Dallas is 14-1-1 in their last 16

[oconnor9sean]

The Stars started 1-7-1 and now are finally looking like the team that pundits thought they could be in the preseason.

Miro Heiskanen and the depth scoring have carried the team thus far, and now Benn and Seguin have gotten into their grooves over the last 3-4 games.

Their PP is the only thing holding them back from being elite at the moment.

He stood out like a sore thumb. Dominant physical play & confident on the puck. It’s what made Benn, Benn.

 

[aufheben]

That's some ridiculous defense.

 

[Tralfamadore]

Never counted them out.

 

[Devonator]

Very impressive...one of the hottest teams going right now!

 

[serp]

Defense was good even when they sucked . Now they're also scoring goals . The whole team looks good now . Every single line looks decent .

Perry having 4 points is sad to see. Was a 50 goal scorer and 2nd best player on ducks for some time.

I see what you did there

Nobody scores at their usual clip on Dallas. It’s just the way it is. Jim Montgomery’s system, the last few games be damned, doesn’t lead to scoring a lot of goals.

He's still pretty good in a depth role. His skating is really bad now for anything more.

Miro Heiskanen is playing like Niklas Lidström

It’s an unfair comprison, because Lidstrom is the GOAT, but Miro’s play style is so reminiscent of his. Dominant in all three zones. He doesn’t have a weakness.

Yeah he is a GOAT but still Miro is playing like him at the moment

Here to burn down your village baby.

I mean 3 of those 4 points are in 1 game. I was hoping that we'd see a 0.5 ppg Corey Perry with 40/82

He also got 2 points tonight so he's now at 6 points . 3 goals 3 assists. Like i said . He's good as a depth scorer next to some speedy guys who can bail him out when his skating problems become an issue.

Around the net he's still very much a good player.

Yeah I like what Perry brings. A better version of last years Spezza that brings more to the table. It's no coincidence the team started winning more as soon as he entered the lineup

 

[Magic Mittens]

They’ve been so good lately and it’s crazy they’re missing Hintz and Klingberg

 

[Pizza!Pizza!]

Dowling saved the franchise. My vote for the Hart this year.

 

[Mulletman]

Dallas should enjoy it while it lasts, because they'll be playing Patrick Laine next.
