GDT: [Game #68] Dallas Stars @ Vancouver Canucks - 9:00 PM CT (BSSW)

I'm going to love watching Miller in the playoffs.

Just hope that this doesn't kick start a losing streak. Last time we lost to Vancouver it kick started our current winning run....let's hope we don't "bookend" it tonight

How the f*** is Miller +19 on the season? Heiskanen dragging his corpse into a positive player somehow

 

[ugrakarma]

They should clone Esa and Miro and roll the clones as second and third pairs.

Better have short memory since this was lame.

Boring, uninspired, pathetic loss. Somewhat expected because of the b2b, but still

I'm drunk af so no worries on my end. I won't remember shit in the morning.

I'm doing a dry quarter, still a few weeks to go. Less insanity this way.

Good on you, my friend. Seriously.

 

[serp]

The expected loss , sadly . Murray isn't that good and the team really looks tired. Not to mention somehow the Canucks started a winning streak now that their season is pretty much over.

I mentioned Stars may need a better #3 at the deadline in case Wedgewood still needs more time but what can you do. Don't think anybody worth it the Stars could afford was out there.

 

[catters078]

If we can at worst split Edmonton/Calgary to round out the trip with 4 wins....I think it sets us up to still be the 1 seed in the central. Have a comfortable set of games following.

Main question is overusing Jake. Hope wedgewood can return.

 

[Satan]

Thatcher Demko owns the Stars.

 

[MBTendy]

Let’s hope this spells the end of Nils being scratched in favour of Hanley/Miller. Ridiculous that Nils has to deal with this when theres far better options to scratch a dman if needed.

Almost thought about staying up for this game and powering through my morning at work … glad I didn’t lol.

Also i’d imagine we’re more appreciative of Wedge after reading everyone’s critics (and stat watching) about Murray’s performance last night.

I just did a an unintentional dry year.

Lundkvist was going to remain scratched until the Stars lost or injuries forced DeBoer to play him. That’s the DeBoer rule. He does not make lineup changes after a win. It’s why the Stars winning the first night of a back to back guarantees the same tired 18 skaters the next night.

With the loss last night, Lundkvist can now play again.

 

[Zapp]

Nobody should be concerned about that game last night. Late start, back-to-back, with no Mush or Seguin and an AHL back-up goalie in net against a team that has been playing well as of late.

The L doesn't bother me at all.

 

[Troy McClure]

Oettinger getting a night off was worth more than two points. Let's hope he doesn't have to wait another month for another break.

How did Murray look ?

 

[Troy McClure]

How did Murray look ?

Every goal against wasn't his fault, but he also didn't make any saves to keep them in it. The team in front of him was bad, so this becomes one of those games where you can see why he's not an NHLer while also feeling bad for what he was asked to mop up.

 

[hairylikebear]

I've been nothing but impressed with Murray since he's become Stars property and last night was no exception. My fear going into the game is that Murray wouldn't be able to finish it, and those 2 quick GAs at the start doubled my doubt, but he settled in and did a great job for the role he fills in the organization.

 

[LT]

He had a few amazing stops, which is good. Definitely not ready for consistent NHL play.

He made some pretty excellent saves in the 2nd.

Ya judging by the highlights he didn’t have much of a chance . He does look like a very athletic and poised goalie , I will say that . His movements are crisp .
