I agree, it can be true that Heiskanen personally did not play a great game and that he had a positive impact on the team overall. I don't remember ever seeing a team completely lose composure the way the Stars did in Game 3 after he went down. There's almost no doubt in my mind that having him back in the lineup was a positive. Micah's numbers also seem to indicate that Heiskanen was doing fine through the first two periods too. It wasn't until the Stars started sitting back/Seattle started really pouring it on down 3/4 that he started getting drastically out-shot.

The official account replying to Micah made this whole thing a sideshow. Really embarrassing behavior.

I don’t blame Miro for having one bad game, considering all that he’s been through since suffering that nasty gash on his face: being unable to eat and unable to sleep and wearing the face shield. I don’t think this isolated performance would affect the importance that he has on the team.

Maybe the conversation would be different if the Stars had lost Game 4, but I hope all of this controversy doesn’t distract the team from what should be their true goal: getting two more wins before the Kraken does.
