https://fivethirtyeight.com/feature...impression=truequote:So, what’s been the source of the Stars’ success, if not their formerly great goaltending? For starters, they’ve made vast improvements in their special teams play while in the bubble. During the regular season, Dallas converted just 21.1 percent of its power play opportunities (13th in the league) and had a penalty kill percentage of 79.7 (17th in the league). Those numbers have jumped quite a bit during the playoffs: The Stars have converted 27.3 percent of their power play opportunities (fifth in the league) and have a penalty kill percentage of 83.3 (ninth in the league) in the bubble. Stats nerds miss the point, more at eleven. They say the goaltending hasn't been as good as it was in the regular season. This is true! They then say that clearly the reason for the Stars success is not goaltending. The stats lead this poor dingus astray--aside from the Avalanche series Khudobin has been THE reason the Stars have made it this far. I get what he is trying to say, I do--but to dismiss the goaltending as "formerly" great really shows your rear end.

I’d be happy if stammer came in and played PP only just ripping zingers from the top of the circle and logging 4:00 of ice time a game.

Until two weeks ago that was basically Guryanov's deployment, so maybe Coop can dip into those old Bowness lessons.

They won before the lockout, so either bolts in five or Virii in five for their first cup in 101 years. E: messed up my work stoppages InsensitiveSeaBass fucked around with this message at 20:57 on Sep 18, 2020 |

It'd be cool if Stamkos got in. I'm, uh, not sure I've ever actually seen him play hockey.

I don’t really like either team but I’m still mad about 1999 so I’ll be rooting against Dallas, much like how I will be voting against Trump in November.

It would be easier if the Lightning won because then in 5 years you all won’t have to say “boy I hope Team X wins so Hedman/Palat/Point/whoever can finally get a cup.” Let’s just get them all a cup right now.

Wow Dallas is in a cup final. I sort of remember the last time that happened. Mike Modano, Derian Hatcher, Nieuwendijk and Eddie the Eagle. Fun team and a great period of hockey with Jagr still with the Penguins and Theo Fleury tearing it up. I am slightly rooting for Tampa who I feel is one of the best organisations in the NHL and for Stamkos to play. But I wish both teams success and have no ill wishes towards either. Hedman or Chudobin for MVP?

Goaltenders never get the Smythe so unless he wins with 2+ shutouts in the series it'll be Heiskanen.

Dallas in 7. I have no statistical or other reason to make this pick, just a feeling

Ovi got the Conn Smyth for his career more than his performance in the playoffs back in 2018. Kuzy was arguably better.

I mean marginally maybe but Ovie still had 15 goals and was over a ppg. That was hardly some "let's just give it to the guy people know" like Crosby when he had 19pts in 2016.

Crosby was the correct choice in 2016. And in any event it's hard to care if they went with the #2 choice if the #1 choice is not some obvious landslide winner.
