Vasi already has 14 wins?

Damn

Round robin shenanigans. He has played every minute so far though, except for extra attacker situations.

He's still young enough to do that. If he was 5+ years older that probably wouldn't happen.

Dallas is rested, got the underdog motivation, and playing lights out. Khudobin is hotter than the sun, and Seguin is a sleeping giant just waiting to wake up. Easy win for Dallas.

4-2 Dallas.

 

[DistantThunderRep]

Wow what a cool GDT.

you should do one for the Stars too since its the SCF

hoping for a great game, no more injuries from both sides and GO STARS!!

Witness the greatness of our Mod and Saviour, @TheDaysOf 04 . Praise him and shower in his love and judgement.

 

[DistantThunderRep]

I would assume Faksa will miss most of this series, which sucks

No Stammer for us too. I think it was confirmed yesterday.

True, I suppose I'll take that exchange

Even though Dallas without Faksa hurts them more than Tampa without Stamkos I feel like

 

[TimThomas24]

For the love of god, go stars

Why post a negative comment like that????
I was only posting what has happened this season between these two teams so far.

I have no idea where you are going with your post.

You know perfectly well why. Dont put on this act.

Wrong mod buddy.

Well we have had to deal with no Stamkos for this whole tournament and hasn't been the first time they had to. Not necessarily a new thing to them. Hope we see him soon though. We miss him is shot on the pp.

Go Dallas and Go Joe Pavelski. He may not have won it with the Sharks, but I'm rooting for him to win it anyway.

 

[Troy McClure]

Point is getting the first goal for the Bolts.

I agree. In game 3, Point will score the first goal of the series for Tampa.

That's wishful thinking if you think Tampa won't score until game 3. I'm afraid of Tampa coming in and blowing out Dallas early.

Cheers

 

[Kcb12345]

I'm guessing Stamkos will either be back for game 2 or 3

 

[Heddyzeppelin]

Love the GDT. Great job.

Tampa needs to take an early lead in this one. Not being well rested you don’t want to be playing from behind.

Lots of talent on both sides. Compelling storylines.

Let’s play hockey!

Go Bolts!!!

Nothing on Point yet, I'm guessing?

We gave up first goal in like 5 straight games against the Islanders. I'm more worried about us coming out flat and getting styled on like game 1 vs. the Isles.

Go Stars!
SNOG Stars 3-1
Radulov, Pavs, Dickinson
Goodrow

A big difference from the Islanders is PPs. From the first round on, the NYI had a 15.4% PP while the Stars have a 27.3% PP. The Islanders are good at keeping games tied, but they were not able to use the man advantage to change a game the way the Stars have.

It makes a big difference in how you play if you fear taking penalties. I guess the thing to see is how much the very veteran ref crew follows tradition of swallowing their whistles. It may seem counter intuitive to think the less offensive team would be hurt by “let them play” reffing, but the Stars have leaned very heavily on their PP.

What's a whistle? (NHL playoffs...) Oh those things the linesmen have to signal Offsides

PP is gonna be huge in this series. Dallas has been good at it while tampa needs work. Tampa has been good on the pk. Curious how Dallas will be there. If tb can neutralize their pp will be huge for them.

if stamkos comes back tampa's pp becomes deadly.
