[serp]

Guessing Eaves fighting unsuprisingly dinged him up a bit . With Ritchie still out time it might be Moen time .

Also Niemi apparently is in Net.

 

[serp]

Or maybe no Moen time.

 

[Magic Mittens]

Wonder when Moens last NHL game will be

Maybe if game 82 against the Preds means nothing for us

 

[serp]

Well at least he got to do this .

 

[LT]

I'm not really sure who I'd rather play out of Minnesota and Chicago.

 

[serp]

Minnesota may be hot right now but if we actually hold onto the Division lead it would mean the Stars are too.

Our remaining schedule is harder than that of the Blues so i don't expect us to win the division but if we do the team has earned it by beating some tough opponents down the stretch . Not to mention the confidence boost they would get from that .

I'm just happy it's not the Blues if the regular season series was any indication than it would be boring to play them.

 

[Hockey Dad]

What is wrong with Ritchie

 

[serp]

The Stars usual X-body injury. Lower body for Ritchie IRC

I'm not really sure who I'd rather play out of Minnesota and Chicago.

We have absolutely owned Chicago this year sans that one home game where they torched us. Taking down the defending champs in the 1st round could set the pace for a deep playoff run for us. Either way, we're going to have to play someone tough if we want to get far. Might as well do the rest of the league a favor and get rid of Chicago early. I will say this; they're a wounded animal right now with Crawford out and Keith possibly being out for some PO games and wounded animlas in nature can be dangerous.

 

[Hockey Dad]

Watching warm ups. I don't like the white at home. On a positive note I don't see Moen and eaves is on the ice.

 

[Hockey Dad]

Somebody please slap that drop pass out of klingberg

 

[Mr Misty]

Was that a little bit of head as pp of c?

 

[Benneguin]

Hemsky needs to be one timing those.

 

[Hockey Dad]

Hemsky probably can't one time with that baby stick

 

[Ghost of Kyiv]

I've seen this episode before

 

[Ghost of Kyiv]

Big fan of the Roussel-Faksa-Hemsky combo, love that our third line isn't a liability anymore.

 

[Hockey Dad]

Always have heard the Czech players play better together and hemsky has played some of his best hockey since playing with Faksa.

 

[ugrakarma]

I thought 1st that Smith got that one. Two goal cushion sweet.

 

[Ghost of Kyiv]

40 on the year for the captain, 2nd highest goal scoring season in Dallas Stars history.

 

[Hockey Dad]

I thought 1st that Smith got that one. Two goal cushion sweet.

Yeah you could tell he was pissed that he let that one in.

 

[Satan]

Faksa is perfection

 

[serp]

I like how the team has become much more physical now and isn't afraid to respond when opponents start taking liberties.

Classic Stars sticking up for each other. See McKenzie vs Kulikov for another great example

 

[phil7488]

Faksa looks damn good
