NJDevs4978 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Yeah the ship has sailed on the shootout being a part of hockey but Stafford should not have gotten a first star last night. If you're gonna give it to anyone off a SO goal give it to Palm who's the more important player. But the skills competition shouldn't factor that heavily into the three stars.

The fact that it’s settled and it’s part of the game doesn’t mean it’s not stupid, and obviously, it doesn’t mean it couldn’t be changed again.

I agree, BUT, who stood out in that game? I didn’t stay tuned for the three stars, but Coleman could have one, after that...Nico because it’s his b-day and Stafford for a beautiful winner in the shootout.

Nicomo Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 I have mixed feelings on the SO. I think it’s fun to watch, but I hate that it decides games. Wonder how Blackwood would have done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BNG plays Sat night, can fly him out Sunday and figure it out. Hell why not give Mike McKenna yet another team this week, I think he’s been technically on 3 (Sens, Nucks, Flyers) Come in philly!

Binghamton signed Anthony Brodeur Anyone wanna wager KK gives up a goal in the first 5 minutes and probably 2 more by the end of the first tomorrow?

Stafford cannot accomplish anything during a game, but is the best shootout player on earth. Why do we decide hockey games with a skills competition rather than, I don’t know, playing hockey? It sucks but what can you do. If you're a fringe NHL guy being money in the shootouts makes you useful. Helps you stay in the league.

Of course, the other part of that is having to watch him fail to hockey for the other 65 minutes...good for him, sucks for the rest of us lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
