Daniel Sedin is the leading playoff-bound scorer from the Western Conference alongside Jiri Hudler.
Jamie Benn and Tyler Seguin have more points but the Stars are now out of playoff contention.

Poor Mike...
Sidenote, it still amuses me how basically every Weber wears the number 6
Wonder if it's just mandatory at this point
He's making Clendening look like a horrid pickup.
Basically what we hope Clendening can be one day except retaining Weber doesn't cost us assets.

what the Sedins did tonight was a put a team on their back and carry them to victory. they completely owned the best possession team in the league, I think they had a 70% CF% with less than 50% offensive zone starts. I was at the game and the place was buzzing, what a performance by every single core player.

Why is Higgins so snake bit in everything but shootouts?
Like seriously seems to always hit the post or miss. But in shootouts he's pretty damn good.

That was the issue I had with the clendening pick up at the time. Not that I didn't like getting a player like him but I felt that we already had Weber so it seemed redundant. Ibwas worried that he would just steal weber's spot so I'm happy that don't happen, but it still makes me sad that we are going to let Weber walk after this year since we have to have clendening on the roster.
Weber has done everything the team has asked him to do and having a career year. I hope he gets a good contract and a good chance somewhere next season.

Well, that was satisfying. Ahhhhhhhh.
Would've ideally preferred to beat LA in regulation so that pesky loser point isn't hanging around in their point totals, but whatever. At least we got the W.
--Sedins: man, it's so nice to see how dominant they can still be, especially against this team, which is so good at shutting them down. One thing I miss about Kassian being on their line is how much bigger they play with him cruising around out there. Today they played like that. Actually going in on the d, fighting for pucks and forcing the play, then using that Sedin telepathy. Those little passes, whoops, where'd the puck go? Oop...nope, over here...ha ha...now over there...now NET. Damn, I missed that.
--Horvat line. They're actually effective because like the Sedins tonight, they get in on the forecheck and pressure the d (seeing a theme here?). Kenins back into Latvian Locomotive mode, good to see. And BoHo...man, it's so impressive to see how strong he is at 19. Dragging defenders along with him, keeping control and making the plays...he could be really dominant in a few years. He's a rookie and he's shoving aside guys with 30, 40 pounds and a decade experience on him. Love the hell out of this kid. Where's all the ZOMG we should've drafted Nichushkin!!!11!! crowd now?
--Bono's line less effective than games gone by, but LA is full of defensive beasts. Better luck next time.
--Vey/Matty/Dorsett easily the weakest line tonight. Obviously. GOD I miss Richardson and Kassian.
--Edler with his usual brain-dead giveaways again. Did play better overall than last game, but still determined to give the other team a fair chance to win it.
--Hamhuis turnstiled on LA goal, Tanev didn't tie up his man. Le sigh. Not a fan of them being the points on the 2nd unit PP, but as others have noticed it's not as if we have better options. Really missing those bombs from the point.
--Sbieksa must be stopped.
--Lack is God.
Word. Sad, really.

Our best PP dman is Weber.........gone are the days of Jovo/Salo/Ehrhoff
Word. Sad, really.
He did. That pairing was actually not terrible which is a bit frightening since it means it will continue.
Yeah its a complete head scratcher.
People like to defend the move by mentioning the need for younger talent in our system. Thing is Yannick Weber is only 26 yrs old. Only 4 years older than Clendening.
Corrado/Tanev are also under 26 and give us longer term depth on the right side.

That's not a bad thing?
Our best PP dman is a bottom pairing/depth dman.....that's pretty bad.

He's an offensive defenceman
I'd deem Edler as a two way dman, same with Hamhuis
Tanev is basically the epitome of a stay at home dman
Bieksa is...something
And Sbisa is never used
I really fail to see the problem
Especially when Weber is young and showing promise that he's getting better
