The Dallas Stars 2024 Playoffs Thread

Outplayed that period for sure so will take it going to the 2nd.  Pretty much a reverse of the Game 2 first period.  Hopefully this game follows that same trend.

You going Wednesday? Got an invite but I am pushing my luck with the wifey if I ask, headed to the lake with the fellows this weekend more than likely.

Yeah, win or lose tonight I'll be there.

[Skipper 6,127]

WTF are we doing.  Ridiculous

[Firemans4Horn 18,034]

Why are we getting caught so damn far behind the puck? 
 

4 on 2 seconds after they had a great chance. 
 

our top line is ass right now. 

[msudawg 371]

Fucking A.

Damnit

[shadow_operative2.0 15,948]

Goddamnit. 

[dcar00 14,153]

I'm jealous of the vegas odd man rush passing and skill.   they don't waste the chances they get.

[Beau Vine 54,207]

Feels like we're about to get buried.

[Firemans4Horn 18,034]

If you play like we have since we equalized then you deserve to lose. This is ugly ass hockey by the Stars right now. 

[C-Man 27,188]

We have very little giddyup tonight

[Firemans4Horn 18,034]

Hintz and Robbo a combined -4 with 0 shot attempts. 

[Skipper 6,127]

Need to score right damn now

[Beau Vine 54,207]

Roope can't even bleed tonight.

[Firemans4Horn 18,034]

I’ll take a zone entry on our power play just as a start. 

POW!!! Wyatttttt

[shadow_operative2.0 15,948]

Wyatt, bitches. 

[C-Man 27,188]

We are Wyatt Johnston and 19 other dudes

[msudawg 371]

Boom. Great job Wyatt

[Firemans4Horn 18,034]

Shoot the damn puck Robertson. What better look are you waiting for?

[C-Man 27,188]

Can they not get that errant glove out of the Vegas zone?

[dcar00 14,153]

sheesh our stickhandling leaves a lot to be desired.  passing and just general puck control.

Helmet was back there for a long time in the 1st.  Ref DGAF.

It's kind of night and day from last game where every pass found our stick and they couldn't get it into our zone.  That's the way hockey go?

[markstanco 12,571]

October 2024 when the regular season starts again.

[Firemans4Horn 18,034]

3 on 1 and no dice

[C-Man 27,188]

Jesus, you get the goalie that out of sorts you’ve got to score there

[Skipper 6,127]

Pavelski wants another shot at that rebound.  Damn.

[dcar00 14,153]

jesus. 

[C-Man 27,188]

This game is about as enjoyable as a root canal

[shadow_operative2.0 15,948]

Ty, bitches. 

[Firemans4Horn 18,034]

4th line has been doing work. Powwwww

[C-Man 27,188]

Wow, Sam Steel!

My bad, Ty!

[dcar00 14,153]

keep shooting from the goal line

[Skipper 6,127]

Top line getting outclassed but this 4th line came to play tonight!

[Beau Vine 54,207]

I wonder what our record is when TD scores a goal?

[Skipper 6,127]

Power plays completely changed the complexion of this game.  We were getting dominated and those turned it around.

[markstanco 12,571]

Did he score with his face?

[Skipper 6,127]

Nils only 1:45 ice time.  Don't think he's been back in after that god awful shift in the first.  

[C-Man 27,188]

I wonder what our record is when TD scores a goal?

2-0 in the playoffs all-time
1-0-1 in regular season this year
6-2-1 in 2022-23
2-0-1 in 2020-21

So, 11-2-3 all time by my quick count

[C-Man 27,188]

Nils only 1:45 ice time.  Don't think he's been back in after that god awful shift in the first.  

He played all of 2:21 in G3. He’s basically an emergency defenseman in case somebody gets hurt, I guess.

[Firemans4Horn 18,034]

So why did we release Hanley if we don’t trust Nils to even get on the ice? 5 defenders is for an emergency situation not an ongoing strategy. 

[Zepol87 9,185]

5 on 5 and we look like we are playing PK shit 

[Skipper 6,127]

I knew they would come out a little desperate but maybe let's spend a little time in their zone?  Cmon

[Zeus 6,014]

Let’s get a fuckin shot on goal boys come on

[C-Man 27,188]

This is gonna fall on Otter. I hope he’s up to the task. We are just try to strangle this game now.

I'll settle for more than 5 seconds on their end of the ice.   Have to play smart but also stay aggressive.  We aren't good enough defensively to turtle.

Don’t like that strategy but it looks like it 

[Firemans4Horn 18,034]

We need some offensive zone time. Way too much time left to play this defensively. 

[C-Man 27,188]

6:30 start Wed?

Stars look content to try and sit on this lead instead of counter attack. It’s a bold strategy, let’s see how it works out for them.
