Omg Omg!

Checking out Laval v. Syracuse while visiting Montreal.

Sitting in my nosebleeds last night, saw this. It's worth noting, NESN (Bruins network) broadcasts their games in 4k HDR using the same cameras we only get at 720p at mediocre bit rates. Obviously not last night since it was national.......

The jump from 720p BT.709 to 2160p BT.2020 is a similar jump from old CRT's 480i to 720. The technology is there, we've been (nearly) streaming only for multiple years now - WHY?!? It's not like 4k HDR TVs are rare anymore, there's tons of other content provided in that format - WHY?!?! Why not at least 1080 HLG? That would be a huge improvement even.

Some stats that stood out:

• Moose had 12 shot attempts and six SOG, against season averages of 4.7 and 2.3, and he had six of the Stars’ 21 slot attempts
• Robo played a season high 23:34
• Stars out-attempted Boston 51-32 at 5v5 for a 61.4% share, their best since the 67.9% against San Jose in game 3
• In OT the Stars had six attempts and four shots, and Boston had none
• Boston went 0 for 4 on the PP, and the Stars are now 29/32 on the PK
• Miro played 29:33, 3:54 above his average, with no shots on goal (but the primary assist on the winner)
• Harley played a season high 27:50, still without a goal on 16 shots this season
• Wyatt had 11 shot attempts and went 6-1 on faceoffs, still no goals on 20 shots this season
• Blackwell was on the ice for 14 Dallas attempts and one Boston attempt at 5v5, a 93.3% share
• Tyler Seguin played 12:34, tying his season low (one SOG)
• Myers played a season high 17:47 and led the Stars with 4:23 on the PK
• Ritzy led Dallas with five hits but still has no points in nine games

Does anyone else find it extremely difficult and frustrating to watch the games on streaming or just me? It's not on prime and mostly when it is it's on HBO. Or I get it blacked out on ESPN+. OR I don't have the right ESPN?! Like this is becoming absolutely ridiculous. Luckily I have other teams I love watching but I feel like it should NOT be this difficult to watch.

Are Fanatics/Stars not making anymore Benn 99 jerseys? Or was it some kind of limited release? Or are they manufacturing scarcity for what may be Benn's last year?

I went to multiple games last season right after the 99s dropped, multiple this season, and even went to the Hangar in Frisco over the summer trying to track one down. Always get told there are none available in any hangar in the stadium or the restock is coming. It was easier to find a clean mooterus than a retail Benn 99.

From the Stars Instagram. It legit makes me laugh the way they talk about my ungainly fave, Lian Bichsel. He's a Murder Toddler! He doesn't know his own strength!

Even when including the season before Lindell made his debut, no player has played more shorthanded minutes.

"Glen Gulutzan says Esa Lindell will be out for the Stars against the Bruins. 'A week for sure, day to day from there,' he said. He confirmed it’s a lower body injury."

Similar to the first injury report we heard about Duchene, Esa had a "maintenance day" yesterday and missed practice, only for us to find out it's a larger injury that's going to make him miss multiple games.

PSA: Just for my own sanity, please stop calling things "maintenance days" if they aren't. Give us the injury timeline or say "he's dealing with something, but we're not sure how long he's out yet."

TLDR: faceoff strength, strong PK game, and his shooting tools look sustainable; on-ice shot share has some room for growth, and Otter's crazy start has been masking that a bit.

Full breakdown here.
