If scratching doesn't work it's time to move up to belly rubs?

Faksa line has to be the worst shut down line in the league I would think?

It finally connected with me today. Faksa is Dallas's forward version of Rasmus Ristolainen. He has the reputation for playing a lot of tough shutdown minutes, but he's terrible at it and gets caved in.

Just because a player plays big minutes doesn't mean he should.

 

[Elysian]

Glendenning still had wheels but no finish.

He didn't have a stick for that extended shift before the icing, so probably the most fresh guy out there, especially since he didn't go full Erik Cole.

Risto is such a good comparison. I like that. Also ... someone else had a similar thought today ....

Yeah because no other player in the entire league plays the tough minutes and is capable of producing. He's truly a unicorn when it comes to shutdown minutes.

 

[ugrakarma]

PK better work.

I am fairly sure I was reading that today and that's what lead me to the Risto comparison!

Also Faksa starts 15% of his time in the defensive zone, if you take out on the fly starts it is closer to 35%.

 

[Rory]

Dumb penalty

Zone start stats are meaningless.

 

[ugrakarma]

Petterson and it's 1-1.

 

[Elysian]

Of all the things they ignore in this game, they call that....

 

[The Tourist]

Let everything go all game and then call something iffy as hell.

 

[Spotty 2 Hotty]

Suter not doing anything on that PK, lol.

 

[Rory]

Dumb penalty. That cost us and was unnecessary. You can’t keep shoving a guy like that

 

[Captain Awesome]

Zone start stats are meaningless.

Just responding to Satan's post honestly, it's wrong so I corrected it. Regardless, I can safely conclude that whatever deployment Faksa is getting, he is bad at it.

 

[Rory]

Harley has been watching some klingberg tape while sitting.

 

[Elysian]

And the make up call

 

[ugrakarma]

Even up call.

 

[JeffP]

reffin up the game :\ oh well

 

[Satan]

We're in the Riley Sheahan, Nic Dowd, Teddy Blueger, Curtis Lazar, Thomas Novak realm. Most of these players are negative GAR. This issue isn't specific to the Dallas Stars.

Seguin lmao what a horrible shot choice

 

[The Tourist]

Dumb shot by Seguin. At least keep it low for a rebound off the pads.

 

[Elysian]

Seguin lmao what a horrible shot choice

He thought Demko needed his belly button tickled.

 

[Rory]

Why is Lindell out there?
