GDT: Game #38: @ San Jose, April 7th, 3:00 PM

[aloonda*]

Loui was due. No quit in this team.

that's what needs to be built
talent level, if evaluated right in the first place can fill in as needed
but no quit and sense of urgency at all times is the thing that is needed--playoff hockey year round is how you win

 

[cuspoferuption]

As much as I would love a top 5 pick, it's nice to see a Stars team that has some speed and fight in it. Hopefully with a decent coach and an improved defence next year we'll finally see some playoffs.

 

[LT]

Goligoski is #3 on the team in points.

Does that include assists on other teams' goals?

 

[Bkennedy*]

Did the team get better after the sell off?

Yes and no. Benn is better without jagr. Wed be much better with jagr somewhere else.

 

[oconnor9sean]

OK, im torn. At what point do we start again rooting for Stars wins? We're tied for 10th if we win tonight.

 

[Sports]

Classic Gogo.

 

[Cin]

This team isn't making the playoffs.

 

[ReverendAlBundy]

Top 5 pick > first round playoff exit

 

[piqued]

Couture had nowhere to go there.

no one that i know of is hoping for a tank in the effort category. merely hoping to get a chance to add a special, hard working talent high in the draft where we don't usually pick.

 

[Troy McClure]

Cheer for the win. This team isn't bad enough to get a top pick.

 

[Bjorn Le]

OK, im torn. At what point do we start again rooting for Stars wins? We're tied for 10th if we win tonight.

Never.

At least not this season.

We're going to finish 9th again aren't we?

 

[oconnor9sean]

This team isn't making the playoffs.

Then for crying out loud, let's lose.

 

[aloonda*]

Does that include assists on other teams' goals?

ok, there is some truth here

 

[bhetz23]

Top 5 pick > first round playoff exit

As much as I miss springtime hockey, this is true.

 

[Cin]

I'm all right with getting Monahan, but anything less would seriously blow for this season.

 

[piqued]

Chiasson taking an important defensive zone faceoff. Didn't win it, but still.

 

[Bkennedy*]

I can't actively root for a tank, regardless. I want it. But when we score I still jump for joy.

 

[Troy McClure]

Then for crying out loud, let's lose.

They would need to lose every remaining game to squeeze into a top three pick. That's not happening. They need to be close to that bad to drop to a top five pick. That's probably also not happening.

 

[BRoni]

Same here. We have no control anyway. Just enjoy it for what it is.

 

[aloonda*]

then for crying out loud---keep playing your guts out

 

[Sports]

I remember hearing a story about some team in the running for the top pick.
Last game of the season, some young call-up comes in and stands on his head and wins the game for them, giving another team the top pick.
The team who won ended up drafting some bust, while the top pick ended up being someone really good.
Does anyone know what draft that was?
I was thinking when Chicago drafted Cam, but they lost their last game that season.

Robidas and his shinpad-seeking missiles.
