Remember when the Oilers ditched Eberle because he wasn’t a playoff performer?
I was referring to the fact that he worked in PR and ended up tweeting something ignorant.
Just because he was a editor of a blog where a few contributors are now working for NHL teams doesn't mean those contributors will share with Drance inside information. I would think that most people keep in touch with their former colleagues over their former boss.
Notice how Tuch couldn't score a single goal against a team that can play actual defence? Not hard to defend that one trick pony. The Canucks made him look like a superstar

He honestly wasn't that much of a factor outside of 2 games.

I actually thought that once Myers was matched up against Tuch, Tuch wasn't really noticeable.

Vegas series was there for the taking it didn't help that Hughes played poorly for most of it but he did confirm today he was injured.

He more or less disclosed his injury post game, after the elimination game...I believe he was injured before Reaves literally destroyed him on the end boards..He started to get his mojo back at the end of the series.
Hughes was outstanding in the MIN and STL series...Shea Theodore was excellent for Vegas against the Canucks..
No they didn't. And they generated more than the canucks.
edit: If my math is correct...
5-on-5 the canucks averaged 28 scoring chances against. The stars 17.
All situations it was 39 vs 26.
Chances for the canucks averaged 17 vs 19 for dallas. 24 vs 27 all situations. So the canucks generated a bit less 5-on-5 but gave up way more. WAY more.
5-on-5 stats in the DAllas series have Dallas with 45-55% share depending on category. The canucks are ~35% across the board.
xGA 5-on-5 between DAllas and the Canucks was 0.8 goals in DAllas' favor. Similar amount in all situations.
There is no question that Dallas limited chances better than the canucks over the course of a series. The xGA for the canucks was nearly 4 for goodness sakes.

On the wagon
To be fair, given that you need 4 games to win a series, 2 games is pretty huge for a 3rd line winger.

also no question that vegas' dominance of possession was in significant part an illusion. they dominated the canucks and dallas 5v5 but, despite good goaltending, they nearly lost to the canucks and they lost to dallas in 5.

if i read this right, corsi has been irrelevant in these playoffs.
Team Season Totals - Natural Stat Trick
of the 11 teams with positive 5v5 corsi, 8 were eliminated by the end of the first round.
so only 3 positive corsi teams made the final 8.
and tampa is the only one still in the running.

And dallas likely wouldn't have stopped those plays either. Tuch is a streaky player, but he's good.
Yes, and still both teams needed excellent goaltending to have a chance (and in the Canucks case, beyond excellent)

Buffalo just robbed Minnesota. Staal for a fourth liner? Wtf
And to think I was speculating Buffalo might entertain Johansson for Beagle or Sutter. I'm done handicapping trades this off-season, holy shit.
