The Dallas Stars 2024 Playoffs Thread

[AbeFroman 2,192]

Watching the Stars power play this series has been amazing.

[C-Man 27,231]

Otter with a .000 save percentage. Is that bad?

[TexPx 2,323]

On the bright side they didn’t give up a short hander.

[C-Man 27,231]

Do not get in a 4v4 situation guys

[dcar00 14,275]

thats all Edmonton needed was a soft penalty.

[Ghost of LL 15,539]

Some real soft calls going the other way.

[C-Man 27,231]

thats all Edmonton needed was a soft penalty.

It was a slash. And necessary. He probably scores otherwise.

[Billy Pilgrim 1,968]

I guess we’re the only team that gets embellishment calls.

[markstanco 12,577]

Wow. I hate the guy who blames refs but I am leaning that way like a stupid fucking aggy.

And they completely missed the high stick shove into the bench. 

[C-Man 27,231]

Yes, there’s that.

WTF was Tanev doing there?

[dcar00 14,275]

gotta get McDavid his cup.  

[C-Man 27,231]

Good night, Irene

4-for-last-5 PP goals. Brutal.

[shadow_operative2.0 16,006]

Well, Rangers are still WS Champs. 

[texastroubadour 1,216]

Turn out the lights. We got nothing AGAIN

[DDD Dad 14,339]

This is some serious bullshit. 

[Billy Pilgrim 1,968]

Can we just decline the pp and play full strength. We all know how this is gonna end. 

[dcar00 14,275]

shoot the fucking puck

[AbeFroman 2,192]

Simply amazing

[DDD Dad 14,339]

2 goals on 3 shots. JFC

[dcar00 14,275]

gotta get McDavid his cup...

first one was soft as shit, 2nd one should have been 4v4

The refs aren't going to call everything. When your power play is this weak, the other team is gonna play like bullies. They don't fear getting called.

[Henry Hill 3,156]

1st period looked like the last 3. Have to be aggressive from this point forward. That was brutal.

I think this is right.  They could have been called for at least 3 more.  Doesn't seem like it would have mattered.  The first call on us was weak AF.  2nd one, Suter needs to move his fucking feet and not get in that position. He's just too fucking old.  He actually had a solid playoffs until this series all things considered but his legs are done. 

So god damn frustrating.  Completely outplayed them 5 on 5 but give those fucks a PP and we are toast.

I mean outside of the power plays we pretty much dominated that period.   They (at least McDavid) are just too fucking good 5 on 4.   That first goal was insane.   That is just elite talent being elite.  Nothing we could do about it.

[Billy Pilgrim 1,968]

Both oilers goals have been up high. We continue to shoot at leg pads instead of adjusting.

[Hagbard Celine 10,871]

starting on 23 jan we went 7-1, then went 1-6, then 5-0, 0-2, then 8-0

we are 100% jekyll hyde

we have 40 minutes to change our STARS

[C-Man 27,231]

Can’t buy a goal

0-2 isn’t a “streak” worth mentioning really. I’d say that was 13-2.

[GoldAppleCorps 619]

It's not my old assed legs, but the Oilers are attempting a 30 minute PK. Only way to break that is by out skating them. Gonna be exhausting.

[dcar00 14,275]

lots of blind pass giveaways.  we are done.

[C-Man 27,231]

I see nothing that gives me much hope at all in the third period. Skinner has the answer any time we get close. Otter is likely to let in another one.

[GoldAppleCorps 619]

Pull Otter if you have to. This has to score!

[dcar00 14,275]

we are a complete disaster...

[C-Man 27,231]

O-fer on PP for this series. That is simply shocking.

[DDD Dad 14,339]

[perfectchaos007 6,675]

Not dead yet

[GoldAppleCorps 619]

Look. Game 5 was a clown show. Not defending that. This game has been a thoroughly contested effort where the best player in the world got 2 early.

We gotta get another one by Skinner. The Oilers completely shut down their offense. Have to make them pay for that!

[Henry Hill 3,156]

Sending the bat signal

[wutang75 449]

We are treading on historic territory. Last time a team had 10 shots on goal or less was 2008, then 1990, 1974, 1961.

Maple Leafs at 6 in 2000.

[shadow_operative2.0 16,006]

Ain’t much left to say. 

[dcar00 14,275]

fucking ridiculous.  good job NHL.  1 even strength goal in the last 6 periods.

[GoldAppleCorps 619]

Better team won. 

[C-Man 27,231]

Special teams buried us — their PP got hot and their PK was perfect.

Dammit 

 

Just dammit 

[Fudbelty 2,788]

Fuck. Great season, gents. See ya in the fall.

[Skipper 6,136]

Left it all on the ice tonight.  Nobody can question their character that's for sure.   Completely outplayed them but just couldn't finish.  Which is really the story of the playoffs.  Sometimes it really is about peaking at the right time and we just couldn't score goals.   Hurts mainly because this is probably the best team we've had in 25 years and that's it for several of these guys, but still a great run and great team.   We'll get back.

[Pato del Muerto 52,528]

Can’t find nicely aggregated stats from a quick search, but the penalties didn’t seem all that different even though one team was playing obviously to avoid them and the other team playing like they didn’t care if they got called. 
 

And then the conversions were the difference. 

[markstanco 12,577]

Yea good season. Feel bad for Joe.
