Jamie, bitches.

captain

[Constant 6885]

God damn it. 

[dcar00 14947]

of course...

[texastroubadour 1260]

Are the Stars actually alive and breathing?

[Constant 6885]

McDavid is annoyingly good. We get it, dude, you skate fast.

[Surly Bevo 25719]

It’s a fair question.

They have too many of these offensive drought periods.

They look awful. No energy. Just watching EDM do whatever the fuck they want

[Ghost of Shag 2730]

They are beating our ass in every phase of the game.

Sad but true. We have no juice. 

[markstanco 12785]

Run the Take A Shot play

[C-Man 27777]

Glad I’m not watching. About to go in to the RKS show at Austin City Limits. Go Stars!

[Constant 6885]

I don’t understand our offensive vision at this moment. We are late everywhere. 

[dcar00 14947]

edmonton faster and better control in the O zone.  Can Robertson show up?

we haven't really been consistent in our offensive zone for a while.   we have a spurt or 2 a game but that's it.

[cafe society 2903]

And it seems like Edmonton is a poor matchup for the Stars.  I think the record of late is fairly one-sided.

[Constant 6885]

Better start here. Johnston just missed that. 

[pops 7142]

That was a little floppy there, Tyler, but I'll take it!

[Constant 6885]

Would be nice if Robertson would throw something at the net every once in a while. Is he trying to lead in assists?

[Surly Bevo 25719]

My advice to the PP is suck less.

[C-Man 27777]

Might want to see if somebody will bite on that in the postseason.

[Ghost of Shag 2730]

Edmonton’s PP kill is sick. 

[Pato del Muerto 53454]

Oilers sure are into Jake a lot tonight. 

[Constant 6885]

Better 2nd for the Stars overall. 

[GoldAppleCorps 630]

EDM is playing like Vegas. Keeping everything to the outside and ensuring they're always shoulder to shoulder with their man.

Dallas is going to have to play ugly. Trying to skate past Edmonton won't work. Slap the puck below the goal line, race to it, and draw the Oilers out from the middle. Skinner made the 5 saves this game where he didn't even know the puck was there. Luck had 5 to even out eventually. 

Better second period. We had the more dangerous scoring chances. Just gotta get one in before EDM accidentally junks one in on a drive by.

[Pato del Muerto 53454]

Desharnais looked like a big fella out there so I looked and he’s listed at 6’7 and 225. Big fella. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16257]

Marchment, bitches. 

[GoldAppleCorps 630]

A lead - if t you can keep it

[Pato del Muerto 53454]

15 minutes of amazing defense pls. 

[tfoolry 8351]

[GoldAppleCorps 630]

The. Puck. Leaves. The. Zone. 

Every time! Maybe it's icing. Whatever. Don't miss a clear trying to make a pretty play.

[Constant 6885]

Oh lord. Hold on. 

[tfoolry 8351]

[shadow_operative2.0 16257]

Lindell, bitches. 

[dcar00 14947]

boom.

[Surly Bevo 25719]

Pow

[cafe society 2903]

Keep it up!

[tfoolry 8351]

🥅 🥅 🥅 

[Surly Bevo 25719]

Dicey times ahead

[Constant 6885]

What a weak call in that moment. 

[cafe society 2903]

Evander Kane with a stupid play, who woulda thunk it?

[shadow_operative2.0 16257]

Monday night, kids. 

[cafe society 2903]

BOOM!

[Surly Bevo 25719]

Great bounce back win. Especially after that shitty first period.

[Pato del Muerto 53454]

Good shape.  

[Constant 6885]

Good win. Going to be an absolute war.

[Pato del Muerto 53454]

Doesn’t help that skinner has turned into Duncan. 

[cactusflinthead 27627]

Broke Draisaitl's streak

This. Glad to get the W, but Edmonton is damn good and can’t help but feel right now like they’re the better team.

They seem to always win on the boards, pass with excellence and their penalty units are ridiculous.

Gonna take a Herculean effort to take them down.
