Loving that kid. Did *anybody* think he'd be remotely this good at finishing when he came up last year?

(He's also wearing one of my all-time favorite jersey numbers.)

if we win tomorrow in regulation we tie up with the wild, only 5 back of St Louis as well. pretty wild

I know we're in "just win, baby" mode but it would really be in our best interests to start winning more games in regulation as I believe that's the first tie-breaker. This appears like it's going to be awfully fucking tight all the way to the end.

TNT @ 3. 

[crum 541]

suter is an automatic turnover right now haha

[shadow_operative2.0 16,270]

^ I almost posted the other night how I’ve liked Suter lately, seems like he’s getting a fair amount of assists. 

And that was quite the late goal. 

[crum 541]

yuhh and back on the PP thanks to the challenge. big chance to start period 2

[shadow_operative2.0 16,270]

Robo-boom, bitches. 

[crum 541]

THE KID

[shadow_operative2.0 16,270]

Tufte, bitches. Congrats, kid. 

[crum 541]

Tufte looked like an absolute player on that shift. interested to see what we have with him

[Hagbard Celine 11,254]

robertson on fire

[crum 541]

[shadow_operative2.0 16,270]

Enjoy the pine, goalie. 

[crum 541]

[shadow_operative2.0 16,270]

Alright, that’s all they get.

i would be shocked if we werent a bottom 5 open net team

[shadow_operative2.0 16,270]

Stop this bullshit now. 

[Fudbelty 2,810]

My bad. Just got home. Watched all of two seconds and 3-4. Immediately turned it off.

[shadow_operative2.0 16,270]

Drive. Home. Safely. 

[crum 541]

[Pato del Muerto 53,504]

14 didn’t miss

[shadow_operative2.0 16,270]

Robo-boom!!! 

[crum 541]

kid with b2b hatties yessirrr

[Fudbelty 2,810]

Seriously my bad on that goal. That’s like the fifth time this season that’s happened. Guess I better quit joining mid game before it costs us a game.

Robo is easily my favorite player right now. Saw him play in juniors before we drafted and i noticed him. Was stoked when we got him. Really stoked he's panning out. 1st Dallas Star with b2b hatties. How can you not root for that kid?

We're apparently bottom 2.  Only Ottawa has fewer empty-net goals than we do.

Was just coming to post this. Saw it in Saad's Athletic story.

The Wild did get two quick goals from Kaprizov to close the gap to 4-3. The second goal came because Robertson broke his stick and it essentially gave the Wild a 6-on-4. The Stars still had numerous opportunities at the open net but they continued to go wide. Dallas’ struggles against an empty net weren’t a fluke, though. Coming into the game, they had the second-worst Goals For percentage in the NHL against an empty net, only better than the Ottawa Senators.

I think a lot of people forget Robo missed the first 8 games. If you go by goals per game, he's tied with Ovechkin at #4 in the league with .62gpg. Nutty.

Yep.  His scoring is non existent the last few games. 

This didnt age well at all. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16,270]

Let’s roll. 

 

[cactusflinthead 27,627]

Is this going to be a low scoring grind? 

 

[markstanco 12,788]

Does a bear shit in the woods?

Give me 1 point in this game and I will call it a kick ass road trip.

Also, do any of you old timers hate the term chip and chase? It’s dump and chase. Maybe I’m retarded but I’m standing my ground.

[cactusflinthead 27,627]

Klinger gets one. 

[cactusflinthead 27,627]

Withstand the onslaught men. Hang tough

[cactusflinthead 27,627]

Well now. Nasty James

[shadow_operative2.0 16,270]

And fuck. 

[cactusflinthead 27,627]

Dammit

[cactusflinthead 27,627]

Getting testy

[crum 541]

that hit was insane 

[cactusflinthead 27,627]

Fuck. Goddammit

[shadow_operative2.0 16,270]

Fucking shoot me. 

[Pato del Muerto 53,504]

How did that get through?

[crum 541]

whole 3rd has looked like a PK

[shadow_operative2.0 16,270]

Razor put the hex on Otter, was talking about his perfect positioning all game. Losing 3 minutes later. 

[Pato del Muerto 53,504]

Fuck

[shadow_operative2.0 16,270]

Son of a bitch!
