He’s also very good at pinning the puck to the boards in the offensive zone
Glendening is fine, but pts differences don't lie so..
its kinda approaching apples v oranges?

It's amusing seeing empty seats in Chicago again. Weren't their fans adamant about not being bandwagoners?

its a weeknight and it sucks driving there
easy enough to forecast the L for a team that is still in the teardown stage of a big rebuild
i hear you but if the neck hadn't already been stepped on w Stalock being a turd it might be worth sticking this out... buuuut its not.
and i get being pissed off about getting hit, but it really is on him
oof, poor fight choice

Dellandrea sucks at fighting as well. What a trash 1st round pick. He needs another year in the AHL.

I've decided Hakanpaa would have played zero career NHL games if he was 6'0. The guy handles the puck like a beer leaguer.

Perhaps should have rerolled for more dexterity in character creation.

He was just hoping to find a +10 dexterity hockey stick.
Probably trying to collect a full Dexterity Build. Loot is rare though

Apparently (from people who watched the replay closely), Murphy wanted to fight Glendening for hitting Stalock, but Dellandrea decided to step in and take the fight instead.
I guess hockey logic says that Dellandrea fighting Murphy makes up for Glendenning running Stalock, cuz hoky playrs r smrt.

It's actually hilarious to think back to the meltdown the boards had when it was announced Spott was joining the team. Especially given that Spott's track record did not match his reputation given to him by fans.
The Stars have a top 3-5 powerplay in the league and compared to last year the PP is scoring 10% more, attempting 21% more shots, and generating 25% more expected goals. Complete makeover.

The biggest PP change I've picked up on is improved entries. The old PP would do the deep drop, then have four guys standing at the blueline while one guy tries to carry it in, which only works reliably if you've got someone like Spezza to carry it. After failing at that a couple of times, the puck carrier would start dumping it in, but since everyone else is standing still, it was a possession loss almost every time.
Now, they try to have a couple of guys moving with the puck carrier, flanking him so he's got more options and it's harder to defend. Improved entries = improved o-zone possession time = improved success rate.
