Which Dallas goalie is going to start?

Is Bishop considered the starter or is this a 1A/1B situation? And would they start Khudobin? Didn't Washington start Copley last season before going back to Holtby?


From @ PredsTalk on Twitter
Ben Bishop career #'s against NSH:
2-5-2, .877% Sv%, 3.75 GAA

Khudobin career #'s against NSH:
3-3-1, .924% Sv%, 2.69 GAA

I guess if they do start Bishop, they would not hesitate to quickly go to Khudobin if Bishop gets lit up.

Despite the poor career performances against us I would have to think Bishop starts given his outstanding play recently and far superior numbers over Khudobin this year. However, I do agree that he will probably have a pretty short leash. It is kind of interesting that Khudobin started 4/5 games against us this season though.

Oh yeah, Bishop for sure. Aside from missing time, he is the #1 reason they made the playoffs and a Vezina finalist. The question would be like asking if Rinne would be our starter in last year's playoffs. It's a no-brainer. Bishop is the guy.

But that said, he also seems to be plagued by some time of nagging/chronic issue that has put him on and off the shelf at times this year. Khudobin has done well enough as backup - maybe better against us than some teams. I don't think the leash will be short at all despite the regular season success against us - aside from the health issue. If Bishop goes out, it'll probably be health related, not for any other reason. I don't know what his issue is, knees or groin or something probably. I guess given the huge impact he has had on the Stars' success, you want to get traffic on him anyway, and maybe Simmonds or Boyle, Watson, Simmonds in his grill and accidentally falling on him every now and then would be fair game for playoff hockey. We can't be too nice anymore.

Im guessing the original "Jonesey" who was on the old boards and was a Stars fan and a Preds STH isnt around here any more? He always said he'd root for Stars in this circumstance...

Maybe someone could find the actual stat to back this up but looking at the stars roster it doesn’t look like there’s a huge amount of playoff experience there, and quite a few rookies in the lineup. Could be an advantage for us

I figured Spezza and Polak would be some of their highest ones, cogliano as well. Unfortunate for Jamie Benn that he’s only played 19 playoff games in his career

Heard this stat on the radio today.

The Preds last 13 series (since Anaheim in 2011. Figured that out myself.) the winner of game 1 has won the series

Lower Bowl Dallas Stars Season Ticket Holder here.
Will be in Nashville on Wednesday - but without a ticket. So in lieu of StubHub, etc., I propose a trade.
I am looking for a Predator fan who has interest in going to Game 3 or 4 in Dallas (with one of my tickets) in exchange for a Game 1 ticket. I will have my Game 3 and 4 tickets with me to complete the deal.
If you are interested or you know anyone interested, send me a Profile Post so we can connect.
Good luck Preds fans - should be a great series.

Looking at Dallas' top lines compared to ours, not much separates us imo. When I look at their bottom lines compared to ours, that's where I see the difference. Maybe it's just me though, but I like our depth there a million times better than what they've got.
