Not pretty but a good win against a strong team in the 2nd of a back to back on the road.

he always looks SO huge when he flairs out (almost) all of his appendages at the same time

Gotta let the peacock fly

No, not pretty, but pretty effective. After a few horrible games on defensive positioning and high GAA, it seems PDB has focused them on defense for now, almost to the point of being Bones II, at least for a few games. Although, he always did say they wanted to balance offense and defense, so its not like a total change in philosophy, just a tweak when he found out they couldn't run, gun, and win as they were doing for a while.

Overall, not a bad midseason adjustment.

I think they need to adjust when playing a high flying team like the Devils. Good to see that they are capable of playing that style.

I thought they played quite well. Devils got their chances but they are a talented team, it's gonna happen. If it weren't for their goalies 3-4 heroic saves, the game would have been 4-1 a lot earlier. I know Wedgewood made some nice stops as well, but the Devils goalie made some saves on what looked like sure goals.

Solid win

3rd game in 4 nights and a back to back to boot. Not exactly the kind of game you exppect high flying offense from . Stars had their chances for more and won the game . At the end thats what matters. Stars play every other day until Christmas break. Games unlikely getting prettier until that break.

We're rapidly approaching the dog days of the season . Just collect points , not get injured and thats all that matters now.

After the All-Star break the Stars have maybe the lightest February i have ever seen. Get to that point grinding out points in an ugly fashion if you have to and the team can go back to more fun hockey
