Stars official FB page said Miro is back. 

first time he and otter started the same game since Dec 15.

[shadow_operative2.0 16181]

Duchene, bitches. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16181]

Smith, bitches. 

[Longhorn_Fan68 34079]

That was wild. It was clear the puck was across, but i didn't think they would see it that way. Glad to be wrong!

[shadow_operative2.0 16181]

Miro, bitches. 

[markstanco 12773]

Miro, bitches. 

I’m behind but I love seeing this

[markstanco 12773]

That’s a weird and amazing stat being we are only 2 points back.

[shadow_operative2.0 16181]

Harley 2 pts, bitches. 

[cactusflinthead 27626]

Hell yeah 

[Longhorn_Fan68 34079]

That was fun! Glad i picked up Harley in the first quarter of my season in fantasy. He's killing it! 

[markstanco 12773]

Older hockey fans, question.

Does Robertson remind you of teemu selene (sp?) ducks player a while back. No idea why I think of him except soft sniper type of player.

[shadow_operative2.0 16181]

Dude was the shit on NHL '94. 

[markstanco 12773]

Dude was the shit on NHL '94. 

Did you play 92? Eddie Belfor, roenick, Steve smith, gouilet, Larmer. You couldn’t be the blackhawks on sega because they were too good in our crew.

[shadow_operative2.0 16181]

Maybe that's the one I was thinking of, we also had a no-Chi rule. 

[markstanco 12773]

Also, I played golf at butler national in Chicago with Steve smith about 15 years ago. Awesome guy and a huge mother fucker.

good throwback comparison for sure. I'm not sure who Robo reminds me of. he's kind of a hybrid of a lot of players. He's large(r than people give him credit for), fast, dexterous, and smart. Still stoked he's ours.

1 o'clock matinee game today.

I wonder if this is the last time to see Ovechkin. Or what's left of him.

[shadow_operative2.0 16181]

Duchene, bitches.

See what you did? 

[cactusflinthead 27626]

Dammit 

[shadow_operative2.0 16181]

Un-goddamn-real. 

[Longhorn_Fan68 34079]

exhibit #17863547859627084562 on why we need to get some help on defense. get the xtra point here and move the fuck on.

[shadow_operative2.0 16181]

That was about as horrific of OT possession as possible. 

Harley, bitches. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16181]

Never a doubt. 

[Firemans4Horn 18500]

[markstanco 12773]

can we just play the 2nd period going forward?  Wait, we are already doing that.

[Beau Vine 55824]

I've gone up to Cedar Park twice in 10 days. 

First, Stankoven is fucking tiny.  He'll make Wyatt look like Milan Lucic.  But... he's a fucking stud.   He's fast as shit, but more than that, he's just insanely quick.  And he has IT.  He knows where to go, he knows where the puck's going, and he's really good at finding open space on the ice, which mitigates his tinyness a lot.  When I just watched guys without the puck, he was the guy who just looked different.  Really good wrist shot, too.  

Bourque is slightly bigger, but slower and with less hockey sense.  Not a bad player, but pretty small, and a bottom-6 pest role is probably his NHL best-case.

None of the other guys looked they had futures in the NHL.   Speaking of, Jack Campbell was playing goalie for Bakersfield!

[shadow_operative2.0 16181]

At Buffalo on Bally Extra. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16181]

Duchene, bitches. 

[markstanco 12773]

This defense is awful. Their shitty team can enter the zone sliding on their ass with nobody challenging if they want.

Also, damn 21! Do something.

[markstanco 12773]

Can I get a faksa bitches please?

[shadow_operative2.0 16181]

Steel, bitches. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16181]

Feels like a 3-2 OT L after blowing that PP. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16181]

Well, Buff just keeps trying to make sure we get both pts. 

[cactusflinthead 27626]

Offsides half a dozen times is not good for my nerves 

[shadow_operative2.0 16181]

Never a doubt. 

[cactusflinthead 27626]

God I hate this stupid fucking app so much. Bally's can diaf

This applies in Cedar Park also, so frustrating.  Maybe, huge monstrous maybe, Pouliot (already 29 years old) can move up in a spot role, but there is not much there on defense otherwise.  Texas has developed a real penchant for allowing breakaways both at even strength and when on the power play.  I think they've given up 4 shorties in the last 3 weeks. 

As an aside, Riley Tufte (now with the Colorado Eagles) won the AHL fastest slap shot competition and finished second in the accuracy (targets in the goal) contest.

Man, Otter was nails last night. Good to see that after a meh, injury-riddled first half. I didn't watch much of the All-Star Game but sounds like he was really good in that too so let's hope he's rounding back into what he's been the last few seasons. His backup ain't taking us very deep in the playoffs.

Dahlin was big frustrated a few times.  I thought he was going to Bo Jackson his stick over his helmet after that one save from about 5-8 feet. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16181]

At good ol’ Toronto now. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16181]

Captain, bitches. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16181]

Dadonov, bitches. 

[cactusflinthead 27626]

Hell yeah Dado

[markstanco 12773]

Wedge currently on the time out to Jake: I don’t know what you were bitching about the D last night, it seems fine you whiner.

[shadow_operative2.0 16181]

stanco'd. 

[Fudbelty 2801]

Penalty shot!!

LFG!
