Focusing on even strength contributions from guys paid for offense, the following guys have zero five on five points this series:
Seguin
Robertson
Domi
Marchment
predicting the wild come out and try unsuccessfully to drag the stars into their goonerific ways, granting dallas powerplays that bury minny. the game devolves into a special teams contest and game misconducts are passed out like candy at a children's parade.
The Stars now have six 5v5 goals in five games. That's not a decent clip.As long as the team is getting 5v5 points at a decent clip, then it is very okay that not everyone, especially the guys who are normally good at 5v5, are not getting 5v5 points. Because that means they are drawing the best coverage away from guys who can beat weaker competition.
Which we see here.
An awkward start to and series so far but I see Dallas taking a step into the 2nd especially if we take game six in Minnesota.The Stars now have six 5v5 goals in five games. That's not a decent clip.
Thankfully, the PP is awesome and the Wild are idiots.
also wyatt is all around it. just a matter of time. that scrawny kid is even winning puck battles along the boards now. insane. get pavs back, and with otter getting his feet under him, this could be a really, really fun playoffs.An awkward start to and series so far but I see Dallas taking a step into the 2nd especially if we take game six in Minnesota.
Hintz is a big guy running with it and Robo looked a lot better tonight with some fight. Get Pavelski back and let Heiskanen and Otter continue with their game…
Agree, he has put in the most 5v5 forward minutes (from Razor) as a kid and has looked comfortable.also wyatt is all around it. just a matter of time. that scrawny kid is even winning puck battles along the boards now. insane. get pavs back, and with otter getting his feet under him, this could be a really, really fun playoffs.
