[JesusNPucks]

After coming up short against the TBL, this seems to be a good “measuring stick” game. #GoStars

Boston is a great team having a great year but am I the only one that looks at their lineup and asks how are they so good? It's a good team on paper but I don't see a 39-8-5 team when I look at their roster. Am I delusional?

It's fairly mystifying. Obviously they have a dominant line taking one last hurrah with Bergeron close to retirement. But you could say the same thing about Pavelski and the Stars. Then they go and drag Kreijci back from overseas and it somehow works and he hasn't fallen off. Then you have a goalie nearing 30 who's never been an undisputed starter decide to career by a massive margin. Then our ne'er-do-well ex-coach comes in and catches lightning in a bottle with a different style than he used here. It's something of an argument for just not having bad players anywhere I guess. Everyone is pretty functional. I shouldn't minimize the impact of McAvoy. If your team has a #1 D you're probably going to be good, the only question is how good. (Unless you're the Sharks) Also Grzelcyk has kind of gone nuts and Lindholm eats minutes.

Feels like all Boston games in recent seasons have been disappointing, be nice to see a clear win for a change.

Because depth matters more than superstars in the modern NHL, though very few GMs seem to have gotten the message despite the success of Vegas in their first year.

If you can put together a team with 3 second lines plus 1 third line, 3 second pairs, and back them up with a good goalie, you will win a Cup or 3.

Last season they beat Boston at home like 6-1

Yeah, I guess they did, forgot about that one. They fail so much against the popular Eastern teams that I suppose I forget their few successes.

I wouldn't mind a positive surprise.

 

[Spotty 2 Hotty]

Had a romantic, LED candle-lit dinner with myself that consisted of Domino's BBQ chicken pizza, followed by a tasty edible, and now I'm just melting into my couch hoping the game is at least good and not an embarrassing mess.

 

[Spotty 2 Hotty]

Am I really really high or did the commentary go out for everyone else too?

It's gone.

 

[Spotty 2 Hotty]

It's gone.

Okay, I tried concentrating really hard just in case, then it came back, so thanks for confirmation.

 

[ugrakarma]

Just a glitch nothing long term.

 

[JeffP]

well, okay.

maybe we get a middling make-up call for this middling penalty

 

[The Tourist]

They called that? Gonna be a long night of shitty calls if that was hooking.

 

[JeffP]

bounced off of his mask and he punched it back out.. yeesh

 

[ugrakarma]

Living right.

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Pavelski cant even skate with the puck now? Jesus Christ next season is going to be bad with that contract.
