I missed the game and can't get a straight answer other than "Stars fans angry, stars fans salty". What happened?

I love that the stars equipment manager brought out a stick for the coach at the end of the game to smack things with😂

Let's say each team in the NHL was forced to trade all their current assets, (players/picks). To another team but the management stayed the same, how would you rank each NHL organizations assets. I got it started. Each person quote me, delete my comments above and add to the list

#1 Colorado
#2 Carolina
#3 Florida
....
#31 Seattle
#32 Arizona

That’s probably coming from Blues fans, some of them are the worst in the league.

Here is what I found:

Schenn grabbed Heiskanen's stick #stlblues pic.twitter.com/HaJBzgsVOk

So basically in short: Heiskanen’s stick gets held down by Schenn which in result should’ve been a penalty, but wasn’t and out of rage Heiskanen slashes someone and gets a penalty, all of this resulted in 2 goals against which made us lose the game.

Refs in St Louis are probably the most bias refs in the entire universe (100% serious), they pretty much handed them the cup in 2019, and obviously are still doing the same bs. That’s why the Blues are probably my least favourite team, they can all go rot in hell for what I care.

Edit: also during the time where Schenn held his stick, Buch tripped him, which should’ve resulted in a 5-3 for the Stars, but instead was a 5-4 for the Blues, refs bought them the game and it’s really obvious.

Double edit: after Heiskanen’s slash on Kyrou, it resulted in the stick breaking and he still played the puck with it (which is illegal), so in the end there should’ve been 3 calls on the Blues, but none were made, and there should’ve been 1 call on the Stars and for sure it was made.

^ My List ^

Ducks shouldn't trade for him imo. Same reasons I didn't want them to trade for Eichel. They don't have the kind of depth of good prospects the Kings have and they also aren't good enough yet. They should be sellers not buyers.

Why are they likely losing Lindholm to UFA? Right now it seems just as likely that he stays.

Yikes, horrid missed call. I think there is a share of blame to Heiskanen, as he has to keep his composure, but I would definitely say the large share of the blame goes to officiating. Haven't seen much more of a blatant miss this year, outside of a puck hitting the netting above the glass in WSH vs PIT.

Maybe saving cap for Zegras and Drysdale? If they are going to lose Lindholm I would assume they trade him right?

Yeah, everything else would be kinda dumb. They should talk to him about his contract and then see what he wants. If cap and term are far higher than what the Ducks had in mind, trade him. If it's a solid cap and a good term, sign him to that contract right then and there. Don't let him hit free agency. The Ducks are in a pretty good cap situation (depending on what happens to the UFA's this summer), but they'll have to sign Drysdale, Zegras, Terry and Comtois all in the same summer (2023=.

I was thinking keeping sammy and trading vitek for holtby one for one for the playoffs

Have been out of twitter for today so I was living in blissful ignorance until I saw this clip.

Now I'm mad.

F*ck the Blues and f*ck those refs. F*cking incompetent clowns.

I'm not a fan. Vitek is younger and cheaper, and while Holtby started off well, he's cooled down recently and I don't have confidence in his long term success. a move like that would just be meaningless fanservice, instead of a decent upgrade.

He is the only goalie that could be a true number one on the caps if we trade for him. Inconsistencies from the goalies has lost us games. We need a true number and we need to win a cup now. Also fucale is god. F hagelin

People who’re crying about this have clearly have never played hockey 😂.

I play in a league where people literally try to remove your head from the rest of your body, and basically chirp at you every single second of the game. Those type of fans wouldn’t survive at all if the NHL played like us.

Things like those happen probably several times per game in our league.

#Caps defenseman Dmitry Orlov is unavailable due to the NHL's COVID-19 protocol

sh**

I don’t think he can be a true #1. He’s seemingly struggled in his last few games, and overall watching him play I don’t trust him to hold up. At least from the games I’ve seen, I don’t see him as any better in the long term than Samsonov. Samsonov has also had the misfortune of dealing with defenseman like Cholowski, Kempny, and large amounts of Matt Irwin (who’s bee surprisingly alright, but overworked imo). I would blame it less on samsonov being a bit inconsistent, and more on Injuries/Covid that has put him in some very tough spots. Holtby is not an upgrade to our current tandem, and a trade for him I see as nothing but a lateral move. I trust Sammy in the playoffs after his very good play vs Boston last year (minus that one brain fart behind the net)

I’m not sure if it was called, but it’s absolutely a penalty, which might be why Blues fans are upset.

Love that the slash is so nonchalant. He doesn't even bother looking towards Kostin there

Son of a…

Left side is now probably:
Marty-Party Fehervary
TVR
Irwin (though maybe Kempny if Laviolette hates us)

alright. We will see.

Yeah it wasn’t called (maybe should’ve been), but my point was that these types of things happen daily in the league that I play, and are almost never called. I don’t see anyone complaining, the only times someone complains is if the Refs call something against us when someone tried to remove the opposing players head.

Benn lives rent free in the head of pretty much every fan of the NHL.

I got a Martin fer jersey for Christmas and it hasn’t come yet or tickets to a home which haven’t come yet either. I love it when that guy bails out Carlson. Also the powerplay is a waste of everyone’s time and so is 3 on three,

With how slashing is called in the NHL, this is pretty egregious. Considering that slashing penalties are called with light taps near a player’s hands when they has the puck, and this is separated from the play and is a slash meant to injure right on the wrist.

If that slash is meant to injure I’m truly scared what a hit is considered like.

I could be wrong, but that slash was probably to get in their heads and make them lose composure, not to injure him (not enough force to injure him). That’s what I’m getting from since it’s Benn’s play style.
