This was their best game so far, in a sense. Third game in four nights, a roster depleted by injuries to key players, a very good Capitals team — but they muddled through and held that one goal lead for almost 40 minutes. You won’t hang it in the Louvre, but all the wins count the same in the standings. And they were very solid in their own end, as you pointed out.
Other than that very weak penalty call on him, I thought Sam Steel had a really good game last night. It seemed like he always had the puck when he was on the ice. I knew with a 1-0 score he wouldn’t be one of the 3 stars of the game, but he would have been my 4th.

The deal w Harley shows his commitment to the Stars, it’ll be a deal in 4 years after the cap has gone up, and his play continues to improve!
I guess now we’ll see if Robo can settle for less than top dollar, or if he plays “Kiprozov”, and holds Stars hostage or gets traded.
Robertson isn’t going anywhere. I bet he gets $13M AAV. It’ll be an 8-year deal, since until July 1, teams can still do those.
