Razor added a new "Razorism" to my list of favorites when he described Tim Stultzel as "a subcutaneous player who gets under everyone's skin." Great win, Stars! Great commentary, Razor!
God watching how hard Stutzle bites on the Robertson head-fake is a thing of beauty. Robo looks off the Stars player (never actually in frame) who is joining the rush, and Stutzle takes a step and then completely peels off him to cover someone with about 0% chance of ever getting the puck. It's great.
My impression of the Zetterland play is it is a slew-foot. I think I see Zetterland’s skate kick forward while engaging Bicshel… there is no good reason, skating-wise, for that motion. Moving skates forward like that is the first mistake of beginning skaters, you don’t go anywhere. Skating is a side to side motion, stopping the same. A kick to the back of another skater IS a slew-foot. It’s not a motion a skater makes by accident either… imo.
Benn might have to wait for the plaque to have his name on it instead of Tyler's before he throws it in the closet 😂
I am assuming that was just a placeholder plaque for Nill to hold for five seconds and a photo, but yes, that was pretty funny!
Is there any update on Harley/should the lack of updates be worrying?
Gulutzan said Friday that Harley was a little further away than Lyubushkin. I’ve seen Harley walking around, but until he’s seen practicing on the ice, he’s week to week. https://www.nhl.com/stars/video/uta-dal-pregame-glen-gulutzan-6385702878112
I’m not too worried, to be honest. They’re just going to take their time.
What’s the issue with him? High ankle sprain would be my first guess based on “week to week.”

That’s a good one. And I think Stützle probably ended up more annoyed than anyone else after his night tonight.

Robertson absolutely exploits every advantage there and finishes with a perfect shot. Has to be very satisfying.

I have a hard time seeing intent there, if I’m honest. But I can understand that perspective.
