I don't get it. we should be owning ot. are we trying to be too cute? I don't understand the deep dropoff. if we were even 50/50 in it we'd have a 1-2 games in hand lead over WPG going into the All Star break. As it stands now that could be the situation WPG is in if these last few games go their way. dammit

Ban 3v3 hockey. It doesn’t come close to representing normal hockey. It’s going to cost us a 1 seed in the west.

Even though we suck at it, I like it. It’s fast, you can’t go to the bathroom or look down at your phone, etc. You must watch.

And the jets are like 7-1 in overtime so if they were closer to .500 the delta would be a game or two greater.

Well that was one shitty ass home stand.

home stand is only halfway done and we have 5/8 possible points so far. 2/3 of those OT losses were against teams in the top 5 right now. I think we're fine

hope it all goes to ESPN. honestly really like how they have handled their first year covering NHL

in other news, the Jets thoroughly shit the bed down the stretch, so those three "loser" points came in pretty damn handy after all

also, Carolina just kicked the crap out of Boston 4-1, so I don't feel too bad losing to them in OT.

Was going to put this in the general NHL thread, but might as well here.

See Marchand trending

Espn had them when they bought fox. FTC made them divest for monopolistic reasons, right?

great investment by ballys.

So I just read through The Athletic's discussion of the Top 25 trade deadline prospects and didn't see nary a mention of the Stars being active for any of them. I only partially skimmed past 15 or 20, though. Who/what are we chasing? I wish we'd upgrade backup goalie. Wedgewood is not very good but it will be Oettinger every night in the playoffs. Seems we could use another blue-liner and another scoring threat up top.

Wedge has like a .910 save %. How good do you guys think backup goalies are?

they can’t all be Darcy wakaluk. 

right? Wedgie is slightly high compared to league average in GAA at 2.97, but he's above average in SV% at .911 (see below). sure, there are teams that are killing it with their goalies this season. but there are plenty of teams completely floundering. I know, I play fantasy hockey and drafted Flower and Markstrom from CGY. They have both been abysmal this season (by top goalie standards and their own recent performances). There also aren't a shitload of choices out there right now. That's why some teams are rolling with bad goalies. They have little choice. I don't think we need to make a move there nor is there really a move to make.

If we do anything I think it's on the back end. I see Suter and Guri as potential trade pieces with Glendening or even Kivi possibly being thrown in with someone. I doubt Nill wants to move any prospects right now. But I wouldn't be surprised if we stood pat too. Nill is shown to make his moves in the offseason and generally roll with that choice. At least of late. We'll see.

If you’re Stars general manager Jim Nill, and by extension, team owner Tom Gaglardi, you can’t really do anything now. You signed the deal—yes, Gaglardi plays an active role in these decisions—and you have to live with it. The full no-movement clause makes the situation even more prickly, although who would really trade for Suter now, anyway?

That's just depressing. I have sports queasy now.

A team trying the hit the cap floor. haven't checked who that might be, but that's why ANA signed Klinger to such a rich deal.
