GDT: [Game #7] Dallas Stars vs. Vegas Golden Knights - 7:30 PM CT (BS-SW)

[Spotty 2 Hotty]

Klingberg and Khudobin combining to lose that in OT. Gotta love it.

 

[mc3488]

What the f***

 

[serp]

Why did the just leave Klingberg alone against two there ? Where where the other two skaters ?

 

[Nikki Potnick]

Good game.

 

[Troy McClure]

Interesting that they played the top 2 D pairings as a 1A-1B type situation by the ice time split. Miro must be getting bored spending that amount of time on the bench.

With only two penalties in the game, there weren’t a lot of PP chances for Miro and Klingberg to pile up the minutes.

 

[starsfan86]

Good. Keep losing. Can’t wait to see nill and Bowness gone

 

[MrHeiskanen]

FFS Klingberg.

What's his option? Seguin is jerking off at center ice and Radulov is jerking off on the other side of the zone.

 

[The Tourist]

lmao

Why did Radulov leave Klingberg?

 

[Kipper 17]

How the f*** did they manage to lose that? Best effort of the year against a banged up team playing their back up goalie. Just wow

 

[Kcb12345]

What's his option? Seguin is jerking off at center ice and Radulov is jerking off on the other side of the zone.

Ideally he doesn't turn into the pressure and instead throws the puck around the boards for the easy 2 on 1

But still, as soon as I saw Klingberg get double teamed I knew this game was over

 

[Captain Awesome]

FFS Klingberg.

That one isn't on him, whoever was supposed to cover Dadonov was nowhere to be seen.

 

[Troy McClure]

Seguin went to center ice and Radulov went to the far wall.

Literally the only time tonight a Stars defenseman DIDN'T just try to throw the puck up the boards.

 

[The Tourist]

Played a decent 40 minutes and then decided to pack it up for the night. Team deserved to lose after sitting back in the 3rd.

 

[MrHeiskanen]

He didn't throw it around the boards because he thought it was going to get cut off.

 

[Dynamite Time]

Stars finally play a good offensive game with fight only to blow the lead late and then lose in OT. I guess they got a loser point.

Saw my bad dream for the night, off to sleep.

 

[starsfan86]

Hey Gurianov had a nice goal in ot last home game. But let’s put Benn and Seguin out there who have done jackshit

 

[JeffP]

trying to cheat up the ice, a sad and unsurprising loss
but like he said, the sooner we get some front office turnover, the better

wouldn’t Jeff Gorton be a decent snag even though everyone forecasts him in Chicago?

 

[Troy McClure]

He didn't throw it around the boards because he thought it was going to get cut off.

And Radulov has to ask for it there if that’s what he wants. Not sure if they did communicate.

 

[Spotty 2 Hotty]

Cogliano would've stayed in the zone with Klingberg.....

 

[redbeardtx]

That shit was on Radulov at the end there, just left Klingberg alone to deal with 2 forwards and left his man all alone in front of the net. Then coasted back to watch Dadanov score

 

[JeffP]

almost .500 hockey, but not quite

 

[starsfan86]

Should have never even went to OT if they didn’t take their foot off the gas in the third.

 

[Rory]

Getting tired of razor saying the other teams goalie is playing a great game. It seems every game he says that. Maybe…just maybe this team sucks at shooting a puck. Some good saves for sure but a back up goalie is not this good. The offense is trash and the system they play in is why.

 

[Rory]

That is the Bones system. Defense always. Have a lead and sit back.

I don't think there's any possibility where Bowness is gone before Nill. You could try and fire Bowness, hire a coach, and then fire Nill at a later date, but unless you offer a contract that only goes until the end of the season it really handcuffs whoever the new GM coming in is. It also makes Dallas a less attractive place for a new hire since they can't choose a coaching staff, which is probably the first big decision any GM is allowed to make. It's certainly not unheard of, but it would be unusual to fire Bowness, hire an interim guy, and then probably see him walk because a GM has a different idea in mind.

I'm on this train, but I don't see it leaving the station until the season is close to over, or possibly right before the trade deadline if they want someone to come in and get used to the situation before the draft and to deal with UFA signings.
