Losing sucks

[dcar00 14899]

Its hard to hate a team more than this Minn team.  Refs are falling for all their acting bullshit saying we are taking dives.  NHL gonna NHL.

[wood 11747]

2-2-1-1-1, or 2-2-2-1?

[C-Man 27684]

2-2-1-1-1, or 2-2-2-1?

Huh?

It’s 2-2-1-1-1. NBA used to do 2-3-2 for the NBA Finals only. I think that’s the only time I’ve ever seen a 7-game series that wasn’t 2-2-1-1-1.

Thanks. I could swear I've seen 2-2-2-1 before, because I remember I hated it, but I can't remember where.

I can't imagine it ever happening because you would be giving lower seeded team the 7th game at home or the lower seed getting the first 2 games at home.

Yeah that's why I hated it. Now that I think about it, I think where I saw it was in a Phil Jackson book.

Get used to it. This is not a Stanley Cup winning team. 

[Voldemort86 2259]

Robertson has gone AWOL.

the so called “win it for pavs” energy lasted only one night. His absence was really felt in this game. I just feel kind of fucked over. Other teams aren’t losing their star players, but we lost ours and the refs are too chickenshit to call penalties on the wild for playing thug hockey. If the wild are going to be extremely dirty and the refs won’t call anything, then how the fuck are we supposed to win?

In last year’s Stars playoff thread, I said Robo is a brilliant regular-season scorer but wondered if his game ultimately translates to the postseason when you’ve got to grind and score greasy goals.

Can he do that ultimately? I’m not ready to say he can’t but I think the jury is definitely still out. He’s played 10 career playoff games and has seven points (two goals, five assists). He has three points in three games in this series, which is hard to complain about — yet.

[C-Man 27684]

I don’t think I’ve ever seen that. There might’ve been some weird arrangement back in the early 1900’s for the World Series but I don’t believe it’s ever occurred in the NBA or NHL.

[Skipper 6406]

Granted as someone that refuses to give a dime to Bally's/Sinclair on principle, I didn't see the Stars regular season other than couple of games I attended and national games.  But that was definitely the worst I've seen this team play that I've been watching.   Flat out dominated start to finish.  Better bring it Sunday.

Damn. Jackie Redmond could definitely do me some good ...

 

[wood 11747]

Need to grease that crossbar. Jebus.

[C-Man 27684]

Somebody fill me on why Wild fans abhor Ryan Suter. Is it all because of his cross check of Kiprosov in Game 1 that wasn’t called? Because, correct me if I’m wrong, the Wild bought out his contract to set him free.

[Hagbard Celine 11157]

this feels like game 1

and that's not good

As far as I can tell, yeah. That's it.

[C-Man 27684]

That’s fucking stupid then

[Hagbard Celine 11157]

with the amount of shit they got away with friday night they can shove their suter feelings up their ass

its way better than Friday, at least we are in the game.  Pavelski being out really sucks. we don't really have anyone picking up his slack.  be nice if Robertson showed up a bit more.

our puckhandling is just poor and we can't seem to get around the edges when we have a break.

Robertson needs to make a mark tonight for sure

[Hagbard Celine 11157]

what i'm feeling is we are skating evenly but obviously not getting equal shots and it just feels like a game we are "equals" but going to lose painfully

[Hagbard Celine 11157]

i watched most of the boston florida game and the level of energy in that game wax 2x over this game, at least 1st period of this game

Yep. Pretty phenomenal that they're so wound up about that.

We can't get in front of the net. They're doing exactly what they need to do on defense to slow down our offense - taking away our netfront presence. There's zero doubt in my mind that Pavs was singled out as target before Game 1, for this very reason.

While also saying the dumba hit is just playoff hockey. 
 

the fans take after the players though. Wild are aggressive with their hitting but when they get hit they either bitch about it or fake being hurt by it to try and draw a call.

Yeah like Feligno taunting the Stars players, saying "Dive" over and over, then taking a dive himself a few seconds later (and actually getting called for it, which shocked me given the officiating so far).

Feligno's a piece of shit.

[Firemans4Horn 18498]

Our top line has got to get going. 

[wood 11747]

Otter: Freak

[Fudbelty 2801]

Otter definitely skated after Folgino after those saved.

[dcar00 14899]

extremely shitty PP.   a few WTF passes.  the Wild actually had the best chance.

they are kicking our ass again.

We need Pavs bad.  we dump or get erased almost every time.

[Firemans4Horn 18498]

That is such bad hockey in the middle of the ice that lead to the breakaway. 

[Fudbelty 2801]

[Firemans4Horn 18498]

We’d be down 4-0 this game against a better team. WAKE UP

[dcar00 14899]

we whiff on shots and passes constantly.  our guy disappears in the playoffs. we don't have very many really good chances and we lose the puck a lot.

that's a penalty now?  dive too.

[Zepol87 9308]

Otter is saving this teams ass

He was liked (well at least tolerated) because he was good, but he was widely regarded as a redass and  generally bad teammate- the kind of veteran that had zero investment in the kids and little interest in being a leader. Nothing horrible, just not the kind of guy that people want to rally behind.

It wasn't enough to dislike him when he was here, but I'm guessing that his perceived dirty play in this series has been enough to open the negative floodgates for the fans.

 

[Zeus 6753]

Now a penelty finally after a million dirty hits fuck these guys

[wood 11747]

Suck a dick, Feligno.

[Firemans4Horn 18498]

Let’s score. 
 

Kiviranta is the only star to score in Minnesota through almost 5 full periods. 

[Pato del Muerto 53327]

We are no threat in the o zone. Most shots are from distance and do t get through, puck spends most of the time along the wall. 

[Fudbelty 2801]

Seggs!!

[shadow_operative2.0 16176]

Segs, bitches! 

[dcar00 14899]

NIce.  good passing. and some puck luck.

[wood 11747]

Fuck yeah. Fuck you, Feligno.

[Zepol87 9308]

Hell yea

[Firemans4Horn 18498]

Powwww
