Dickinson might not be perfect, but I get the sense that the continued experience will only further grow his game. No more scratches, please.

Some in-the-wild thoughts to the Dallas Stars bringing in David Perron.

Per Elliotte Friedman. David Perron to Dallas. Jim Nill certainly has a type. Certainly won't help Dallas with their transition play, but at least he's maintained some modest finishing ability at his advanced age.
A deep dive into the shallow pool of seven games. A look at the Dallas Stars, and how they're doing in nine key categories. Why there's room for more optimism than concern, but why that concern is still meaningful.

Postgame recap of another wild one between Dallas and Colorado. This time with less pugilism, but just as much drama.

Why I no longer like watching the games: the number of Penguins who played great but lost the game tonight. One example:
Sidney Crosby. 80% Eye Test Per 60. 71% xGritensity.
Gotta love NHL scheduling. This San Jose vs. Boston game, which was not delayed on account of rain or something, *may* end before 1am.
Postgame recap: Roope Hintz vs. Nathan MacKinnon. Dallas' power play. Tumbling down the Central standings. Arttu Hyry looking spiffy. And more!
