called it, also Honka is straight up garbage and should never play another game again
Wonder what the excuse will be this year. I'm sure it will be injuries again but that kinda circles back to the point that even when there are open roster spots due to injury, they keep playing the wrong ****ing players.
I'm sick of watching a team lead by Jamie Benn lose.
so i wonder what game he was watchingMonty just said this was Honka's best game of the season..I mean he was fine for the most part but the turnovers once again were just brutal
Honka's other games this season have been that bad, is all. I thought Honka was pretty good and decisive which is why the coaching staff wants.
No doubt they'll let themselves get home to see what they can do with rest and a better home schedule before making panic moves. But hopefully Seguin eats a benching at some point ( never will happen) to wake him from his $10mil slumber and Nill makes some moves to get Hintz and Gurianov up here permanently. Trade Comeau/Pitlick and get some speed. This is one of the slowest NHL rosters I've seen the Stars ice in a while and its not wonder our shot generation is terrible with guys like Spezza/Comeau/Hanzal plodding up and down the ice.
Glad to see people can actually see this, as opposed to last season when he was supposed to be better than hamhuis and pateryn. Maybe hitch completely broke him, but I thought he looked garbage then too when he actually played. Would gladly have either one of them in his roster spotcalled it, also Honka is straight up garbage and should never play another game again
Yeah, I’m there with you. I’m not a Nill homer by any means, as I think he’s had his misfires — what GM hasn’t? — but I think he’s done a great job overall and it would be a mistake to fire him. And I really like how he treats people, including things like sending players to places they’d like to go. We as fans often forget that the NHL is still about people, and it seems Nill hasn’t forgotten that. I think the Stars have a very competent and respected GM, and it would be hard to upgrade. And I think this is evidenced by the fact that high profile UFAs seriously consider coming to Dallas, like Tavares, even though we can’t make the playoffs.It's either Jamie Benn or Jim Nill that has to go before this team makes any progress towards being a contender.
Sad is its easier to get rid of Nill than our awful captain.
Still an upgrade over Pateryn IMHO.Glad to see people can actually see this, as opposed to last season when he was supposed to be better than hamhuis and pateryn.

I disagree, but I also thought hamhuis and pateryn were completely overused. They seemed very worn towards the back half of the season.Still an upgrade over Pateryn IMHO.
I agree on both counts: overused and worn out. But I do think Honka is done here and they need to simply move on. Perhaps trade for someone else’s “reclamation project,” for lack of a better phrase.I disagree, but I also thought hamhuis and pateryn were completely overused.
