Colorado and Vegas clearly playing better than us. Benn is a shell of his former self, Seguin is battling something, Bishop is ailing and we are forced to play Sekera. A series win over Calgary could very well be our ceiling this summer.

 

Fucking Polak. If he had come back we'd have three solid D pairs. The Fedun/Sekera pairing just isn't sustainable. I noticed they didn't even play Fedun much. Seems like it's time to get some of the younger guys in to see what they can do. Hopefully Johns can return. We need him.

[Beau Vine 54254]

Fedun played 6:42.  Sekera played 10:48, including an inexplicable 2:34 on penalty kill and 0:16 on power play.

Would rather see Bayreuther or Hanley than either one of those guys.

I started watching this on NBCSN and haven't switched to FSSW because we're playing well, but gotdam, Pierre is a beating.

psst, the games are also on fssw and you get Josh and Razor.

 

Back at it today at 4:30p. Need another strong showing.

This is the first time I've seen pregame with the Stars as the "home" team.  Love that they got the "Stars" crowd chant in during the national anthem.  Pretty cool.  But it also makes me sad I'm not at the AAC for a playoff game 5.  As I absolutely would be.

[Beau Vine 54254]

Go ugly early!

[Longhorn_Fan68 33874]

wooooooo! about time Jamie did some shit

[shadow_operative2.0 16005]

Mother fucker. 

[MonkeyDoughnut 10301]

I'll take that first. Clean up a few items otherwise looked pretty good.

agreed. we've dominated for ~7.75 periods. No reason to get away from our game now.

[Bill Brasky 1449]

[Zepol87 9188]

Great start

[Ghost of LL 15539]

Probably the best help the Stars have is for them to do just that

[Zepol87 9188]

god damnit

[shadow_operative2.0 16005]

Fuck yeah!!!! 

Easy game, never a doubt. 

[cactusflinthead 27601]

That'll do

We may not have a choice. And i don't mind that

[Ghost of LL 15539]

I'm not saying that we're going to win this series on Thursday.  

But I'm not not saying that, either.

[Mileslong 4728]

Ok I can unclench my fists now, Jesus

[Skipper 6136]

That was a fun one!

Tell us your thoughts on the left wing lock.

ha.  .31% is our shot to goal conversion percentage for the series I think

[Beau Vine 54254]

I assume we have to wait to see if there's a BOS-CAR game tomorrow to get our start time set?

[Beau Vine 54254]

9:30 tomorrow? FUCK YOU, NHL!

[Pato del Muerto 52524]

830 mountain 😁

Seriously.  This is getting fucking ridiculous.

[cactusflinthead 27601]

It's like a west coast game. Fuck it. I'll muddle along Friday on half sleep if necessary. At least it isn't at noon. I'd be taking a half day for that. 

[vtaenz 601]

Regardless of the outcome, Colorado looks like an absolute fucking buzzsaw to go against. They seem as good as the Colorado from the late 90s early 00s with half the name recognition.

They just went in dry on PHX the last two games and wiped their dicks on the drapes when they were done.
They have two great young defenseman, a legit superstar and a hot goalie. Thats how you win playoff series.

[Skipper 6136]

I get that the NHL prefers evening games to help with ratings, but during the playoff run last year did our games ever start this late?  I remember going to a couple of late games at the AAC (and hurting the next day) but I feel like they always started by 8:45 or 9.  Oh well, I'll probably try to stay up for this one as long as it's competitive but I'm already dragging today after being too hyped up to get to sleep after the Mavs last night.

I know we handled them pretty well during the regular season but I thought they've looked like the team to beat in the West since we restarted things, loss to Vegas notwithstanding. MacKinnon is an animal and Kadri's scoring goals with ease.

9:30 game can eat my ass. Ice is gonna be shit so maybe that helps us? Who the fuck knows. Go Stars!

I think when we played them part of their top line was injured.

I went and checked at Hockey Reference. Rantanen missed the first meeting. Landeskog and Rantanen missed the second. Looks like the Avs were full strength for the third and fourth meetings. We won the third game in a shootout and the fourth in OT.

Sadly, not at this point. I like the Stars to beat Calgary but I don't see us going any further than that -- especially if we get the Avs in Round 2. I have nightmares still from the railroadings I watched personally between these teams in the early 00's.

well you can just shut your fat whore mouth.

I still love you, though

[Wanker Bob 379]

Klingberg has had two straight good games so hopefully that becomes three and the best players Miro and Seguin need to lead the way. I have zero doubt Miro will but Seguin needs to check that direct deposit and remember he's paid big to be a playoff scorer.

Janmark out. 

[NorthLoop 14215]

930 never means 930. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16005]

Fuck, there’s our typical start. 

[vtaenz 601]

We look flatter than Keira Knightley

[C-Man 27230]

Fuck, there’s our typical start. 

One team playing like it’s do-or-die. Not Dallas. Could see that coming a mile away.
