Post-Game Talk: Series Discussion: Stars @ Blues

[KingBran]

Stars fan here, I think most here have been quite reasonable in their expectations of the series. Should be close. Best of luck!

**** YOU!




Lets have a good series mang.

 

[bleedblue1223]

Apparently Dallas has 3 top 10 defenders. I think we found the Dallas homer of the series.

 

[The Note]

Holy moley, don’t you dare try and say Binnington might be a good goalie on the main board.

 

[Note Worthy]

So are we still the cocky ones?

 

[Falco Lombardi]

If I have to read one more regress to the mean condescending post while Dallas has 100% penalty kill and a goalie with a save percentage above .940 I might die of laughter.

 

[Halak Ness Monster]

Let them talk whatever nonsense they want.

I do laugh at the Binnington narrative they are trying to create. The guy was one of the best goalies in the AHL last season and again this season. He got his chance in the NHL and he has taken it. Trying to sell him as an AHL back-up is crazy. Trying to compare him to Hammond, who had proven nothing in any pro League at that time, is crazy.

Binnington can't sustain his numbers? Certainly possible.

It's just that if we're talking about unsustainable numbers, then the first number to look at is the .945 sv% of Ben Bishop.

Absolutely! I've been saying this since November.

His career up til age 25 is EXACTLY the same as Ben Bishop's.

3rd round pick, stuck in AHL, got better and better over time, finally got a chance at age 25 and ran with it.

 

[67Blues]

I'm sure that Dallas fans (all 15 of them posting) are quite surprised that Bettman hasn't given them a pass to just go straight to the WCF. I mean come on, they are superior in every single facet of the game.

 

[bluebird enthusiast]

I imagine the Stars will get the split in the first two games. I'm hoping the stellar road game effort continues.

 

[Falco Lombardi]

Who? Klingberg, Miro, and who?

The first two he might have a case for

I'd almost rather start on the road. I feel like there's more pressure on the home team to not even start with a split.

Plus, the Blues have been a great road team so it would be nice to start off there.

Jets fan here, hope you guys take out Dallas, they are one of the dirtiest teams in the NHL. Whatever you guys do dont let up on that fore check, its very effective. Your going to need to protect Binn better then you did against the jets. Dallas's break out is far far more effective then the Jets vaunted "beer league rim around the boards." If they generate speed that top line is terrifying.

You guys have that defensive game to beat them thats for sure. I wish you all the best, as long as you guys or the Avs make it to the Stanley cup final im a happy guy, (ok honestly happier if it was the jets but beggars cant be choosers).

Bishop isnt that daunting as his mobility is suspect especially in close. The rebounds will be there.

I have you guys in 6 games. Good luck!

 

[bleedblue1223]

Lindell. It's not crazy until you get to Lindell. You can at least make an argument on the 1st 2.

 

[Falco Lombardi]

Lindell. It's not crazy until you get to Lindell. You can at least make an argument on the 1st 2.

Goodness gracious.

Esa Lindell is very solid defenseman and a good young player.

But yeah calling him a top 10 defender ruins that dude's credibility.

 

[LGB]

Goodness gracious.

Lindell seems very similar to Bouwmeester

 

[bleedblue1223]

Lindell seems very similar to Bouwmeester

Yeah, when Bouwmeester was younger.

 

[Falco Lombardi]

Lindell seems very similar to Bouwmeester

Not a terrible comp if we're talking about a younger Bouwmeester.

HerpaDerp with the BOOM ROASTED

 

[LGB51]

So are we still the cocky ones?

Oh yeah, even though holy moly do Stars fans think like really highly of their team. Like super high, you would swear they are icing a all star team over their in Dallas instead of the #1 wild card team

 

[LGB]

Yeah, when Bouwmeester was younger.

No, right now. They are statistically very similair, and fan perception of their play is also similarly much higher than stats suggest.

	TOI	GF/60	GA/60	CF/60	CA/60	CF% rel	xGF%	xGF% rel	PDO
Lindell	1547:25	1.98	1.94	50.21	61.61	-5.27	44.84	-8.59	101.71
Bouwmeester	1393:22	1.81	1.98	51.46	55.81	-5.89	49.47	-7.18	99.89

[TBODY] [/TBODY]

He's pretty much a luckier Bouwmeester.

 

[elkranio]

I hope they post some hip hop hype video on Twitter. Worked fine for the Jets.

Bouwmeester always had poor advanced stats, but in his younger days he had the offensive production to match Lindell's.

Its crazy how underrated JBo is. Yes, I said JBo is underrated.

Got a note from my kid's hockey team that does food stand at Enterprise. Note from Levy Food said games are Thursday/Saturday.
