Game 78 Afterwords: Yotes Totes Rope-a-Doped As Their Hopes Are Noped

Benn hit 40 goals, Faksa got rewarded again, and Ales Hemsky whiffed on a beautiful scoring chance. Business as usual tonight in the whites.

This game was slanted in the Stars' favor as soon as word came down that Oliver Ekman-Larsson would be sitting out due to illness. And while OEL is certainly as ill as it gets when he has the puck, this was more of a "gross" sort of ill. Specifically, Nicklas Grossmannn. OEL for the OG deuce is a good trade for the opposing team pretty much every time.
