@seanshapiro @DMagazine I've seen a lot of people on this website talk about Jamie Benn as being a problem, but no one talks about Rantanen's embarrassing performance. Flopping, taking the most PIMs in the series. Sure, Benn wears the C, but Rantanen gets the minutes.

There are 31 NHL teams that Jamie Benn could help next season. The Stars happen to be the 32nd. On the Stars stubbornness and unwillingness to make the tough choice, and how the Stars now need Benn to save them from themselves. My latest for @DMagazine dmagazine.com/sports/2026/05…

@ShutdownLine The Oilers are a historically bad drafting team. Goes all they way back to the mid-90's.

Even the worst drafting teams in the league luck into a Ryan Donato or someone in the middle rounds.

NHL forwards drafted by the Oilers since McDavid: Kailer Yamamoto, Ryan McLeod, Dylan Holloway. That’s it.

@JFreshHockey I'm critical of the diving and all the penalties that he took. He had a good amount of points on the PP, but he usually leaves me wanting more. He's so good, but does some really stupid stuff out there. Has the ability to be like Draisaitl, but makes a fool of himself too often.

every year i'm like eh rantanen's numbers not looking so hot, probably overrated... and then he just goes and scores at a 100ish point pace and goes ppg+ in the playoffs anyway because f me i guess

hilarious that even in the series where everyone is talking about how disappointing he was, Mikko Rantanen cannot help himself but have 7 points in 6 games.

@RobertTiffin Can't blame him for being bored.

The referee in the neutral zone called cross-checking on Duchene here.

@DLLS_Stars @samnestler they appear to have chosen "die".

Do or die for the Stars. How did @samnestler do in his predictions? How did you do in yours. Let us know 👀

@RobertTiffin I say this as a Stars fan: He hurt himself diving. Rantanen is embarrassing.

Mikko Rantanen has just gone down the tunnel after this play.

@Jeff55Jeff @DallasStars It'd be cool if he started running through these brick walls during the playoffs. Aside from that one goal in OT a couple years ago, dude pulls a complete vanishing act every April.

What does veteran @DaLLasStars forward Matt Duchene think of his general manager? "I'd run through a brick wall for that guy." texasmonthly.com/culture/dallas…

@saltyshake67681 @seanshapiro Would you work for free??? Come on man.

@seanshapiro well you can still come on and talk for free? why is everything about money? do it from the heart?

My run at DLLS is over. I had a blast in the last 18 months helping build the DLLS Stars show and I'm going to miss it. Here's some transparency on why, sports media, and why I still love this field. shapshotshockey.com/p/on-the-end-o…

@ShutdownLine This is the kinda stat that would have started so many drunken arguments before the Internet was on our phones.

It is wild that his second 20+ goal season is going to happen three years after the monster 10-year contract.

@seanshapiro That and the diving. It doesn't explain the lack of calls for everyone else though.

Mason Marchment now getting the cosmic karma retribution from officials after they didn't toss him for hitting a ref with the stick earlier this series.

@domluszczyszyn Athletic couldn't afford to send ya, eh?

@JFreshHockey Pretty sure Nute Gunray asked not to be drafted this year, given his cancellation and alt-right ties.

Proud to present my sixth and final ranking and mock draft for the 2024 NHL Entry Draft. So much incredible talent - especially at the top - and it's been such a pleasure scouting this class of young players all season. #NHLDraft

@RobertTiffin I certainly hope you're right. They need to get some bigger players to go alongside all these small-ish young guys. They have the talent, now they just need a bit of size and sandpaper.

@CWMacGregor I'm not thinking they'll bring Duchene back. He worked for them short-term on a cheap deal, but his agent is going to push for him to get more than another one-year deal, and I don't think the Stars would want to do more than two years with him at this point. Just a guess.

Fun little fact: the Stars traded Dellandrea for a 2025 4th-round pick that San Jose got from Winnipeg in 2023 for Vladislav Namestnikov. The Stars don't have their 4th-round pick in 2024 because they traded it to Detroit in 2022 for...Vladislav Namestnikov. #maythefourth

@StephTolev if this is some sort of new character, I ain't diggin it.

@ctvottawa Slow news day, guys? Is this what Bell can afford when it comes to news now?

Time to turn off the TV. It's intermission time on @ESPN and Subban & Messier are about to deliver another round of the most embarrassing broadcast in the industry.

@wyshynski I'm wondering when people are going to figure out that the vote for "Yetis" is the equivalent to Boaty McBoatface for a lot of people.

You voted in THE DROP bracket and the new NHL Utah team name is ... The Utah Yetis! Search "NHL on ESPN" for the full podcast or watch it here on YouTube, including the latest news from Emily Kaplan: youtu.be/WRTSCTQ13OE?si…

@travisyost If they could just get rid of Subban, they'd have a pretty good overall broadcast. PK's been so cringey and dopey.

For as long as ESPN has the playoffs … if he’s not on the big games, huge problem. He is that great. And, uh, there’s some daylight,

@RobertTiffin Hintz looks hurt, right? I'm not crazy?

Jason Robertson and Logan Stankoven have been the best players for Dallas so far. Just a whole 'nother gear.
