Is it a little too early to ask who the next loss will be against?

Is it a little too early to ask who the next loss will be against?

It's never too early to ask that, but I just hope it isn't tonight.

 

[Magic Mittens]

They need this win tonight for alot of reasons. This is a big test and they've got no excuses tonight

Let's go Stars

 

[LoneStarHockey]

I know it's ridiculously early and there is a ton of hockey left to be played, but this does feel like a game that they need to win.

 

[LoneStarHockey]

Looks like Hamhuis will be back tonight and paired with Johns

PREGAME

COACH HITCHCOCK

 

[LoneStarHockey]

Stars are skating well so far

 

[BrettHullsToe]

This is getting to be a broken record - dominate play in the opening period but not have much to show for it. During the summer, I never thought goal scoring would be this team's biggest problem.

 

[BrettHullsToe]

Woo, nice snipe by the captain - bout time the dam broke.

 

[LoneStarHockey]

Seguin!!! At the buzzer, finally!!!

 

[serp]

Shore has been a nice addition to the Powerplay , very impressed by the kid. Tireless worker and also really good at setting up players.

Yeah, I like Shore out there since Spezza is kinda redundant with Seguin, Benn, and Radulov. It allows Spezza to make the 2nd unit a threat as well since he let's them do more than dump and chase.

 

[LoneStarHockey]

Yeah, Shore has been impressive.

Let's not get too comfortable here, still have 20 minutes. Stars need to finish strong.

 

[LoneStarHockey]

Damn, Stars just have to make games exciting.

 

[LoneStarHockey]

Lol Zadorov

 

[serp]

Secondary Scoring hasn't clicked so far. Don't think we can just have one Line carry us all year long.

 

[Satan]

lmao Nemeth fighting Seguin. ok pal

lmao Nemeth fighting Seguin. ok pal

I guess you already knew Nemeth is a strong dude. Very curious about what actually happened there, if Seguin said something humiliating or if it was just in the heat of the game? Nemeth looked furious and almost smashing his visor in pieces, laying bombs, usually he is a very calm type of person.
