The Dallas Stars 2024 Playoffs Thread

[C-Man 27282]

Here’s the game. Let’s end their streak of PK’s.

[texastroubadour 1226]

This series going to 7 games 

[Pato del Muerto 52616]

The time is now.  Otherwise at least cross check Perry in the teeth. 

[dcar00 14378]

christ what a disaster.  

[C-Man 27282]

[dcar00 14378]

such weak ass puck control

[Pato del Muerto 52616]

Winning zero races and zero battles.  Being outphysicaled, I assume in part to stay off the pk, while edm is playing hard nosed playoff hockey on the edge.

Friday night, my bros.

Bingo, just outworked badly.  Rage.

[dcar00 14378]

horrible. must win game 5.  

It might help if we could just be healthy for one series.

[Skipper 6207]

Worst overall game of the playoffs.  Just never recovered after they grabbed momentum in the first.   Going to have to dig deep on Friday if Tanev is out.   This team has a knack for bouncing back strong.

[Rex Kramer 1370]

Assfuck. We got whipped. Jackie Redmond would get it hard and quick. 

[pops 7007]

Really hope tanev is back Friday. He's been a fucking g back there. I was just listening on and off due to work. Did he just take a puck?

Yep slapper to I think the outside of the foot. Maybe ankle. 

[Rex Kramer 1370]

Stankoven can handle the puck but just gets lost - him and the puck - any time he’s challenged. The little dude just gets swallowed. 

[Rex Kramer 1370]

Tanev seemingly makes a 5-minute trip to the dressing room during every playoff game. He must have really felt that one tonight. Losing him would be terrible. He’s been playoff mvp. 

[Pato del Muerto 52616]

I didn’t see it on any replays but that last hit by Robo where their guy threw himself down grabbing his face, it seemed like he got right up after realizing there was no call.

he tries that chip and charge around all the time but he never gets by and like you say gets swallowed up by the defenseman.

There really ought to be some sort of penalty for doing that.

I fear this for his career. He's like a lot of guys that are jitterbugs playing football or basketball. They look neat, but very rarely do they have sustained success. They look fast because they’re quick, but most opponents are as fast (but might not look like it because they’re bigger). Once pros put bodies on guys like that, it’s over no matter the sport. Love his hustle but just not impressed.

Ain't much of a turnout. Do they sell any concessions, specifically booze? 

That was taken way earlier before puck drop. And yes they were selling plenty of booze. 

[Longboard Horn 40544]

It's like they decided to stop playing after getting those 2 goals. Oh well Stars in 6

[shadow_operative2.0 16032]

Appears they stopped playing after your pic.

JFC.  He's 21 years old and was a 2nd round pick (#47 overall).  Nobody is expecting him to be a top 10 player in the league. That was never his ceiling.   Many teams that passed never thought he could play at this level period given his size.

Bro, it’s Rex.

That idiot couldn’t spell sports if we spotted him 4 letters.

He would be a top 20 pick in a redraft.   It's fantastic value to have gotten him where we did and he will be a huge asset for this franchise.  Edit: I found a redraft from BEFORE this season that had him as a top 10 pick (#9).  I bet we see that consistently when these lists start getting made more frequently the next couple of years.  

Back to more important things, I randomly came across a twitter doc that tweets about NHL injuries and he thinks Tanev is either a broken bone in his foot (6-8 weeks) or a bone bruise (day to day).  We obviously won't know for sure until he either plays or season is over.  Like Deboer said, fingers crossed.  This team can win a game without him but don't think they can win the cup without him given lack of defensive depth with Hakanpaa seemingly not close (he didn't even travel).

Not surprisingly, Rex has shittier takes in this thread than Chewy.

[shadow_operative2.0 16032]

He’ll get his feelings hurt & have his shit deleted for the fourth time. That’s the goal. 

[GoldAppleCorps 625]

We can score goals with anybody. We can grind and claw with the best of them.

What we can't do is withstand our own good fortune.

The cloud in my head says that Tanev will be "day to day" until he returns late September to (somebody's) training camp.

Edmonton knows we spread out high and look to the middle on our PP. Stop throwing the puck into the center knot of bodies. They're standing there waiting for it. FFS, get low and press toward the net. Make them come get it.

[C-Man 27282]

As mentioned above, Stankoven is 21 and has all of 24 regular season NHL games under his belt and 17 playoff games. He’s nowhere near a finished product.

Tanev seen in a boot at the airport.

at least it's not a cast and crutches?

Got a bad feeling about Tanev.

[Skipper 6207]

Sounds like Bichsel if not Tanev.  19 YO with an NHL debut 2-2 in the WCF against the best player in the world?  Go get em' Tiger LOL.  We need to score 5+ goals tonight.

DeBoer could be playing games but here’s an update from Heika:

[Skipper 6207]

Right, saw that.  I mean DeBoer acted like Hakanpaa could be back in the Vegas series.  I take everything he says with a grain of salt.   But fingers crossed he's actually telling the truth on this one.

[Gucci_Suit 2660]

I have the nerves for tonight. 

[Fudbelty 2790]

I’ll be at Rocker B Ranch(google it and take your baseball team if you’re remotely able) coaching and may or may not be checking my phone for updates.

[Constant 6755]

Tonight is as must win as they come. They better figure it out.
