I haven’t yet forgotten about the Nurse-Ceci pairing last postseason and the defensive gaffes that arrived like clockwork when they were deployed together. This is probably a good time for the Stars to identify their own Nurse-Ceci pairing(s)… uh-oh, my bright side spin isn’t making me feel better! 🥴

Enjoy the break from travel (maybe?), Robert!

Yeah, it's hard not to think of that pairing when there's a hiccup. Such a delicate balance between trusting a veteran and wanting to jump-start the long-term plan. This break couldn't have come at a better time, I think.

Following Matt Duchene’s strong finish to the first two-thirds of the season, he has some interesting stats going right now: 55 games played, 22 goals, 33 assists, 55 points. Oh, and he’s now played 1,111 NHL regular season games. Any chance his wife is expecting twins soon?! 😂

This is my favorite comment of the year so far.

Hintz also didn't play the late minutes of third period. I think it was about the last 7 minutes of the game for him and MG both. So yeah, seems like they were getting some rest before the tournament. I mean, they'll have lots to do with our team 🇫🇮... So maybe those minutes on the bench really counts?! By the way, not too deep on it, we are thinking all those (sometimes oh so tiny) details too! 😂

I think you're probably right. Makes sense to avoid any injury risk in garbage time, etc. I'll keep trying to focus on the details if y'all keep reading! Cheers!
