I don't remember ever seeing a team play that passive and get away with it. Very much feels like a stolen win.
When I started watching in the third period the Stars looked great!Nothing last week was as "bad" as that 3rd period. Just hope they look at this as "mana from Heaven" and not "a strategy to try again."

It's beyond idiotic, overplaying the other 5 dmen is so stupid. Nils didn't even see the ice after it went 4-2.1 f***ing minute for Nils tonight.
He somehow had his Game 3 minutes halved...from 2 to 1. My God.
He's literally being treated as an in game injury call up.

The thing that makes it make even less sense is Nils is generally having pretty positive impact when he does see the ice.

In a war of attrition, its stupid to play 5 guys extra like that. Suter doesn't play well when hes playing 20 minutes a night, we already know that, he didn't hit 19 last night but hes seen 20 at least once in the first 4 games. Lindell and Tanev playing top pairing type minutes so also not ideal. We've also seen disjointed play because the pairings are so disjointed.I wouldn't say any of the 5 main defenseman get overplayed though between 18:40 - 23:30 for Suter , Esa , Tanev and Harley and Miro got 28:30 . I don't think any of those minutes are too high . They somehow manage to play 5 defenseman reasonable minutes while playing a 6th 1-3 minutes.
My hope is the answer is “Nils small, Vegas big” and that if we move on and play a team that isn’t gigantic, that PDB intends to play him a lot more.Ideally this team plays at least 2 more series. All those extra minutes for the others adds up. It's beyond dumb and quite frankly self defeating. Nils obviously isn't to blame for bad goals and breakdowns because he hasn't been on the ice for any of them. So why are you worried he's going to cause more problems than the ones you're already getting in game?
Surprised he didn’t get one.Anyone else think Pavelski should get an assist on the Hintz ENG?
To me looked a clear deflection from a heel kick that got it to Roope.
Find it funny that the tiniest deflection of a stick will credit you a goal, but a play like Pavs last night doesn't get you an assist
