[#19] ★ The Dallas Stars visit Mike Modano 2.0 ★ FS-SW ★ 6:00 CST ★

[Satan]

Janmark has been such a revelation with Spezza.

 

[ugrakarma]

One goal game after a stupid penalty. Sigh.

 

[Satan]

Brutal penalty

 

[BRoni]

That was costly

 

[Ghost of Kyiv]

Stupid play by Jamie and now a bad penalty by Goligoski. Good way to **** up a hockey game.

 

[BRoni]

For ****s sake. Back on the PK. If we lose this one...

 

[Ghost of Kyiv]

Good challenge, that shouldn't count.

 

[ugrakarma]

Tie game. It looked too easy after 2-0 anyways.

ed.

Saved by the bell.

 

[BRoni]

Got lucky. Tighten up

 

[Ghost of Kyiv]

Okay, I can breath now. 9 empty netters now on the year.

 

[ugrakarma]

They manage to win games but when was the last time the team looked really great? I know one shouldn't complain.

 

[BRoni]

Terrible game. The Stars win the face off practice.

 

[Satan]

3 years ago we would never score on the empty net. Now we do it every second game. Craziness.

You have to be winning at the end of the game for the other team to pull their goalie. I'll take it as a sign that we are holding onto leads late, and then capitalizing on our chances with the open net.

 

[Indianation65]

I always love the empty net goals...it does show the 6 men are scrambling to catch up, and I love being in the lead.

Addendum: Sure, we can all see parts of the game that need improving, and the team will improve. It's still nice to know the first place team still has room to grow!

Addendum II: I rarely understand these game-time titles.

 

[Rune Forumwalker]

Good challenge, that shouldn't count.

So with that challenge clearly Ruff said "no goal"...

They haven't been outstanding, but they have been good enough every night.

We don't over-commit like we did last year. We don't run up the score like we may have in the past, but we don't give up goals in bunches anymore either.

 

[LT]

They haven't been outstanding, but they have been good enough every night.

Yep. And right now, that's all we need to do. No need to go all out every night and wear ourselves out a quarter of the way through the season.

They're getting the lead and holding onto it, something we haven't seen for quite a while. I don't really care how we get the wins, as long as we get them.

6 months from now, we're not going to look back and think "oh but these weren't good wins". We're just going to know we had a great cushion later on from our early play.
