  1. I think that is severely shortchanging how this team was purposely built. If you look at the last half dozen or so champs, many of them were teams built like us (STL, VGK, FLA) where they had very even team depth and maybe a sprinkling of superstars. I almost included TBL, but really with Kucherov, Stamkos, and Vasi on those teams, it's hard to argue they weren't top heavy. but part of the reason teams like EDM and COL (and to an extent teams like TOR) find it hard to break through is they rely too much on their top talent. when those guys aren't going, neither is the team. we've been purposely built to not have a drop off in production with the loss of any one player. it's what made WPG so dangerous and why FLA will likely find themselves back in the finals. hopefully our glut of high-end, but not overly star-studded lineup can finally start producing like we know they can. I don't care if it's 5v5 or on the PP (and trust me, neither do the players), we need all of our lines chipping in or we're toast. My bet is if we get points from 3 or more lines tonight, we will win handily.
  2. because there has never been one like this in the US and there never would have been unless a certain dotard was in charge.
  3. hey, Robo can't start a goal streak until he has one, which he got last game. but yeah, we need cohesion and line-by-line pressure. and stay out of the box.
  4. hoo buddy, little do you know I am full of both.
  5. First time for everything?
  6. it doesn't. but it's always good to keep reminding people.
  7. even mediocre Skinner and some puck luck would do. the first goal feels pretty big tonight, but as we've seen, it's not a complete determinant, but it has been the last couple of games.
  8. good, she's demonstrated she's more than capable of not only deflecting that shit, but turning it back on them. I hope she continues to pursue higher office
  9. Connor Brown is out and Roope likely in. If we come out and play like we don't want to lose and stay disciplined, I like our chances to make this a 3-game series.
  10. well, it was my first and only time to ever go. my FIL is in town and it was one of his favorite places to go. considering it's the last one, I don't think my chastising them about their tv choices is going to change much
  11. Get through this and then keep pushing. One gets past skinner and he'll fold
  12. Fucking this. Was he this bad as an on ice official?
  13. How we feeling today? Hearing we will get an update on Roope at 1p. Not sure if that's our time or eastern. My guess is he plays, but i won't be surprised if he doesn't
  14. I don't think Nazi Barbie is an unwarranted moniker for this cunt
  15. CAR is toast. They can maybe hope to win the next game and prolong the inevitable, but they're a dead team walking
  16. Definitely need to see more out of the forward group, especially if Roope is not able to go. It's funny the narrative is the Stars need to do more offensively, but both teams have scored 6 goals. ah well, nevertheless
  17. no additional discipline for Nurse. at least they have set the standard. go do your thing, Jamie
