  1. Nill probably still needs to go. Lacks should have been fired from Cedar Park a long time ago. Development of players has been trash more so than some terrible picks. Good players leave Texas after their ELC is up because they know they will not develop in Cedar Park. Development has killed this team more than drafting has.
  2. Nill didn't set that 2nd power play unit. L'Esperance was an undrafted guy that was tearing it up in the AHL. He's fine for a callup. Nuke is trash we know that. As far as draft picks fuck it we may as well trade them based on what we've drafted with them. This is on the coaching and players. Hopefully the road games will help them get their shit together. They have been fucking terrible at home after starting the season amazing at it.
  3. Dude... the coaching staff and players need to figure that out. Nill is responsible for both of those rosters but holy fuck if these guys are going to coach/play in the NHL they need to figure it the fuck out. That's like blaming Patterson during the Strong era. We knew Patterson was shit and had to go, but we also knew who was putting together a sub par game plan and offense every week. We should decline all power plays because we are absolutely fucking trash on them. Trash.
  4. Was at the game last night. Looked like a good team in spurts. Also looked like a team playing in a back to back. Stars need to find a way to finish on some of those scoring chances.
  5. Oh you noticed that too. I think we're the lowest in the league for power play chances.
  6. Nice fucking game to make it to. Fuck off Avs, go take your 9 overtime losses and get bent. Nice showing by Rads and great showing by Bishop. Wish we could see this every night from this team. Especially how physical they were, haven't seen that in some time.
  7. yup we looked pretty terrible. Benn looked fairly fresh but this team largely seemed uninterested in the game. Huge game on Thursday vs the Avs then the weekend against Chicago. Need those points.
  8. St. Louis rink this shitty they need repairs this early in the game?
  9. I'm just glad we didn't break their losing streak.
  10. This is some beer league level passing tonight.
  11. For the first time in his NHL career, Cogliano will miss a game due to injury.
  12. Does it seem like Nuke plays too high and doesn't bend his legs? I noticed it in the 3rd when he just seemed to get thrown down with one arm. You'd think we have a skating coach that could correct this. Maybe I'm completely wrong.
  13. I'll keep saying it but Hanzal was a damn Hitch request all the way. Hitchcock love giant slow lumbering players. At the beginning of last season Dallas was the tallest and heaviest team in the league on average. Methot keeps getting injured although I don't recall him being constantly injured in Ottawa. I think Dallas has done a terrible job of developing draft picks. I know Lacksdal is pretty unpopular with Texas Stars fans. A lot of players once they finish their ELC have constantly looked to move to other teams as quick as they can. I'm not sure if there is truth to any of this or not, but it sure seems like it. Because we seem to be unable to develop or draft players, we are constantly having to trade away assets for already developed players and we typically have to overpay. A good example is looking back at who Dallas drafted and where they are now several years ago. Benn, Neal, Eriksson, Smith; when you draft and develop guys they end up being your 1 and 2 liners. We've taken a nose dive in this department recently. An interesting book everyone may want to read is Stat Shot. It goes over all the stats that people use to look at teams and players and really provided some new insight for me when looking at stats and watching games.
  14. There's no helping Nuke. Any promise of improvement he showed at the end of November disappeared.
  15. I mean if we're going to basic about it sure. Fedun is our AHL tweener. No sense in mentioning him in this conversation. Oleksiak is Methot's replacement. Lovejoy was depth since we were sending away Carrick. Carrick started off alright but never got back to form for the Stars after his injury. Polak was a physical defenseman that the team needed since no one else back there is really built for that (the league is more and more moving away from that style as it is but you still need a few of those guys on your team). Not having Johns and Methot the majority of this season has really hurt the team. I have to imagine at least one of Polak and Carrick were to replace Johns.
  16. We're better off calling up L'Esperance than playing Nuke any more this season. He has absolutely nothing and without consistent playing time he has regressed since December. Just an all around bust that guy.
  17. Let's not forget two no calls in our own zone from high sticking.
  18. we're not bad we're cursed
  19. We are fucking ourselves.
  20. That sounds like a gauntlet throw down if I've ever heard one.
  21. Well... The Preds got better today. Not sure how the fuck they traded what they did to get the expected return they did. Looks like Stars sat pat which is fine, anything we wanted would have cost more than what we would have been willing to give up.
  22. So a guy gives up his body to block his shot, the puck finds the space between elbow pad and glove and he gets hurt... and the GM is at fault? I feel like you're just trolling at this point.
