Tiebreakers - From NHL.com
1. The fewer number of games played (i.e., superior points percentage).
2. The greater number of games won, excluding games won in the shootout.
3. The greater number of points earned in games between the tied clubs. If two clubs are tied, and have not played an equal number of home games against each other, points earned in the first game played in the city that had the extra game shall not be included. If more than two clubs are tied, the higher percentage of available points earned in games among those clubs, and not including any "odd" games, shall be used to determine the standing.
4. The greater differential between goals for and against for the entire regular season.

[NHL]536628[/NHL][NHL]544901[/NHL]

★★★★★ GO STARS GO ★★★★★

 

[Verbal Kint]

Teuvo Teräväinen will make his Blackhawks/NHL-debut so you can include that in their roster. Probably playing with Saad and Smith.

Go Stars!! Point would be great, 2 points amazing.

 

[Dr Pepper]

Keep on rollin', Dallas.

Leapfrog those desert dogs!

 

[aloonda*]

It would be so awesome if the rooster scored again there and we win. That bandwagon bunch of fans would hate him even more.

 

[Brand New Stars]

I never have much hope against Chicago. At least Kane can't tear them apart. I'll be in Austin catching a concert though so hopefully I check the score and at least see that it went to OT.

 

[starshockeyfan56]

If they play like they did last night they will get destroyed. Here's hoping for a better game and at least a point.

 

[Satan]

Chicago ****ing sucks. If we dont lose tonight then we dont deserve Aaron Ekblad

 

[piqued]

This should be a Thomas start.

 

[Stars99Lobo37]

This should be a Thomas start.

No morning skate for the Stars, so no real clue until tonight. Would agree that Timmy should start, but wouldn't be shocked to see them go with Kari after last night.

 

[Bkennedy*]

After what Kari has shown lately vs what Thomas has, I'd be fine with a Kari start.


Not expecting much tonight, back to back + @ Chicago obviously makes for a very difficult game. But it definitely would be beyond huge to steal a point or two tonight, considering I think Phoenix is in the same boat.

 

[Hull Fan]

Someone tell me Connauton is back in tonight. Rome trying to skate against this Chicago team is a turnover/breakaway waiting to happen.

 

[Stars99Lobo37]

Rome trying to skate against this Chicago team is a turnover/breakaway waiting to happen.

 

[DaStars99]

Tough game, do it

 

[Cin]

Tank so hard tonight.

Will be at the Texas game tonight, so I'll stick to twitter for updates.

 

[BMC]

*Throws frozen puck @ the Stars*


Please beat these guys up- we get them Thursday!

 

[Stars99Lobo37]

*Throws frozen puck @ the Stars*

Please beat these guys up

That's about as likely as Dallas winning the Cup this year.

 

[marquee]

this board kills me lol

 

[Elysian]

*Throws frozen puck @ the Stars*


Please beat these guys up- we get them Thursday!

11-8-4 this season when you throw your puck

[Klockis]

11-8-4 this season when you throw your puck

So a losing record?

 

[Stars99Lobo37]

So a losing record?

 

[hisgirlfriday]

Who is the Stars goalie tonight?

 

[Stars99Lobo37]

Who is the Stars goalie tonight?

He'll be wearing a white jersey.

 

[Bkennedy*]

Who is the Stars goalie tonight?

No morning skate so I don't think even we know. Kari played last night, but has played really well lately. They may choose to rest him, or they may think he's had enough rest coming back from injury and ride the hot hand.
