I don't know if it's the new coach, new teammates, or just a new offensive system, but Benn looks better than he has in years.

Another good win!

Currently we are:

2nd in goals per game
9th in goals against
2nd power play
5th in penalty kill

We have a top 4 points scorer
We have a top 5 goaltender by GAA and Save %

We've got a good ****ing team this year boys.

Stars are playing really good hockey right now ….. BUT …..
they have got to stop taking so many penalties. Their penalty kill cannot keep having to bail them out . Law of averages says it will eventually be a problem. Some of the calls tonight were ridiculous, but they have to clean some things up . They have a chance over the next few weeks to really put themselves in good position for new year ….. with several home games.

The penalties are a significant issue that need to be solved, but as the year progresses and as games get more significant referees will eat more whistles that are being blown now. Then by the time the playoffs come around it'll be a street fight.

Good point …… but you have to get to the playoffs first .

It's not quite time for me to do my 1/4 season analysis, but man this team is exciting. It's truly remarkable the difference from last season, thus far.

I've now seen and heard a couple of analysts say that Dallas looks & feels like they're only 1-2 pieces away from being in the upper tier of Stanley Cup contenders.

I also saw some folks saying this team feels like the '15-'16 team without the red flags. Bruce and Owen brought up that team on the post-game show too.

Who would have thought?

The issue is that we have NO cap space for any moves that would push us over the edge. BUT, this team showed a ton last night without Hintz or Gurionov in the lineup. I'm wondering if healthy and a mid to late season call-up or two of our "young guns" would be enough. Fun to think about 18 games into the season.

How does the cap work in the NHL? I feel like the last few seasons I would hear how Tampa just said "screw the cap" and abused it. Is that true?
Tksymm7
How long do you want to ignore this user?
I don't have the time at the moment to do the full deep dive. But the NHL is a strict, hard cap. It's something like 92 million. The stars in particular are RIGHT up against the cap. I'm talking hundreds of thousands near it. That is one of the main reasons we can't call up Dobby, his cap hit is WAY too high. We'd have to do some serious juggling to acquire some talent at the deadline.

Tampa used Long Term Injured Reserve, which without going into crazy detail is a traditional reserve list except for the fact that those players are shelved for a set amount and it relieves their cap hit on the total amount.
FWAppraiser
How long do you want to ignore this user?
They had guys with big salaries on long term injured reserve (LTIR). Those salaries don't count against the cap. The drawback is that there is a defined, prolonged period that those players can't play, even if recovered/healthy. Once the playoffs start, there is no salary cap. This is because the trade deadline is passed (no way to add pieces) and they want to allow expanded rosters in case there is an injury in the playoffs. Tampa simply took those guys off of LTIR in the playoffs and would have been way over the cap, had there been one. They were accused of stashing guys for that specific purpose.

Nothing earth shattering here. But an interesting listen, if you have about 10 minutes:
