2023 Stanley Cup Playoffs

Benn suspended for two games, which would include the 2023-24 season opener if the Stars get swept, which is looking pretty damned likely. Leadership!

 

Repeating our headline from a series clincher 27 years ago: "BUY MORE RATS!"

 

KARMAnos, bitches.

(Sorry @Sam Mills 51)

 

Also, one of the teams in the Finals doesn't have a beat writer from The Athletic LOL #CrossThread

 

Tkachuk became a star in Calgary but he left to shop his wares to the league. He was ready to become a champion but the Flames were not.

 

Jamie Benn will be traded in the offseason. Put it in the book. He's past his sell-by date.

His FIRST FUCKING SHIFT of the night.

I was in the house when John Lackey threw at Ian Kinsler's head with his first two pitches of the game. Don't know which was more cowardly.

 

Who is trading for that contract?

 

It will be a salary retention deal with multiple teams and Dallas sweetening the pot with picks, or if the salary retention deals get kiboshed by the league, it will be Benn and a young talented player going out the door.
I don’t know the Stars pipeline but considering how they seamlessly integrate new talent into the roster and considering Jim Nill, up for GM of the year, is running the show he will make something happen. There’s probably a plan already in place for trading him or Seguin. It’s what top managers of assets do.
It’s not that Benn can’t play hockey anymore, he actually could be a bounce back case, I just don’t think he stays in Dallas.

 

Be careful about making predictions. You’ll get a bunch of shit, even if you’re correct.
