More than 1 doesn't mean 2, you know. Could be 1.5 or something. It's not such a big ask against a team that on paper is weaker than the Oilers and is used to relying heavily on their star goalie who is not available right now. And is matching Tyler Freaking Myers against them. I don't give a damn if it's not normal for your average line to score that many goals, your average line doesn't have the best player in the league and a Hart winner playing together and having magical chemistry to boot. I suspect they will break the dam soon and you will see exactly how possible it is to score that many goals (assuming they stay on the same line). Especially with Soucy suspended.It is a massive ask for 2 ES goals a game out of a line. Teams often don't even get 2 goals in a game these playoffs. I don't care if they're superstars. It's just the way numbers work. That's too much.
You want 14 ES goals from them in a 7 game series? Like, what?
The Rags are such frauds. For a while it looked like freaking Trouba was going to score a series winning goal and then finally Shesterkin showed a bit of weakness and of course the Rags folded like a cheap suit.
Put up more of an effort than COL, though, talk about not showing up for a crucial game in your own barn. And the Stars' drafting has been beyond incredible and is now paying dividends.
