You think I'm joking, but Pierre McGuire was saying on Ottawa radio that they really miss him and that losing Stephenson has been a major reason for Stone's ineffectiveness - AdamFrench
Any injury hurts. Tavares and Scheifele, Stephenson is not. That said, at the time, I pointed out the humour in his injury when you consider the Habs path thus far. But everybody has injuries, it's playoff hockey.
Please. You guys are only competing because just like the last two rounds you took out their elite super star centre in Game 1...Chandler Stephenson. - AdamFrench
I'll be honest, I'd never even heard his name before the series started. Elite center who's never cracked 40 points in a season. Schiefele took his self out.

He’s kind of their Desharnais, gets the best out of Pacioretty and Stone. So yeah he’s a big loss for them, but that’s the playoffs, you gotta roll with it

I'm kind of perplexed that they won't play Karlsson between them, though I guess they want to balance the lines. Anyway Habs are injured too with all of our dmen s hands being beat up and unable to shoot with any accuracy and Evans being out, so I can't say I understand the crying of Vegas fans or whoever is complaining.

Karlsson insulates the defensive "meh's" of Marchessault and Smith. Don't need him there with Stone on a line.
