GDT: [Game #69] Dallas Stars vs. New York Islanders - 7:30 PM CT (BSSW)

everyone talks like a new coach is in the cards for us
i will believe in and be more comfortable when i see it

Chara is such a pylon out there. He gets away with constant hooks and slashes every shift. It's like the only way he can slow down the opposition is just latch on.

I think he has slowed down a lot in just a few years. Father time and all that.

Same. I'm mentally preparing for another Bowness extension.

 

[Satan]

lets go Otter

 

[MBTendy]

Jake <3

 

[JeffP]

Would it be more Stars-y to miss the playoffs from a position to get in
or extend Bowness after we squeak in?

I do enjoy some of our lineup and recognize where we never could have forecasted issues or our own luck
I hope Nill and/or Gaglardi is capable of making the call and changing our direction

 

[ugrakarma]

Oettinger being sneaky.

 

[JeffP]

ugh, that feels gross! but no penalty pls!

 

[ugrakarma]

Pavelski is cursed.

 

[Elysian]

Come on Pavs you HAVE to bury that

 

[Satan]

just win baby

 

[Kcb12345]

Pavelski trying to feed Hintz for that empty net for no reason at all lol

 

[JeffP]

Another solid win for Ricky Boners

 

[ugrakarma]

Two points but it shouldn't have been such a close game. Nitpicking perhaps.

 

[MBTendy]

Pavs should have shot that immediately lol.


But solid win against a good team. Just win baby

 

[The Tourist]

Pavelski was looking to pass the whole way until he finally just ran out of room. Should have shot it earlier. Oh well.

Great third period from Oetter to redeem himself after some shaky play lately.

I feel like they would lose a lot of fans next season if they keep him. The guy gets booed during the starting line up for f***s sake.

Oetter was good the whole game. The two goals against were breakaways and perfect shots, basically Islanders' best two shots of the game.

 

[The Tourist]

I know all fans are whiny and biased but the Islander fans on their board seriously think Oettinger knocked the goal off on purpose. Can you be anymore clueless?

Stars haven't won a game by 2 or more non-empty net goals since February 27th vs Buffalo...11 wins in that span too. They like it stressful I guess

Hell we can go back to after January 30th 6-1 win vs Boston. 17 wins, 15 of which were by just 1 goal (excluding empty netters)

They have got to lead the league in one goal game wins (especially if excluding empty netters)

theres really no way to prove or disprove since it wasnt necessarily egregious enough, so a call against it would have been overstepping things.
did it change the outcome of the game? hardly. NYI had some chances there.

yaint goin to the playoffs islanders, better luck next year.

 

[LT]

Honestly I think Bowness doesn't trust Klingberg's defense, so thinks he needs help. It shouldn't be Suter though.

If only we had a young, speedy defender good on entries and transitions who can also contribute offensively.

 

[starsfan86]

i sure hope you’re right

Me too lol

 

[LT]

The net wasn't moored in properly or had already been knocked off. Oettinger was just the one to move it, which was going to happen soon anyway.
