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.

★★★★★ GO STARS GO ★★★★★

 

[Elysian]

Tank?

 

[Stars99Lobo37]

I'm ridiculously nervous for this game already.

 

[oconnor9sean]

Go Stars and Go 'Lumbus!

 

[Bkennedy*]

It's kinda a big one right guys?

 

[oconnor9sean]

Satan, where is the "Stars must-win meter"?

 

[Cin]

Tank.

Goligoski is the greatest player to EVER lace up a pair of skates in the NHL.

Jordie Benn is cooler than your mom.

Two greatest players ever on our team? We are lucky as ****. Sooo good. So hockey. So Stars.

Lose horribly.

 

[Starsfan24]

Might wanna win this one boys.

 

[Stars99Lobo37]

Might wanna win this one boys.

Meeeeeehhhhhhhhh

 

[DallasFan]

Today we can eliminate the Nashville for PO race and provide a more comfortable before confrontation with the Yotes. It really can succeed... soooo I've heard it all before

GO STARS!!!

 

[Loui21Eriksson]

Just randomly found this commercial last week... had a good laugh at the end!

REOW!

 

[Dr Pepper]

By tomorrow night, we could be 5 points up on Phoenix.

To achieve this, three things need to happen.

Three tiny little things.

Piece of cake.

Go STARS!!!

 

[Zrhutch]

A win combined with another win by our friends the hungry hungry BJs would put the magic number at 3. It's happening

 

[ElGuapo]

We suck! We suck! We're gonna ****ing lose this *****!

 

[Klockis]

Nashville games seems to be a battle between Stars offense (Bennguin mostly) and Nashville's defense (oh hai, Weber). If Lehtonen/Thomas can play better than Rinne (who has Pavelec like stats) we should win this one.

Tank please.

 

[BMC]

I'm ridiculously nervous for this game already.

Relax. You got this.

*Throws frozen puck @ the Stars*

 

[MBTendy]

So nervous... Really hope the boys come out hard and get 2 points.

 

[Primetimey*]

First must win of the season.

 

[Elysian]

First must win of the season.

Seems like someone says this every thread now

 

[Satan]

The Florida game was a must win

This one is a must win while in quicksand

 

[Primetimey*]

Seems like someone says this every thread now

First time I've said it, because it is true. Five games ago weren't "must wins".

 

[Frozen Failure]

Every game is a must win for this franchise.

 

[starshockeyfan56]

Oh god, win please

 

[Cashville]

I think we'd need a simultaneous solar and lunar eclipse with Haley's Comet cruising by and a few blood sacrifices to make the playoffs at this point. If we're not going to make it, I hope you guys do over PHX; good luck.
