Holy Overreaction, Bat Man!
It was playoff hockey. Our guys were playing hard, the controlled much of the game, but only played about 58 minutes, and a team like LV can make you pay. Of course, they got beat to some pucks, etc. It was playoff hockey. Most of the flubs (except Suter's) were forced by good play by Vegas.
While I saw a few missed calls, no none calls surprised me. The 5 on 3 surprised me, of course.
Did you not see how the game tying goal transpired?Still confused by all the Suter hate as I usually am, Miller, Hanley and Harley are all worse.
Or just watch any regular season game from the last 2 yearsDid you not see how the game tying goal transpired?
Right, and on the game loser, Miller fell down in the crease. Suter screwed up for one goal. The Stars lost because they gave up three. Suter wasn't responsible for all three against. There aren't any better options than Suter available now.Did you not see how the game tying goal transpired?
But would the stars have interest in trading for Matthews if they lost this series?
Go to capfriendly first. The Stars couldn’t afford Matthews unless the Leafs agree to take back Seguin.This is probably a long shot, and I wasnt sure where to post this as I didnt see a trade thread
But would the stars have interest in trading for Matthews if they lost this series?
Matthews extended at say 12.5M for 8 years + Nick Robertson for cap piece (marchment?) + Wyatt Johnson + Stankoven + 2025 1st?
Is that too much?
I can see why, those two guys are really good and the stars can hold off on adding a superstar if they feel these two become stars and balance the depth
Just was curious and wanted to inquire here rather than make a main board thread. If the value is poor/fit is poor no issues
Suter has played pretty shutdown D all playoffs long. Good outlets, smooth transition play, clears the crease, takes his man and brings some nasty that we lack . Game 1 of this series, he and Miro both looked off. That turnover tonight stings bad, but I think he has been pretty solid this postseason (especially in comparison to the other D, sans miro).Did you not see how the game tying goal transpired?
True dat.I think the dejection is mostly because what the outlook is now. Have to win 4 of 5....and still have to win a game in Vegas, all with a heartbreaking loss to shake off.
Makes it bleaker than heading home with a split

Agree Suter was pretty good yesterday until his brain cramp. But, Harley was good, too. I did see a turnover or two, but in reality, LV has a real aggressive forecheck and that will happen from time to time. For my money, Harley has been impresssive.Yes, one mistake. Harley and Hanley made about 20 in the game.
I'm not going to say Suter is some beast of a player, but he is better than the other 3 who f*** up about 10 times more often while playing 10 minutes less.
Imagine the score if Harley played 24 mins and Suter played 14.. holy f*** would have been 12-0 Vegas.
No, it's more about putting things in perspective when folks want to act like Suter is the sole reason the Stars lost. Harley made a number of blunders, but that doesn't mean he sucks.We're bashing Harley now? He has looked pretty damn good in these playoffs. Way better than I would have expected.
Fair enough.
I have been in the "Suter has been good enough" camp these playoffs aside from alot of terrible chips off the boards but there are dozens of dmen bad for that. Suter hate will magnify it though.
Also probably means the Stars won't buy him out this offseason. They will just say look how well he did in the playoffs, thats why we keep him aroundOutside of this series, Suter's been good in these playoffs. I think that actually bothers me more because it implies he was sandbagging the shit out of the regular season.
He was never getting bought out, it was wishful thinking on our parts. We're stuck with him for the remainder of that contract, or a FO changeAlso probably means the Stars won't buy him out this offseason. They will just say look how well he did in the playoffs, thats why we keep him around
