No thread, and I'm on my phone so this is going to be a crappy opening post. There are games, watch them and talk about them here.

Sceviour literally just skated around the outside of the zone from the goal line extended to the opposite top corner before firing that in. That was comical.

Great first period for dallas, they dominated the possession game 5 on 5 for good stretches and are well deserving of the lead.

They need to keep off that PK though... and maybe figure out how to prevent even the easy chip in shots from Washington that Lehtonen is sure to bobble.

**on that point, I have no idea why Enroth isn't playing tonight

I'm honestly not sure what's going on for us either, our powerplay is usually somewhere between poop and a dumpster fire. :psyduck:

The Stars were 2nd in the entire league last year (2013-14) at PP shot rate. They were excellent at getting into the zone, moving the puck, and getting shots to the net. This year their big problem has been not being able to gain the attacking blue line on the power play. If they can get that sorted out (and it seems like they've made progress on it) they're no reason their PP wouldn't go back to being amazing. They have the offensive weapons to score.

This is true. I'm just used to the PP of months ago of "somehow gain the zone, pass a lot, give up the puck, repeat".

dude you're like 8 points up on Florida and Ottawa. Those teams might not collect 8 points from here to the end of the year. I think you're safe.

I'm not sure if that's more or less fundamentally Leafs than them drafting a goalie over McDavid in the current be-a-pro thing going on.

They've had a couple poo poo games, but they're still pretty securely in a playoff spot. I mean, they could pull a 2007 Mets, but I don't think so.
