Is Seguin seriously centering the 3rd line? If so, wtf happened to him?

What’s up with the Stars line combos? It’s like end of career Pat Quinn is making them.

I demand more Ryan Potulny.

Pretty solid defense for the stars. Their forward group is pretty sad though. Their “star” players have really lost it. Hopefully we pull out a win.

 

[LemmyUlanov55]

Seguin on the 3rd, Radulov on the 4th line? Alright...

Hope the boys start with some intensity right from the beginning, fresh legs should help.
Bouch & Broberg with another solid game and a hustling 3rd line would be a nice add-on to the McDrai show! Not worried about the early goal with Stuey in net, feels good.

Go Oilers!

...well, we now know who Reg's character was based off of in "The Great Outdoors" .

Their HC comes from the same era lol

How about this Bouchard kid? Is he still considered a rookie? Guy is leading the way on the back end.

He isn't flashy like Makar, Hughes, Fox. Doesn't have the legs. I wonder if he ends up like a Weber when he gets that man strength in his mid-late 20's. Gets his confidence, starts throwing people around. He has the shot and smarts.

His skating is pretty slow since the surgery last year, so he needs line-mates that can do the hard work for him. Maybe he'll recover some more over the course of the season and another off-season, maybe not.

Hey had the man strength in his mid/late single digits…

I was literally thinking the same thing. Or are they just that deep at center?

Also @Ginger Papa maybe a bit to soon on the Alec Baldwin one…

I believe he barely misses the cut to be considered a rookie

Many years ago, Mark Howe was inducted to the HHOF. He was interviewed a number of years later where he credited his father for his achievemnt. Mark had a great start to his career but was drinking and partying too much. His dad said that he would be an average player by 25 and out of the league by 28 or 30 if he kept that up. Mark changed his ways and had a hall of fame career.

I heard that interview a couple of years after Seguin was drafted. At the time, there were reports of Seguin partying a lot. It was a big part of the reason the Bruins traded him

Since the trade, there have been a few stories of Seguin's off ice activities. I am convinced that this is a big part of why he never became the player he could have been. Right now, he could be in the same conversation as McDavid and Drai but he is playing on the 3rd line...

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Excited for another strong from the team, including the new crew, Skinner, Broberg and Bouchard.

 

[LTIR]

Disappointing GDT ... No Deb does Dallas clips here!

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

I also love that Hyman and Puljujarvi would be leading the Stars in scoring.

I don't get why he'd be in the same convestation as those guys.

The guy is still one of the best from his draft year and was quite consistent until injuries hit him. Achilles tear, major hip surgery and missed all of last year. Partying or no partying that's tough to come back from and play at the same level.

He needs to be better no doubt, but I never thought he was going to be a top player in the game.

Clearly the 3C we need is Seguin!

This is aging poorly!

 

[Czechboy]

5-2 win for us.

Very true, though he had some very serious health issues, so that just tough for him.

@Ginger Papa someone taking the golden eye from the 5000 year old skeleton of the giant priestess makes sense why the last 2 years have sucked so badly. Then I saw the hermit crab in the skull and just went back to bed. I hope not an omen on tonight’s game!

Signed ; too scared to get up today.

Removed. My apologies if I caused any offence.

I want to keep my Like privileges
But here’s one that shouldn’t get me in trouble

Thought the same thing when I saw Seguin centering the third line. Shame. He had so much talent.

So is Skinner the confirmed starter? Is Broberg on the 2nd pair already?

Let's eat these guys up tonight. Thought this was a home game for some reason. I welcome the 30 minute earlier start though.
