Plays in the right areas. Puck follows him, similar to Poitras, but with a little more size and patience. Lysell still has some work to do, but I thought he kept up with Middlestat and Zacha offensively. That line created a lot of chances. Not 100% sold. This time of year is difficult to judge.

If the intention is to compete next year, the focus in the off-season should be on top tier talent.... not depth IMO. I think the secondary and tertiary players are there.
 
My Center Ice feed missed the opening of the awards presentation. I was happy to later find out Parker Wotherspoon won the Bucyk award; solid depth defenseman and good guy.

The Chicago goals weren't awful; but in the the 2023 Dream Season (which feels like an eternity ago), Swayman stops at least 2, maybe 3 of those.

Credit to Soderblom, but at some point when middle of the pack (or lesser) goalies way outperform their stats against the B's, it's more lack of finish. Remember the game Kevin Lankinen had in Boston?
 
That was some high quality tanking there.

Swayman showing why he deserves to be named the second star for his play this season. Not. I mean did anyone else find that weird? Not even third star but ahead of Geekie second star. Based on what? Maybe 3 games? THIS SEASON how on earth does he get named second best player on the team? This bugged me.

So weird to be happy about losing a game.

The three stars are math only: literally how many times the players have been voted stars of the game. I believe Swayman ended up there because they had to remove all the votes for Marchy and that skewed the numbers
