  1. I disagree on Robo. But I haven’t looked at any of the advanced stats. It’s just my gut. At one time, Benn was a premiere power forward in the NHL. Those days are long gone.
  2. Those guys don’t exactly grow on trees. Jury is out on Rantanen for me. I want to see him get a full year with this team. Roope is a nice player. He’s fast as hell but he’s hurt a lot. He should probably be the #2 center on a Cup winner. Again, I’m really, really disappointed in the egg laid by Wyatt this postseason. I hope we hear that he was battling something because that needs to be our guy. Our trouble is that we don’t get top five picks often. We got Miro at #3 and I can’t think of another top 10 pick in all the years we’ve had the team in Dallas. We aren’t going to get a shot at McDavid, Matthews, Bedard, etc.
  3. Agree with this. I keep waiting for Otter to become that shut-down goalie and he just can’t get there. Another year where he gets outplayed by somebody he should be better than — Jordan Binnington/Blues, Adin Hill/Knights, Skinner/Oilers x 2 and so on. The best playoff series I think he ever played was against the Flames in the bubble. He hasn’t gotten back to that level since.
  4. Robo was hot garbage most of the playoffs. He needs space to score. The trouble is that space disappears in the playoffs unless you create it yourself. He doesn’t have that type of game. He played well tonight but the first goal was a terrible turnover and he wound up in the slot with no one around him. I’d trade him in a heartbeat if we could get a good return. Benn was a great player at one time. He won the scoring title one season. He’s got nothing left at this point, though. He was simply invisible against the Oilers because he can’t keep up with their best athletes.
  5. Finals start Wednesday in Edmonton
  6. Maybe my favorite show ever. This or Seinfeld.
  7. Xavier Leggette went to his first NHL game and fucking loved it! (This video is awesome.) https://www.facebook.com/share/v/16bwstZKMm/?mibextid=UalRPS
  8. You’re having a night. Among the final four teams the past three years. Lost to the Cup champ in 2023, lost to the 7-game runner up in 2024 and who knows this year. What if Edmonton is holding the Cup in two weeks? No
  9. Wyatt Johnston finishes at -16 in the playoffs, which I think is the worst in the history of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
  10. It’s hard to repeat and as long as the Oilers have McDavid, they’ve got a chance. McDavid will win a Cup in his career, I’m sure of it. I just have a feeling it’s their turn. I expect a good series.
  11. That’s just atrocious luck I don’t think so. I wouldn’t be shocked to see Edmonton win the Cup.
  12. That’s the Skinner I was expecting in this series
  13. More Jake Tapper https://www.threads.com/@ronaldfilipkowski/post/DKQkqiUR7cE?xmt=AQF0SSNoSjBZbXFSSDwwSUlWMnf_qOrGzsgsV-5-qE0ktg
  14. Mush, what would you say you do here?
  15. Nice that Seguin drew penalty but how does he not get a shot off there?
  16. Robertson with an even strength goal!
  17. Gutless performance. What a joke.
  18. At least Carolina came out with their hair on fire last night. They lost but they didn’t embarrass themselves.
  19. Nice play rookie [emoji849]
  20. Checking back in on this thread for the first time in a long time. Best readily-available chicken I've found in Dallas, I think, is Mike's Chicken. The OG spot was in an coin-op laundromat on Maple near Old Parkland but now they've expanded into their own space and added a second location.
  21. Agreed. The very opening scene where he "hacks" himself seemed a bit forced/rushed/too simple.
  22. https://www.mediaite.com/media/news/trump-always-chickens-out-goes-back-further-than-you-think-started-on-msnbc/
