SAVE 3M A YEAR


BUY OUT THE SHOOTER TUTOR a

I'm down to put him in the AHL and call up Lagace.

Seriously.

 

[Benneguin]

A positive to take from game is that Niemi was terrible and the Stars still got a point.

If Nill is loading Nemi into a canon pointed at the sun as I type this, otherwise no.

 

[Mr Misty]

Remember Niemi stole us a point in St Louis in the 9 round shootout. We banked another point tonight as well from 2 down in the 3rd.

Resting Kari was a gamble that paid off ok, we can't afford to break him from overuse before the playoffs.

 

[Magic Mittens]

Nill is going to have a busy summer. Needs to unload Niemi and figure out which D to resign or how to replace them.

I think he will move Niemi, and will resign Gogo and Russell

I really hope Dallas does not resign Goose. He will get paid like a number 2 and he should not be a number 2 on Dallas. If he takes a slight discount then maybe.

I see him taking a hometown discount, don't know why, just how I feel haha

How much rest does he need? Only 12 games left in the season and he only has 31 starts this season or about half of what he's been averaging the past two years.

What would it cost to buy both of them out?

[Benneguin]

-3 for Johns tonight. Was it as bad as that looks?

 

[Benneguin]

That's a 0-5-0 record disguised as 1-2-2. Hopefully he's been buy everyone dinner lately.

Yeah. It was pretty rough.

Starting 10-ish games in a row can be as bad as starting 50-ish over a season. We've all seen Stars goalies unable to win both back-to-back games, and I wager all goalies struggle to win if they have to start both ends.

An extra day off for Kari when we get a point out of St Louis is nothing to cry over. If you offered me a point from every Niemi start through the end of the season I'd take it in a heartbeat.

i get why Niemi started today but you're way over exaggerating the affects of playing 10 games in a row. First it was we needed to limit Kari to under 60 games a year so we got Niemi. Now we have to limit Kari to sub 10 game stretches? This in a season he's only played 30 or so games at the 70 game mark? What happening in the playoffs when the participation points are removed? Can we win the cup in 9 games?

Certain goalies have occasionally had i***** problems involving their g*****. There won't be back-to-backs in the playoffs, but those can exacerbate certain tendencies toward g**** i******* if certain goalies have to play both nights. The Stars are much better off giving certain goalies rest now, and also us not jinxing them with more explicit talking about this, so that their g***** don't explode before the playoffs

Janmark injured or HS?

One goal was on niemi and Oduya. Oduya was out of position and caused a 2 on 1. Johns played it well. Niemi gave up a mammoth rebound and Oduya skated past puck. If niemi was just decent the stars would have won game.

Injured or sick, I believe. Never saw anything official, though.

Johns was as clumsy as a baby giraffe out there against STL.

Wow. We've had pretty much all of our injuries for the year within a 2-week span.
