Weird way for the Preds 18-game long point streak to end. Smoked by the Coyotes 8-4. Preds had a 2-0 lead early in the game as well. Cooley got his first career hat trick for the Yotes

So that Preds point streak is book-ended by a 9-2 loss and an 8-4 loss.

On the other hand, the Coyotes are on a hot streak right now. Won 5 of their last 7, both of those losses were to us

Dress for the job you want, not the one you have.

I will never understand the obsession some folks have with that color scheme, especially the ones who then turn around and shit on the Stars blackout sweater.

They can have it if it’s that strangely important to them. My only ask is take what is pretty much our logo off the pants. They should be their own person.

They can also have it because the Dallas Stars have never worn it. I don't associate that green, gold, and white with the team I've been watching.

I agree. In fact, they can have everything North Stars back, including records and retired numbers. Let us have 19, 8, and 7 (which I know was technically retired in Dallas, but it wasn't for the ~100 games he played here, lol) back and available.

It's pathetic that Minny tries to hold onto the history of a team that left them for greener pastures.

It's the history their fans watched with the own eyes. It belongs to Minnesota.

For me in Dallas, that pre-93 stuff is all just media guide filler. I have zero attachment to any of it it because it was all memories enjoyed by people living 1,000 miles away and had nothing to do with Dallas.

Homie, that's a Stars jersey with a Wild logo on the front.

Except for it being the Stars franchise. They didn't support that team and shit on the owner who had to leave to Shangri-la, AKA Dallas. So yeah pathetic they're trying to grab it back from a franchise that still exists and is thriving.

Anyone else getting excited about playoffs? So excited, that you feel you need to temper expectations?

Expect the worst, hope for the best

Expect the worst, hope for the best

That would probably be best for my mental health, but I can’t do it this year

The way I think about it is that there's nothing we can do as fans to change the outcome, so just enjoy the ride and pray for the Cup. It's tough to do sometimes since we're all so emotionally invested in the team though. Makes a championship that much sweeter if it happens

Man that playoff "race" in the East for the last two spots ( 2nd Wildcard and 3rd Metro division ) is the most pathetic thing i've seen in a while . All the teams in the running for the spots are on a losing streak. All of them. Like what the f***.

Yeah, finishing top in the East is truly meaningful because it's essentially a free pass to the second round.

If the rangers get the 1 seed in the East it's a huge advantage for them and Carolina in round 1

The likely metro bracket could be

Rangers vs Wild Card (currently Philly but who knows by end of game 82)
Hurricanes vs Washington

Compare that to the Atlantic bracket which looks a tough out!

Bruins vs Tampa
Florida vs Toronto

Seems very imbalanced the first round out East.

That's losses to Montreal & Columbus in the last 4 games for Colorado. They've now lost 3 of their last 4. Cold streaks always seem to follow hot streaks, hopefully if we get a cold streak it's not right when the playoffs begin lol
