It was said by GM Calvin Booth last October, that they were rolling with the young guns off the bench to develop, and " if it cost us a chance to win a championship this year, so be it." It was in regards to trying to win 3 or 4 rings vs back to back, fwiw.
I know this is my own fault for going there, but some moron on X was tweeting about "well something something Joker is now 1-3 in the playoffs against seeds better than his team..something something"
I liked the Bill Simmons line of thinking that if you win a championship, you're immune from any criticism for five years as a reward for reaching the top of the mountain.
And basically nobody thought much of the rangers before last year. The Stars weren’t thought of as much of a contender early this year , and most thought Kyrie in Dallas was going to be a disaster . The only team people really thought would do anything was ironically the one team that did nothing
That 27’ three he barely hit the front iron wasn’t a great idea
Just checked. It was with 9:44 left in 4Q
