GDT: [Game #68] Dallas Stars @ Vancouver Canucks - 9:00 PM CT (BSSW)

[MrHeiskanen]

Still surprised we didn't acquire a better #3 goalie. Murray & Scheel ain't it.

They keep bringing in these College guys but I think we are better off drafting a young kid and signing an old vet like we used to do.

 

[Zapp]

this was to be expected tho. If you’re gonna lose a game on this trip, this was the one.

.714 save percentage. Elite

Murray has shit numbers but all of the goals have been defensive breakdowns. I'm not saying he looks good but none of the goals have been on him. Can't constantly allow passes through the middle.

Right but out of the 4.. you gotta stop 1.. IMO

The goals aren't on him, but he certainly hasn't bailed them out on anything either

 

[TangoMcBride]

Stars look so disinterested in playing this game. They almost appear like they believe have a very little chance of winning this game and are okay with losing.

This

This

The 1st line especially. They are completely MIA.

I agree there. He's making all the routine saves but Oettinger covers up a lot of warts this defensive group has. Dallas has two top four defenders on the roster.

Shit game. Benn, Wyatt, and Miro are about the only three who have looked good.

2nd post. There you go. Murray bailed out the poor defensive coverage. lol

3rd post. If the West wasn't so tight and Dallas was healthy, this is the perfect game to rest Pavelski who has looked like shit.

I hate how all my posts get combined when I post consecutively. Sorry for being a post whore tonight.

 

[Spotty 2 Hotty]

Pavelski needs a few nights off, holy shit, he's been bad.

Robertson lately is one of those players who either shows up a lot on the scoresheet or is invisible and nothing in between.

 

[JeffP]

Yea, this game had bad combo written all over it before it started
we look tired and not good and Murray isn’t helping

god damn these mf dumbassed foxtrax

 

[Kcb12345]

Damn this is nearly unwatchable

 

[The Tourist]

Swap Domi and Pavelski the rest of the night.

At least this loss will get Nils back.

 

[TangoMcBride]

In tough games, on back to backs during extended road trips, you need your best players to be your best players. They simply weren't tonight. I'm not saying that that's easy and should be expected but that is what is required in a game like this. If you don't get that you get an L like we saw tonight.

 

[Kcb12345]

Top line barely even skating tonight

Yeah think I'm gonna give up on this one too. Hopefully they come out much better against the Oilers on Thursday

 

[Spotty 2 Hotty]

Top line barely even skating tonight

What do you mean, Benn, Johnston, and Dadonov have been playing great tonight.

 

[ugrakarma]

Nice save from Murray.

 

[redbeardtx]

Classic Miller right there

 

[TangoMcBride]

Miller doing a whole lot of nothing there. Like, why would you not just intercept the pass instead of turning your back to the play and trying to lift the dudes stick? I don't understand the thought process there.

He managed to not take the pass or the shot. Just kinda flailed around

EN goal incoming

 

[TangoMcBride]

Effort is simply not there.

 

[ugrakarma]

Dagger.

 

[redbeardtx]

I take that back, 5v5 goal against incoming

 

[The Tourist]

That will do it. Keep everyone important on the bench these final 3 minutes.

g'night

 

[redbeardtx]

That was Buffalo level defending on that one
