  1. when their debasement isn't worth whatever they're getting in return. notice which heads of state have visited this regime so far.
  2. another reason Nill should win GMOY again. number of players on the active roster drafted by each team in the conference finals: FLA: 4 CAR: 5 EDM: 8 DAL: 11 😶
  3. lol what a maroon
  4. my best bet is Back slides in and Lyubushkin comes out. think the extra size put him in over Blackwell. rolls 4 lines again and double shift Rantanen some, but maybe less than previous
  5. if you're bored today and want some Stars content before the game, these interviews were very good. I really like the mutual admiration and trust between Nill and DeBoer. Nill and DeBoer: https://www.nhl.com/stars/video/5-20-25-practice-jim-nill-pete-deboer-6373131939112 a lot of people talking today about Rantanen's shade at Esa and his steak cooking (non) abilities Heiskanen and Rantanen: https://www.nhl.com/stars/video/5-20-25-practice-miro-heiskanen-mikko-rantanen-6373129975112
  6. this sorta plays into why I haven't been buying the Carolina hype. they're not nearly as deep as the rest of the field and their "boring" brand of hockey seems to peter out long about this round, when the chaff has been separated and the real contenders have emerged. them seemingly not matching FLA's intensity isn't a great harbinger for them. it's only one game, but debuting a rookie d-man in the conference finals doesn't seem ideal.
  7. I'll be veep to start. We'll be a good 16-year duo
  8. and 75% of those people think it pertains to other people when they learn what it is
  9. good, get his exceptionally stupid ass out of Washington
  10. That was his playoff debut, no? Seems like a suspect time to try to get a new player up to speed
  11. Yikes, I might have given Carolina too much credit saying they'll lose in 7. Not a great start for them
  12. for the record, I was in no way trying to pump that guy up. let's just leave it at I didn't miss him, but happy to see he's ok
  13. Lol, glass banger is out of jail
  14. if I were security I would treat it like a planted bomb.
  15. badass, have a great time. get there early and soak it all in yup. nothing like it. and Dallas does it well. lots of rabid but knowledgeable folks.
  16. I mean, the answer isn't hard to find https://moneypuck.com/about.htm
  17. from moneypuck. check out the minutes for top players like McD and Drai compared to Moose. goalies
  18. doubt it, but they would probably not hesitate to swap in game if he's not playing well
  19. I can't believe there's no hockey tonight. I has a sad
  20. yeah, it was in the vegas series. been nearly two weeks since he last played and not expected to come back for at least another 10 days. Ekholm could return as soon as the 25th
  21. Here's why I think we beat the Oilers in 6 - I think we're top to bottom the better team. Don't believe me, let's math it out. Here's a little comparison I put together. First, a glossary and explainer: The skaters shown are the 25 top-performing players thus far for each team. All of the rankings below were first sorted by overall league rankings, then as compared to each other. For example, Zach Hyman was the #64 overall player in the preseason, when as compared to the other 49 contestants, made him the #8 player here. This gives a better basis for comparison category to category. Pre-Season: player ranking according to Yahoo! Fantasy Sports (avg stats/game) 2025 Final: Final player ranking at the end of the regular season as per Yahoo! Fantasy Sports (avg stats/game) Impact Rank: personal cocktail of stats where I give certain stats more weight than others. For instance, a short-handed goal is worth more than a regular goal. 2025 Playoffs: ranking among players in the playoffs Player Strength: In reverse order above - ((2025 Playoffx4)+(Impact Rankx3)+(2025 Finalx2)+(Pre-Seasonx1))/10 I gave the 2025 playoffs the most weight because how someone is playing right now to me says the most about what you can expect going forward. The second most important is what their expected performance will be be in any given game, which is what Impact Rank attempts to account for. The last two were important factors to help account for potential unrealized. Robo is a good example. Strong pre-season expectations/potential, decent regular season, playoff performance lacking. His current Player Strength sits around players like Henrique and Frederic - both players he is on paper better than. If he can outperform those two, then we're gonna be in good shape. Anyway, feel free to poke holes in it - I had fun making it. i like our chances, especially given home ice. EDM is starting somewhat hurt. They're without their top pair d-man in Ekholm and also without their normal backup in Pickard. Additionally the players they can swap in are better than what is our likely opening night bench. They have Arvidsson, Jeff Skinner and Ekholm. We have Back and Bourque and my guess is Lyubushkin slots out. He hasn't been as bad some claim. According the below, he's been better than Bichsel and Petro. Anywho. Go Stars!!!!!!!!!
