Happy the Stars won, but that third period was brutal; inexcusable. Heiskenen botched multiple chances for easy clears, which led to all sorts of unnecessary problems. Let's not forget the B's looked solid in Game 1 against Tampa; took their foot off the gas and nearly gave it away, then proceeded to lose four straight. At least Dallas can hit an empty net.

Khudobin is a tremendous story, of course. But it's also great seeing a journeyman like Joel Hanley and an undrafted Joel Kiviranta seizing the moment.

Maroon's shooting the puck in the Dallas bench was bush league chicken-bleep. Then you had Eddie O suggesting he was flipping the puck to the official? Did he have Maroon confused with Henrik Sedin?


“Edzo” seems to really love his snot nosed bad guy type teams

Then you have Dickinson (6'2" - 200 lbs), Radulov (6'2" - 205 lbs), Comeau (6'2" - 202 lbs), and, while not the most physical guy, Seguin (6'1" - 200 lbs). Several others like Janmark and Klingberg are over 6'0" and at least 190 lbs.

They can also skate well to go with their size which is a good combo to have going against a team like Tampa

I thought that name seemed familiar. Didn't know much about Oleksiak. His sister, Penny, is an Olympic swimmer who won gold and silver at the 2016 games. I believe they're from my neighbourhood – the Beaches, in Toronto.

Jamie Oleksiak - Wikipedia

I like how he was traded to Pittsburgh as a borderline bust, found his game there, then built on his game when traded back to Dallas roughly a year later and now seems like a fan favourite.

Yet another back to back schedule in the Bubble Cup Finals.

Gross.
