Stopped him from getting over

[Pato del Muerto 52602]

This penalty shit has got to stop.

[ztejas 43538]

[Mileslong 4728]

Another stupid penalty all from vets

[shadow_operative2.0 16028]

There’s the third goal again. 

[cactusflinthead 27603]

This sucks 

[Pato del Muerto 52602]

Way to cover for your D jamie

[LonghornJudas 1102]

Seguin soooooo OOP.

[Beau Vine 54432]

"Janmark has world class speed" ????

What world?

[Beau Vine 54432]

Tic tac toe.

[ztejas 43538]

We look awful.

[Firemans4Horn 18123]

What a shitty effort tonight top to bottom. 

[C-Man 27262]

[vtaenz 602]

Benn is doing what he needs to do. Seguin's complete disappearing act is the biggest issue.
Rads takes dumb penalties but is a push because he usually puts up points to end up even.

[C-Man 27262]

Hot garbage tonight

[C-Man 27262]

Multiple opportunities for Vegas on OUR power play. We look like a bad, beer league team. We couldn’t even get set up in their zone. Wow

 

[Guest]

Can nobody possess the puck for Dallas?

are they TRYING to give Vegas a shortie?

[ztejas 43538]

That was the worst power play I've ever seen.

[Billy Pilgrim 1984]

Look like they went out and partied in Vegas before the game. Complete and total dog shit

[Pato del Muerto 52602]

Vancouver could barely score on lehner and we may not. 

[TexPx 2324]

That whole period was an abomination.

Fuck you Reaves...

[Skipper 6202]

Talk about getting your fucking ass kicked for a period.   That was pathetic.

We are getting dealt a dose of reality tonight.

[vtaenz 602]

Are we just resting Dobby and mailing this game in?

[Beau Vine 54432]

Looks like.

[vtaenz 602]

Someone crack Reaves in the mouth.

[Fudbelty 2789]

We were never going to sweep them anyway. Nothing wrong with a nice 4-1 series win.

[Pato del Muerto 52602]

Rads has a hole in his stick tonight to match the ones in his smile and head. 
someone needs to run reaves. I choose Perry. 

[Mileslong 4728]

Is Rads drunk on vodka? He can’t even handle the puck at all

[Beau Vine 54432]

If no one gets hurt, I'm OK with getting out with a 3-0 loss. Glad Jake O gets some experience.

[Firemans4Horn 18123]

Janmark on the ice when we need a goal gives me the lowest of T. 

[Beau Vine 54432]

Is Rads drunk on vodka? He can’t even handle the puck at all

Definitely.

[dcar00 14367]

was that the guys own stick that hit him in the face?

[vtaenz 602]

I would bench Rads for a game.

[dcar00 14367]

well one really crappy period.  gonna have to generate more Offense

[vtaenz 602]

There may be some disagreement here but Benn didn't look bad tonight. He looked strong just couldn't capitalize. Seguin was absolute trash and it feels like he's been that way all playoffs. I'd have to go look at box scores but it doesn't feel like he's contributed much other than a couple assists. Maybe a goal?

[Beau Vine 54432]

Whatever. I've felt lot worse after games. We're in a best of 5 to play for the Stanley Cup. Let's win G3.

Bogorad or Razor said Seguin has scored four goals in his last 23 playoff games. He hasn’t scored a point in five straight games now, maybe it’s six counting tonight.

Makes sense. I don't think he's hurt, he's just not able to find a scoring touch.

Going back to my other post, last time we benched Rads he came back with a hat trick.

[Jive Turkey 12644]

1 goal in 120 minutes.  Not gonna panic yet but we need at least a 3 spot in game 3.

Zero goals in 117 minutes. Lehner is at over 120 shutout minutes now, with shutouts in like 4 of his last 6 games. 
 

have to take care of the defensive zone first to win games in this series. 

[Sweetnsourpoke 171]

I think we're witnessing a legit Conn Smythe performance out of Lehner. 

Speaking of goaltending, it's been fun watching the youngsters in this year's tournament. Demko is an intriguing keeper moving forward. 

[Skipper 6202]

Seguin and Benn (to a lesser extent) are holding us back in this playoffs.  Most of our younger players and role players are playing at max level.  Our front line players need to play at least close to the level of their paycheck to win the cup. Benn had a good game 1 and wasn't awful last night like Seguin was.   It's beating a dead horse but I think we all have to hope Seguin is playing through something that is significantly limiting him because he's been a below average player on the ice the entire playoffs.  But overall both of those guys started regressing as soon as they signed their big contracts which is beyond frustrating.

[Longhorn_Fan68 33899]

Vegas is a good team and I will not be surprised to see this series go to 7. I mean, the competition should only get harder as you move forward, right?

There are problems on this team, but every team has them. We may decry Rad's boneheaded plays, but at least he wasn't suspended a game for an illegal check to the head. There is nuance here. 

Can our top guys do better? Absofuckinglutely. Can the lower guys capitalize a bit more on their chances? Also yes. Whether we make the subtle changes that it takes to win this series will be the difference in whether we move on or go home.

[Loch Ness Monster 3533]

I think its clear we will be the underdogs against Vegas and/or Tampa. Not impossible but definite underdogs.

We have no one on our top line that can take over a game. I like a lot of our role players though.

[MonkeyDoughnut 10357]

To get you in the mood for tonight's game:

 

[Longhorn_Fan68 33899]

Game 2 don't mean a shit now. Come out on fire tonight and take the series lead again. Go Stars!

[Gucci_Suit 2656]

We’ve had so many chances that we’ve not made good on. Gotta bury those tonight. 

Blues won the Cup last year by slamming picks to the net and then pouncing on rebounds. Don’t have to make 8 cute passes. Just jam it in there and be physical. Take a few penalties, get a few.

Go Stars.  

[Mileslong 4728]

Let’s effing do this! We have to score first I’m afraid in this series, I don’t see the same kind of comebacks they’ve had in the playoffs against this bunch
