interesting that the FCC line was out for the 4 th goal against the vaunted 4 th line of Carolina!

 

[Kcb12345]

FCC has been pretty bad defensively it feels like this season

 

[Kcb12345]

Caught a break tonight with Nashville and Chicago losing, or you could argue its a massive missed opportunity

I still might argue that considering the Stars have 4 of their remaining games against Florida and Tampa.

If they lose to Nashville this weekend though, it's definitely over.

 

[JeffP]

well, at least the preds got a nice asswhippin

 

[JeffP]

Yea, I Want To Believe- but I have to turn this off.. I cant do it anymore tonight :\

 

[ugrakarma]

Whee. WHEEEE.

 

[Satan]

f*** this

 

[starsfan86]

Even if we make it somehow we will be swept

 

[Linus Bryksa]

good night Irene - Stars look like they have for most of the year!

 

[Kcb12345]

Yeah not worth watching the rest of this

 

[Linus Bryksa]

shut up Daryl! just shut the f*** up!

 

[Blindsummit]

Well at least JRob got a goal. Picked him up for my fantasy team very early in the season and he's been gold.

 

[Linus Bryksa]

Even if we make it somehow we will be swept

even if we ended up playing Detroit in a playoff match - this team would be swept!

An interesting thing to watch is how much Tampa and Florida start using the final games to rest the big names and coast into the playoffs.

Facing the B squad and losing would be typical.

I guess there is the risk those taxi squad guys come in fresh and ready to prove something.

 

[ugrakarma]

The good part about the game is that it's finally over.

 

[Linus Bryksa]

just checked the NHL stats for the FCC line - they are minus 9, minus 11 and minus 13 - Wow what a defensive core! the only conclusion is that Bowness is really stupid playing this line or - I don't know what - this line is useless - can't defend and cannot score!

 

[serp]

Should've rested Hintz and Klingberg if you're gonna lose big .

 

[Linus Bryksa]

sorry misread the stats - doesn't matter which is which - -4, -6 and minus 10 - let's just keep this line together because - who the hell knows but Bowness!

 

[serp]

The line is mainly kept to together to not have to play any of the scoring fowards in the tougher matchups. If the team was healthy i'd say break it up. But right now ? You can switch up Faksa and Dickinson thats about it.

 

[serp]

Didn't really expect a win so i went to sleep and didn't watch the game and proved to be right. They got one out of the two of the back to back so i'll take it. At the end of the day the roadtrip is going to decide if they make it or not. A win on Saturday of course is the most important one.

 

[catters078]

I think we have to calm down a bit with critism. Been a brutally exhausting stretch. I think at this point back 2 backs are too much (against a top team none the less).

Im still excited to see the last 7 games. Put whatever is left on the line. Maybe get 4th..maybe not.

We got help today from Florida so today was a push. 2 pts back with 2 in hand. Lets see what we can do

All in all I don’t think the stars played that bad .Dobby could have made a few of those saves but there was also some puck luck for the canes .PP looked atrocius though.Hopefully seguin is in next game . While he will probably be a bit rusty for the first couple games , getting a well rested #1 center should probably help a little .
