After mulling it over for a few months, I decided to launch a website. I'll be writing during the playoffs most every day. Here's a piece for today on the anticipation and dread of the playoffs. Thanks for reading!

To say that it's fine to knock a play unconscious when the puck is that far away is just unthinkable. I thought this conversation changed a decade ago, but apparently the playoffs turn every official into a coward.

lol Janmark actually shanked that shot wide of the open net, but it ended up hitting Barkov and bouncing back in.

This decision by Miro to spin the opposite direction in order to get his stick in the lane is so low-key brilliant

Good grief, McDavid just blatantly carrying the puck, and no call. The level of deference is getting absurd.

The Dallas Stars have as easy a path to the Stanley Cup Final as anyone could wish for, and they don't even have the best team in the East waiting for them.
If they can't show up for Game 7 at home, that's on them. The door is open; all they have to do is go through it.

Stars are gonna win the Central Division. Chris Tanev has fixed the defensive depth, the forward corps is the envy of every other team in the league, and Jake Oettinger looks ready.
It's time to believe.

Really stinks for the whole team to work so hard the entire game, only to have an entitled, lazy veteran prove every criticism about him true in a crucial moment and throw the game away.

Good heavens, what a cowardly bit of officiating. No penalty called in the play, so they call a major when Theodore is down in order to review it, then end up giving a minor to justify their decision. Seguin's back might have grazed Theodore's visor. What are we even doing?

Regardless of how this game turns out, you'd really hope upper management doesn't see this series as a validation of anything about Dallas Stars Philosophy other than Jake Oettinger. Gotta find a way to have more offensive leverage. They just gotta.

The point.
Stephen Johns was emotional talking about his goal tonight. His parents where here and watched him play for the first time in more than 2 years. He pointed to them in stands. This goal was something he’d wondered if it would ever happen again

At 5v5, Jake Oettinger has been the best goaltender in the playoffs so far. He's rocking a .940 save percentage despite facing a loaded Vegas team for seven games, Colorado for six games, and Draisaitl/Hyman/McDavid for two more.
(This is very good.)

Jeff Marek said Friday that he believes the Stars offered Klingberg 8 years at $7 million AAV earlier in the year, but Klingberg's camp wanted closer to 8x8 (which Marek reported at the time). If his agent told him not to take that, you can pretty well understand why he moved on.

Dallas is unrecognizable since going up 2-0 last game. Tentative in every part of the ice.

That's the worst dive I've seen since the restart, by Marchessault. Holy moly.

Amazing how Tampa has overcome so many obstacles to get this far, like the Columbus Blue Jackets, the Bruins' backup goalie, and those four goals the Islanders scored. Now let's see if they can beat the Stars' backup goalie and half a roster, or if they haven't yet learned how

It takes Jamie Benn about half a second to join the fray after Tom Wilson arrived. Right on his tail at about 200mph.

Stars spotted Tampa three goals, lost a forward to injury, and weren't given a clear 5v3 opportunity, and they were a Jamie Benn shot just over the net from overtime. Yeah, they can handle this team. Tampa might win one more game.

Fun little fact: the Stars traded Dellandrea for a 2025 4th-round pick that San Jose got from Winnipeg in 2023 for Vladislav Namestnikov.
The Stars don't have their 4th-round pick in 2024 because they traded it to Detroit in 2022 for...Vladislav Namestnikov.

tired mistakes happen in your fifth period of hockey, but three guys behind your own net with McDavid in front of it is probably not ideal

Pavelski gets cross-checked in the back in the neutral zone, no call. Dive over Tanev's stick by the net, get the call. Okay then. Kill it.

By the way, DeBoer picked the perfect time to play with a full roster. Petrovic has been as advertised.

oh that is just savage. Waits for Skinner to put the blocker down, then jams it through the arm hole. That's a goal-scorer's goal.

Here's how Jamie Benn answered a question about a critical mistake he made when he was still in his twenties.
Weird that he didn't get snippy and sarcastically ask the interviewer if they had watched the play, I thought that was what veteran leadership looks like.

Congratulations to Denis Gurianov, the first Dallas Stars draft pick with a 20-goal season for the Stars since Jamie Benn, who first did it in 2009-10.

Even better, here's the referee who blew the play down. Clearly motions for two different penalties, then they end up only calling one. Ridiculous.

Dallas is probably not going to win any playoff series in which they never score a power play goal, let alone a Western Conference Final. Put up or shut up.

The Dallas Stars finished the regular season with 60 points.
The Montreal Canadiens finished with 59.

here's the best angle I've seen of the referee somehow missing the flagrant holding the stick call yesterday right before the Blues tied the game. in fairness, the referee is standing like, over a dozen inches away. how are you suppose to see that, riddle me this

Jake Oettinger surrendered just 14 goals in seven games. You can beat anyone when you don't let them score more than two goals per game.

Credit to the Stars for finally replacing Joel Hanley by stacking two Joel Hanleys on top of each other and calling it an 'Alex Petrovic'

This game is the perfect playoff preview because it showcases Oettinger playing well, all four lines attacking, aggressive defending, and three Nils Lundkvist shifts each period.

I'm not particularly passionate about this, but the last couple weeks have convinced me that Ryan Suter needs Nils Lundkvist more than the penalty kill needs Jani Hakanpää.

Perry: 0 goals in 23 games

Power play is 0 for its last 12

This is more what I expected the whole series. Dallas dominating at evens, but Edmonton getting generous calls and being lethal on the power play. Dallas has nothing to complain about if they can't do anything on their power play.

the Dallas stars are the best hockey team in the world regardless of whatever mountains of evidence you may have to the contrary

I really think the decision by the Situation Room came down to whether or not they wanted to end the series on this play. The paradigm in the NHL is to avoid controversy whenever they can, and they decided "uphold call on ice" was the less controversial option. Ah well.
Official explanation from Situation Room. I thought it would be a goal…my post-season record hasn’t been great on these

Jason Robertson carried the team to overtime, and Joe Pavelski finally broke the overtime curse. That's a nice way to spend a Thursday evening.

If there's one team that can play against an empty net for half a period and not score, it's the Dallas Stars.

How on earth is this not the same play that was ruled onside after a long review against Dallas last week?

It still impresses me how Tyler Seguin has remained a regular penalty-killer three coaches after Ken Hitchcock. Dude committed to changing, and he's kept it up. Really impressive career so far, in big and small ways.

If I know anything about the Dallas Stars, it is that a 3-1 series lead guarantees a nice, easy, stress-free road to the next round.
