Would argue this is a bit of a must-win.

 

[Satan]

we are never scared

 

[Mr Misty]

Would argue this is a bit of a must-win.

It is or it isn't, no "a bit."

If the performance improves, I'm not worried about another loss.

Antti Niemi is first off the ice and looks like your starter for Game 4.

Optional for Stars, but most are skating. Jamie Benn and Kris Russell both on the ice.

Niemi is in? lets ****ing gooooo win this ****

 

[Loui21Eriksson]

Would argue this is a bit of a must-win.

For Minnesota, not for us.

 

[serp]

I somewhat expected Niemi today. If wanna run 2 goalies you gotta make a change when you have the opportunity to do so. Kari wasn't bad but the defense could use a little bit of a bigger wakeup call.

 

[LT]

Hmm... Wonder if they'll swap off every time we lose, barring the offense drying up and it being a 0-1 or 1-2 type game.

Will be interesting to see.

 

[Indianation65]

As to Coach Ruff's sentiments on the radio yesterday, "After the 2 goals, we went into prevent defense. We weren't aggressive."

Yes, that's what happened, so let's be the aggressive, offensive monster that Dallas can be, and that Dallas is! Score, shoot, score, shoot, score, shoot some more!

 

[Satan]

need to ****ing win this one

 

[LT]

Shaky start for Niemi.

 

[LT]

Mile offside.

 

[LT]

"Game's constipated"

 

[LT]

Goligoski takes a hooking call.

Not a good start for us.

 

[LT]

We watch Pominville rip one, and no one even slightly moves his way. Feel like that shouldn't happen.

 

[LT]

Roussel and Porter exchanging pleasantries.

 

[Mr Misty]

Slow start, looks like last game unfortunately

 

[phil7488]

Glad to see we came ready to play

 

[Satan]

Look flat

 

[phil7488]

Do they even want it? I seriously question it.

 

[Satan]

Why didn't Klingberg move the puck over to Goligoski there at least ONCE

 

[mc3488]

eakin and nuke in the top six is LOL
