At least the sun is shining outside.

I thought that was time zone sarcasm until I see you’re in Finland.
These late games are annoying from CST.

It gets weird in the spring. Game start 05:30 and sunrise 05:52.

Stars have given up 15 goals in 3 games against the Canucks this season btw. No surprise they're about to go 0-3-0 against them

 

[JeffP]

We’re not a scoring team, are we a defense-first team?
Each new embarrassing loss reminds me to look forward to a new coach in the offseason.

 

[ugrakarma]

Scary thought is if this is the best the team can actually do and Bowness has maxed it.

 

[The Tourist]

Hakanpaa knows we are losing right?

 

[JeffP]

okay, that convinced me to shut it offfff

 

[Rory]

Hakanpaa knows we are losing right?

He too has had enough of this game.

 

[starsfan86]

Let’s tie it up on the boards and waste more time. Goodnight y’all

 

[ugrakarma]

After 2 - 5 it's been just about killing the clock.

 

[The Tourist]

I really want Faksa to finish with more TOI than Hintz. It would be such a Bowness move.

I can see Bowness logic on that. This team let in 5 goals so more defense is needed which means the Faksa line.

 

[Kcb12345]

So what I'm seeing here is you can turtle without giving up a million shots and scoring chances

Stars have given up as well.

 

[Kcb12345]

Even down 5-2 the Stars won't even attempt Heiskanen-Klingberg.

They truly aren't doing everything they can to try and climb back in the game if they don't attempt that. I've just never seen a team give up cause it's a 3 goal lead. They had 16 minutes to try and get back in it

 

[Linus Bryksa]

Golden opportunity to get ahead of Nashville but shitty goaltending and not much effort from most - game in Edmonton now means something but don’t see that working out in the Stars favour.

 

[ugrakarma]

Klingberg isn't much of a goaltender.

 

[Troy McClure]

Best part of this third period was watching the woman behind Bowness get shocked at her masssive tab.

 

[Kcb12345]

Wait they pulled the goalie so they actually were trying to come back in that game?

Wow that makes the performance even more sad. I genuinely thought they were just cruising to the end based on their play.

 

[ugrakarma]

Positive side is that it's over?

 

[Linus Bryksa]

Apparently this guy has some potential to take Radulov’s spot-really should give him a look!

 

[notwolfy]

Nope. You must demand that Adam Scheel gets a chance now

Hey they let you post on this board so why not. He knows more about hockey than you do genius. Sieve goalies so Stars can’t give somebody else a game to see what he could do.

Maybe they should let you play

I hear you, but if thats another team mushing Hintz into the boards, I think I’d prefer some sort of a response out of our team.
I know there are rarely big hits that dont end up with fights these days. :\

I don't understand the "these days" comment, when did big hits not turn into fights? I've been watching hockey since the 80s, and it has always been this way. Actually, it used to be even more pugilistic - regular hits would more often turn into fights, and big hits would commonly turn into line brawls.

A guy like Oleksiak would be nice to have.

Only if he would've signed cheaper. $4.6 x 5 years with an NTC is too much for him.

There are at least 10 cans visible at one point. I'm not sure how she spent much time in her seat without a diaper.
