GDT: Game #38 - 01.04.15 - at Chicago - 7:00 PM - NBCSN - 570 AM KLIF

[Primetimey*]

I never stayed around for a replay but what is with the Kari hate? Spezza let Sharp just drive to the net and get a shot away free in the slot..

 

[RefalancheStillLose]

60+ minutes and the Blackhawks didn't take a single damn penalty? Really? REALLY?

They did, just didn't get called

 

[Scorponox]

Come on Kari. These saves hVe to be made.

 

[Klockis]

Can I remind everyone that Kari played a back-to-back? Yes he gave up a horrible goal but he gave us a solid performance for a tired goalie otherwise.

 

[Ogi1Kenobi]

The refs love the Blackhawks way too much.

Kari messed up tonight.

 

[SolidusAKA]

The value of a win on a b2b in Chicago would have been massive for this team's character. **** the refs, **** chicago, Kari be better.

 

[Dallasman]

Good play by Keith on that OT goal. Froze everyone on that OT winner.

Got the point we were wanting.

I'm ok with the result tonight as I didn't expect a point tonight.

Re-group for Tuesday.

 

[Noodletoro]

Sorry but blaming Lehtonen doesn't fly for me. He is playing two games back to back because Lindback sucks and Nill miscalculated by signing him. If the Stars had a real backup Lehtonen sits tonight.

 

[Stars99Lobo37]

2 games Chicago didn't have a single lead in against us that we still lost.

 

[Elysian]

Yeah I can't believe everyone blaming Kari.

 

[SonicSpeedDash]

Can't wait when the Cap ****s that Hawks team.

 

[dechire]

Lol y'all need to chill. Kari has been great lately and had a bad game on a back to back which is actually extremely common for goalies. He also wasn't even that bad. There were some ****** defensive breakdowns in that game.

 

[Morry83]

****

 

[Stars99Lobo37]

60+ minutes and the Blackhawks didn't take a single damn penalty? Really? REALLY?

The only penalty they've called on Chicago in any of the time we've been up there was with 1:31 left in the 3rd of the 6-2 loss.

Other than that, it's 7-0 Hawks.

 

[Stars99Lobo37]

Yeah I can't believe everyone blaming Kari.

Yea, that's not on Kari.

We played well enough to win tonight.

 

[FrailSwan]

The NHL successfully protects their jewel.

 

[StarsTx]

Can I remind everyone that Kari played a back-to-back? Yes he gave up a horrible goal but he gave us a solid performance for a tired goalie otherwise.

Kari blew another game by letting in a goal that junior goalies don't let score. He blew it again late, plain and simple and it's just more excuses for him.

 

[Elysian]

Yea, that's not on Kari.

We played well enough to win tonight.

Exactly. Was one of our best B2B games in years. Full 60+ minute effort.

Nah. Kari hasn't been great, just back to where he should be playing. It doesn't matter how good you play if those are the kinds of goals you'll allow in when the game is on the line like that. He's done it enough time to be noticeable. I don't think anyone needs to "chill" on Kari. He needs to show up when it counts. So far he hasn't done that once this year.

I don't wanna keep saying "that should never go in", when I watch Kari play.

We got 3 of 4 points of a B2B set, chill out.

 

[Noodletoro]

He was playing games back to back which wouldn't happen if the Stars could trust their backup goaltending. Soft goals like that are what happen when goaltenders are fatigued and its no coincidence it happened near the end of the game.

Why arent you whining about the terrible defensive play by Spezza who let his man go untouched to the net and score?

 

[Alistar]

The only penalty they've called on Chicago in any of the time we've been up there was with 1:31 left in the 3rd of the 6-2 loss.

Other than that, it's 7-0 Hawks.

The blackhawks broadcast actually mentioned late in the 3rd they played 3 or 4 seconds with an extra man before they realized and one of their guys jumped off. Penalties were only being called one way tonight.

I'm sorry, we can all agree that the backup goaltending has been horrendous but Kari has been one of the 3 or 4 worst starters in the league this year. You can't blame the defence anymore, it's been fine the last month. Lehtonen has not raised his game one iota in that time. He's still hovering just above a .900 save percentage on the season which is simply not acceptable for somebody being paid the money he is. It's been the difference in 5+ games already this year for the Stars, and if we miss the playoffs all the blame goes on him if it continues.

Thats ********.

 

[FrailSwan]

Some of yyou guys are ****ing insane for blaming the loss on Kari. How about blaming Daley for staring inside the net on the first goal (like he loves to do), or Spezza on the last. But yeah, **** Kari, right?
