Side note: this is probably the happiest I've been looking at a Stars lineup in a long time (minus Spezza being sick, which sucks) but still. D-pairings look good. Forward lines are still a question mark but at least looked promising last game...I just hope Val can keep doing what he's been doing these past couple of games. He needs to be consistent with that no matter how many opportunities he misses

I could easily be happier with Dickinson as our 2C though

Another side note: Didn't realize Jokiharju is off the team

Let’s go boys

Hope they show up before the 2nd period

Probably a good call . Colliton didn't seem to like him very much and only played him like 12 minutes a game after Quennville really gave him minutes and played him toppairing wiht Keith i think. Also can't hurt to get him away from the losing the Hawks are going through and allow him some positivity with the finish junior team.

That would have been something if Klinger got that one

 

[Kcb12345]

Lol well that was fast

 

[serp]

Great shot not sure if anyone could've done anything different outside of well win the faceoff.

 

[Kcb12345]

Jeez Val another point blank chance

 

[MBTendy]

Jeez Val another point blank chance

It’s not even funny anymore

 

[TheNorthStars]

It’s not even funny anymore

Maybe just a little...

 

[Kcb12345]

2nd unit looked really good right there

 

[serp]

Second unit looked much better . Forwards couldn't on the first couldn't do anything to bring the puck to Klingberg.

 

[Kcb12345]

Val looking beastly out there. Should've been another penalty imo they pretty clearly tripped him again I thought. They could barely handle him down there

 

[Satan]

Just got home hwo are we doing fellas

 

[serp]

The droppass to Heiskanen for a wristshot looks now like its a regular play , cool.

 

[serp]

Another great chance for Val and good stop by Bishop

 

[Kcb12345]

I'm loving this Nichushkin-Shore-Gurianov line so far. Val and Guri showing a glimpse of some possible chemistry

Seriously how many chances can this guy get before scoring? He badly needs a puck to just hit him and go in or deflect off someone and in

 

[Satan]

Nice muffin of a shot from Nichushkin lol

 

[MBTendy]

Que the “one move Val”

 

[Satan]

Val is trying to become the Corsi Man

 

[Kcb12345]

Ward looking like he's gonna play his best game in years and shutout the Stars

 

[MBTendy]

We got the Ward from ‘05

 

[MBTendy]

Shore’s line excites me

If you had never watched hockey before and just turned this game on you would think Val was a superstar. Creating chance after chance. You gotta think he's going to finish one eventually.
