GDT: [#50] Buffalo Sabres at Dallas Stars, 7:30 PM CST (FS-SW) - DAHLIN vs HEISKANEN

[Satan]

im asking how the **** it got started

blame it on the culture

 

[Magic Mittens]

I'll take the 2 points

I believe Bishop is one of the top goalies in the league with 30+ games and is having one of his better seasons. We're gonna need him to be solid down the stretch. Also will need some goals...

 

[brighteststars]

Well 2 pts is 2 pts. We did generate changes and should've scored more than 1 but Ullmark was very good. These past few games have been the fastest Dal has looked since 15-16.

Ruff had them icing it all the time. But, back then we had guys that could get there to grab the puck

Also we use to ice it all the time when the other team had an empty net

That's just my guess when

Well bright side at least we have Khudobin, but let's hope it doesnt come to that

 

[serp]

blame it on the culture

Culture of excellence in terms of icing though. We're #1 and have been for years !

Well...need more offense but I'll take the win

 

[brighteststars]

Exactly. Has Faksa and Comeau gotten Benn going? LOL

Finally Jamie Benn had 6 SOG . When was the last time that happened ? Last season ?

 

[LT]

Finally Jamie Benn had 6 SOG . When was the last time that happened ? Last season ?

His third game of the season with 6 SOG.

The other two?

The second game of the season, when we blew out Winnipeg.
The comeback win against Anaheim with the absurd 2nd period push.

 

[LT]

This season, when Benn has 4+ SOG in a game, the Stars are 10-3-0.

When he has 0 or 1 SOG, the Stars are 4-10-1.

 

[Kcb12345]

October 13th and October 6th. He hit 6 shots in both of those

Edit: nvm I was beat to it

Close enough . Been a while he was noticeable on offense like this . He still scored but outside of that he was invisible on offense too often.

 

[LT]

This season, when Benn has 4+ SOG in a game, the Stars are 10-3-0.

When he has 0 or 1 SOG, the Stars are 4-10-1.

Just for reference:

Seguin with 4+ SOG: 13-9-2

Seguin with 0-1 SOG: 3-1-0 (too small of a sample)

Seems like this team lives and dies by Jamie's lead.

Yes it does. It's why passenger Jamie Benn can't happen . It tanks the team.

 

[Satan]

They’re both proxies for the same thing.

Seriously Taylor Fedun has 22 points in 73 NHL games and is career +2 ( despite playing on a couple of bad teams ) . How has he only played 73 NHL games at this point ? I see nothing in his game that doesn't look like an NHL player. Can shoot , can pass , can defend and plays smart. He's not a physical guy but thats sort of going away anyway .

His analytics with the Sabres two years ago aren't even all that bad. Not close to how great they look with the Stars but still decent enough for a third pairing guy.

It just confuses the hell out of me how that guy never got a real NHL chance previously. I know he had a tough injury and all but that was in pre-season of 2011-12 but thats now 8 years ago.

I mean the only reason he even got a chance here is because we had like 6 defenseman on IR or something and some of the guys we had to call up ( Ben Gleason i'm looking at you ) are way too green for the NHL.

He's going to be decent though

 

[serp]

He's going to be decent though

Yeah but he was not ready to be called up to the NHL this season. It just happened because we had nobody else left.
