Folks, there's no way that Kevyn Adams made this trade without running it by Staal first. If they hadn't been teammates, I could see that theory. But they were.
I can agree with that. Nothing wrong with running someone if all you're going to get is two minutes (or nothing). Sometimes, it can change the course of a team.
Don't excuse Dallas for its part in the boredom. And I think the refs sent a signal in the second period about touching the goalie when they penalized Perry. MAybe not, but just IMO.
Still, a boring series, for the most part. Hopefully it is over very soon.
Halfway through the game, Dallas has 7 shots on goal. That includes two powerplays. While, yes, as above, at least they made it to the finals and 29 other teams didn't, this is not a formula for winning hockey.
Dallas does realize that almost always, you need to shoot to score a goal, right?
I noticed that on the Tampa goal (the first one, as this thread will continue). It looked like Flyers version of Derian Hatcher back there.

This part reads like a prediction to me: "we should probably expect Allen to begin looking a little less like Mahomes and Wilson and a bit more like the player we’ve seen take the field the past two years."
That call on Kroft may have been the worst I ever have seen. Sure, there was the non-call in the Saints-Rams game, but that was a non-call. Pass interference? And on top of that, an interception? It was just the worst ever.
If you didn't see the refs trying to screw the Bills on that nice Kroft catch, that's on you. Vegas played a role.
Hi, @SwampD you are correct, and hi @nfreeman you are not.
