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! 🥴
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?! 😂
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!

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

This is my favorite comment of the year so far.
