It’s late and I’m tired, so in no particular order, here are some reflections on this team so far, the loss to Winnipeg, and why we all exist at all. We may not have time to get to that last one.
- Mark Scheifele isn’t Matt Nieto, but giving up a hat trick still stings. Remember the Tyler Seguin Gordie Howe hat trick? I could use more fun moments like that.
- I think I said the Stars would want to get at least five points out of this road trip, and they got four. Frankly, they could easily have gotten just three or four, had overtime and some posts not been kind to them, or even less than that, had Ben Bishop and Kari Lehtonen not saved their bacon a couple times.
