GDT: CDF #7 Dallas Stars at St. Louis Blues ★ 7:00 PM CST ★ NBCSN, CBC, TVAS ★

[Magic Mittens]

Good run, overtime could have went either way.

I'm happy with how they did, sure I wanted them to go on, but they took out Nashville and almost STL

Guys like Hintz, Dickinson and Heiskanen played good and can hopefully keep it going next year

I'm excited to see what the offseason brings, we got cap space and I think we'll see guys like Ritchie, Nuke, Honka, and Spezza gone.

It was fun buddy. Know we **** talked back and forth but it’s never personal.

Well with you it always was

 

[SonicSpeedDash]

So biggest question. How many years til we go back into the playoffs?

 

[AveryStar4Eva]

Hey guys, just wanted to post here and thank you guys for a fun series. We may have had our fair share of dust ups, but y’all are great fans and I wish you the best

Great series I hate you guys even more now! Which I guess is a complement in hockey talk. You guys have a good shot to go all the way this year.

Yeah I thought either of us would be the one out of the west. Definitely a sign of respect to be hated!

What can we get for Jaime Benn in a trade. I will take a bag of trash if need be. His contract is too high for a player that does not show up. He was trash.

 

[eartotheground]

Wonder what our PP would have been like.

 

[Kcb12345]

Our 4th line should have been Janmark-Dowling-Pitlick in these playoffs honestly. You just can't have an entire line that you don't trust at all.

Ritchie with 7:52 TOI tonight.
Spezza with 8:28 TOI.

In a double OT game that's just unacceptable. They shouldn't be playing.

I mean at the very least Janmark and Pitlick can bring speed. Not the reason we lost the game, but it definitely would've helped rest the big guys a bit and made us faster and given us another line that's not a complete liability.

 

[One Winged Angel]

I don't know. I think tonight it was a tactical thing. Game 7 on the road, conserve energy when you can, weather the storm, come at them when they show the first signs of fatigue. The Blues had a very strong will tonight and kept their game strong for a lot longer than the Stars anticipated.

I would agree if they showed up at all in regulation. Weathering the first 5-10 minutes of the game is fine, rope-a-dope that if you have to, but they didn’t show up until OT. Literally dominated for about 58-59 minutes in regulation. I’ve never seen that before in a playoff game. It’s frightening.

 

[Machinehead]

I'm really sorry guys.

You've all been wonderful and it was an absolute pleasure joining you for this run. Thank you for the way you've welcomed Zuccarello. Couldn't have asked for him to go anywhere better.

@LatvianTwist thanks again, man!

 

[Pizza!Pizza!]

Sorry Jamie Benn sucks, but look on the bright side - when is the last time the Stars had a disappointing end of the season where these threads weren't bitching about the goaltending?

A couple of trades/signings this off-season and Dallas has a bright couple years ahead.

I mean two of those players are injured and had been for most of the playoffs. So it couldn't be . Both took warmups and weren't a go .

@LatvianTwist thanks again, man!

What if Zuccarello becomes a member of the Islanders next season, I'm sure you'd like that

This is why you're not allowed to play with the other children.

 

[hairylikebear]

If I've learned one thing this decade it's that Roope Hintz is a grown ass man.

 

[mc3488]

I miss Roussel

 

[i aint Dunn yet]

hell of a series dallas .. you guys have a gem in roope hintz that kid is impressive

 

[amoboko]

Epic game, Bishop, I mean Bishop wow, respect.
Pity it has to stop here, but what a series. Kuddos

 

[ugrakarma]

So long and thanks for all the fish.

 

[Dump Itch]

Blow up the team.

I suggested we trade him a year and a half ago? but nobody seem to like that idea. We always seem to hang on to guys longer than we should.

The guy has a full NMC . He's not getting traded unless he wants to be . Not to mention when was the last time someone with a NMC got anything of real value back ?

The value is getting out of the contract before he goes full Lucic.
Columbus is about to lose 3 of their best players maybe they'd have interest in him, though who knows if he'd have interest in going there

Dissapointing result, but Blues deserved the win. I enjoyed playoff hockey, especially when it looked like we weren't even going to make it to playoffs in the first place, to jump on the "Trade the whole team and fire everyone" train, especially when we don't know who was playing injured.

Congratulations to Blues, I'm still proud of the team and excited for hockey next season.
