Good finds. Those are fun to read. I admittedly don't follow too much until they get to Dallas. Any of the other guys discussed still in our future, or have they washed out already?

Grushnikov was paired with Petrovic as the top defensive line for the Texas Stars for 2/3 of the year.  He was traded to the Calgary organization as part of the Tanev trade.  Decent on defense, but Dallas seems to have gotten the best of the trade so far.

Nice nod to the Razor there in that headline ...

[Longhorn_Fan68 34,102]

 

guessing we get Marchment or Faksa, or both, back. But who draws out? Dellandrea has been playing well. Same with Smith. No way Steele slots out because he is the playmaker on that line.

Because hockey has a lot of stupid fucking rules.

Yeah that was clearly intentonal, bloodying and possibly even breaking Seguin's nose. The TV ref guy said it looked like an elbow at first but he actually only ended up hitting him with his arm. So fucking what? The intent was for it to be an elbow, and he still gave him a cheap shot that put blood on the ice. And out of all that, the maximum penalty they can give is 2 minutes? What in the actual fuck.

I bet Faksa based on what Owen Newkirk was saying that Faksa was doing more things already. Personally, I might roll with what we've done the past three games unless either of those guys is 100% back. Shit, maybe dress 13 forwards if you're not going to play Lundkvist more than 2-3 mins. God forbid there's some emergency, could somebody slot back for a few mins here and there. Where's Dustin Byfuglien when you need him?

[markstanco 12,786]

I know, grammar and all but I chuckled.

$100 says he's sitting on his couch eating ice cream.

Looks like they are going Hill again.   Interesting decision.  Hill didn't play bad Wednesday but I also think all things considered he's less likely to completely steal a game like Thompson almost did in game 3.   If we can finally start finishing at the net like we have all season it won't make a shit.

[Ghost of LL 15,699]

I think Hill is the better goalie.  And he has a proven track record of being able to lead a team to a Cup.

Thompson has a good bit.  A lefty gives shooters an entirely different look.  But it's pretty apparent that the Stars figured out that he has a big hole up near his left ear.  And once the Stars figured that out in Game 4, he looked a lot less effective.

[Mittens 8,705]

Which one of y’all is this?

That guy's a season ticketholder in Cedar Park.  I've never seen him wear the same jersey twice.

Just looked up to see who was tending for them.

Side note, hill and Thompson are the least goalie names ever for a team. Sounds like bowlers or tennis players.

Bet there’s a fair amount of people in DFW that are gonna miss part of the game due to weather. 

[Longhorn_Fan68 34,102]

Go Stars!!!!

[Zeus 6,848]

My kids are flipping the fuck out past their bedtime climbing all over me while I’m trying to watch, feels like Jake getting screened trying to find the puck lol

[Zeus 6,848]

Stank gets the puck

Big period here. Let’s lock it down. 

You’re allowed to hit somebody in the back of the knee like that?

[Firemans4Horn 18,528]

Seguin is just a guy these days. Come on man. 

[ztejas 44,223]

Yeah kind of needed that to go in...

[dcar00 14,947]

Seguin shot it right into his stomach. 

[dcar00 14,947]

God damn these fucking pussy refs

[markstanco 12,786]

Kind of a fan of stank and 20 being on the ice at the same time. A rover and a d attacker.

we've had one game where it felt like we might have gotten some weak calls.  Vegas gets a ton.
