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.
the outside controversy won't impact the Stars themselves. As much as we like to think we are important in the media and on twitter, players don't care what we say.
I didn't really agree with Micah either, but he didn't deserve all the crap he got from that. I'm a big fan of his model, was a subscriber for a long while, and it's interesting data to look at. He's also always working to improve his product. People need to chill out.

Not a hockey professional, and not wanting anyone believe otherwise, but action(s) speaks for it/themselves.
