I donno, I look at his numbers for every playoff run with Dallas and it's fine. Sure he isn't lighting it up but never a production issue IMO.

Seguin has been held together by tape for pretty much every Stars playoff run. He hasn't been good but he's not bad when you factor in his injuries. He needs to sit the last month of every season because he's never healthy in the playoffs.

The 2019 run was the last time he was healthy when the playoffs started and that was when he put up by far his best playoff numbers.

Seguin is a perfect candidate to Stone away on LTIR every year for R&R

The altitude narrative is dumb. These are professional athletes who are in amazing shape. It’s not an average person who has never dealt with it. Dallas won last time in Denver on the back end of a back-to-back. Altitude narrative is dumb.

It does help but not like as much as being a Kenyan helps in marathons or anything.

We've literally seen the altitude effect them in games.

If you don’t know how to play in altitude at this point I don’t have anything to say about your skill. These are pros. Does it catch you sometimes? Sure but that is probably more of an extended shift due to bad play not due to altitude. But it’s not this great advantage the media is making it out to be. They know what they are doing out there.

Pretty strong opinion for someone who doesn't understand at all why altitude is a factor.

It doesn't "catch you" sometimes, if you had been on a travel hockey team that's played in Denver before, you'd know that.

In higher altitude you breathe in cold dry air and you exhale the moisture from your body, making you dehydrate faster. You need to pound water and electrolytes to compensate for this in a short period.

Only thing dumb here is arguing about this shit. It's no wonder this place is dying.

You know cars lose around 15-20% of their performance in Colorado compared to Texas? Its why turbochargers are a necessity there. Cars are a hell of a lot finer tuned than any human.

I do understand altitude thank you. Lived in Denver for a few years. My whole point was this is being blown out of proportion. These are pros. Very high level of stamina. They know what they are doing. You are just nitpicking a statement and complaining about the arguing about it when that is exactly what you just did.
