Any win is just costing us a percentage in the McDavid sweepstakes at this point.
BennFan is really Ryan Garbutt.
Benn-Eakin-Segs
Mckenzie-Spezza-Cole
Rouss-Morin-Hemsky
Horcoff-Fids-Scevi
Am I the only one who really likes these lines?
Kari is a dirty, filthy stealer. Dallas had no business getting those two points. That was such an ugly win. Team tank took it in the shorts tonight.
I have no idea why Eakin got to be out there with Seguin/Benn. He's been terrible all season and again tonight. Did he get an official shot on goal? Because it seemed every shot he tried was drilled into the shin pads of a Vancouver player.
I think I like Hemsky and Roussel together. Who knows what's going to happen when Garbutt comes back.
No business? We dominated the entire 2nd period and about half of the 3rd. That's half the game.
Morry, sorry to belabor the point, but i really feel like you should watch these guys closer. The number of little plays both these guys made in this game just really renders your complaints as confusing to me at best.
Do you understand CORSI? You know who is first on this team? Travis Morin. Sceviour is 7th. These guys are reliable possession players who win 50-50 battles, sustain cycles and get pucks deep.
There have been a lot of 4th liners come through i would have gladly replaced with either of these players. Their games seem to me to be perfect for bottom 6 roles. Namely, play in the other team's end, get and keep pucks deep.
Corsi has no place being cited when reviewing 2 NHL games for a player. That being said, I've thought Morin has performed well and deserves to keep getting a look.
could it be possible that Kari is just finally healthy now?
Has there been any news on that?
I would assume the Stars dont want other teams to know about his health...they dont want other teams to take advantage.
Jesus the Dallas Stars essentially win a 1-0 game (big step) and you people are still *****ing.
Really enjoyed the effort last night. I thought the team was about as good as it can be after the 1st. Roussel/Hemsky definitely needs to be explored further. If we can salvage the Hemsky signing and keep Roussel focused on playing hockey that's a double bonus.

Sometimes I feel like most of you tunnel vision on mistakes of player's now because you're expecting them. Klingberg and Daley were the worst defenseman out there last night. Jokipakka made 2 mistakes that he really can't be making. Daley and Klingberg were doing that every other shift. Atleast Joki knows how to position himself and close the gaps on zone entries. Daley and Klingberg skate backwards until the back of their skates hit kari.
I liked Klingberg as much as everyone else when he first came up, but he's been pretty crap lately. Daley has been no better with his turnovers.
So seeing most of you put blame on guys loke Jokipakka and Goligoski makes me think we're lacking any experienced D-men ourself on these boards.
So your saying Jordie is the key to success? We get a shutout and it's the first time we aren't mentioning him as one of the worst in a game.
Klingberg did have a tough game and one of if not his worst last night, but he has been nowhere near crap. Jokipakka was worse last night and has been worse than Klingberg in every game he has played. Young guys make dumb plays and young guys make mistakes, both did last night but I think your being over critical of Klingberg based on what's he capable of.
I agree about Daley and there is no excuse for him to keep sucking in his own zone but Goligoski was traded for to be "the guy" for us and he just hasn't been. He's been awful at times this year but usually just plain average. That's gonna get you ragged on considering what was given up.
The thing is when Daley is poor in his own zone he still can score goals and be a threat offensively. Klingberg has the best passes out of any of the d and puts himself in scoring positions. Jokipakka doesn't so it's harder to overlook when he brain farts, fair or not.
