Radulov was named a 3rd star in 5-2 win without scoring a single point

[Kshahdoo]

He wasn't even a plus player. It's kinda weird, isn't it?

Ray Emery, was it a 7-0 loss? Get's 3rd star for..... beating up Brayden Holtby.

That was weird.

 

[NobleSix]

Not really. He was buzzing all night and played a really solid game. He was one of the Habs best forwards tonight, and has been impressive since his debut in preseason.

I didn't watch the game, but he was on the ice for the Canadiens' third and fifth goals.



He might not have scored, but it appears that he played very well.

Did you watch the game?

He was our best forward. As he's been all season (well, 4 games). He creates so much offensively, he battles hard and protects the puck extremely well.

The points aren't there because his linemates have been snakebit, especially Plekanec, but they'll come in time.

 

[TT1]

He's consistently our best forward night after night (well along with Gallagher, i'll give the edge to Gally due to having produced more). It's just that offensively Plekanec is a boat anchor.

That whole situation was really classless. But it's Ray Emery we're talking about so of course it was.

the 3 *'s are gimmicks to make canadian fans feel happy

as an example, the hurricanes just boat raced the flames in a game that was not as close as the score and only had one star, and it wasn't even one that deserved it

forget who it was, but the third star was a flame who had 4 blocks

nothing else

just four blocks

noah hanifin had 3 assists and played a helluva game

but was not even a star rofl

but home slice with four blocks is

take the 3 stars with a grain of salt

then throw said grain in the trash tbh

The only weird thing is that usually the 3 stars end up being the players with the best stats, regardless if they played like **** in other aspects of the game.

Radulov was the best forward tonight, and its only fair that he got a star

The home broadcasters usually decide the three stars, unless it's a nationally-broadcast game.

Plekanec had 2 points in the game, though...

Got him in 7th round on fantasy team. Unfortunately, 1st 2nd or 3rd stars aren't categories. Why don't they get him away from Plekanec

Not worthy of a stand-alone thread.
