GDT: [#70] Dallas Stars at Minnesota Wild, 7:00 PM CST (FS-SW)

[LT]

I’d be alright if Pitlick just didn’t come back honestly

He’s in that same group as Cogs, Janmark, Comeau, etc. Does some things well but others very poorly. Decent bottom 6 player but not anything impactful. We have plenty of those already.

L’Esperance at least gives us a similar level of play with some better offensive potential.

I’ve been a fan of L’Esperance game since he came up, but would welcome pitlick back. Seems it wasn’t too many games ago people were already saying L’esperance sucks

L’Esperance reminds me a bit of Henry Rollins and it's disturbing to say the least.

HAHAHA! He also puts som pressure on Zuccarello when he returns which is not a bad thing.

I'm just a fan of trying something new. When both injured forwards are back, put Ritchie and Nichushkin out to pasture. Then make the scratch rotation become Pitlick, Cogliano, and Janmark. See if one of them steps up their game.

 

[BfantZ]

Wow , apperantly the wild had zero high danger scoring chances 5 on 5 and just 2 the whole game .

 

[Dynamite Time]

Just finished watching the game. First off, congrats to Bish. Hope he's okay.

Second. The Kids are Alright!

Huge win for Stars!

On their updated playoff chances, ESPN has Blues at 98% chance of PO, Stars about 90%. Yotes just over 50, wild in 20's.

 

[Dynamite Time]

The Wild didn't do anything offensively, like the Stars have often through the season, but they didn't defend well either.

Hintz, Faksa, L'Esperance and Dickinson looking good lately in our top 12; can't wait till Zuccarello gets back in as well.

2019 Playoffs
Hell Yeah We're In!

I agree. Once our forwards get healthy Nichushkin and of course Ritchie should be out. Janmark, Pitlick and even Cogliano should be fighting for time.

Hopefully the stars have a higher chance than the blues since we are above them in the standings.

Doesn’t seem right. Dallas has more ROW than STL and the same amount of points. An 8% swing makes no sense

 

[Betelgeuse]

Any word on Bish?

 

[Sports2]

What a Chad.

 

[Magic Mittens]

Thought at first it maybe had something to do with b2b games, but both STL and Dallas have the same. Pretty close schedule also. We have 7 home games, and STL has 7 as well.

Yeah doesnt make much sense, but I'll gladly take a 90% chance right now

Seems like maybe it hadn't updated properly.

Sportsclubstats has Dallas at 95,9% and St. Louis at 96,7%

Sportsclubstats has Dallas at 95,9% and St. Louis at 96,7%

which is just odd that St. Louis has a higher percentage with a lower ranking

 

[Johno]

They have been doing better than Dal lately. It's relative, not just about whose where in the standings, I think

 

[BennsGonnaGetYou]

They score more goals and have better pp.
