Go watch the Dallas game. This is just brutal. They look dead, apathetic, and slow.

So with a defense this bad, pulling the goalie is probably a bad idea. Especially if Fortunus is your back man.
You should be able to predict what I say next. LE scores an empty netter.
And now a really weird scrum. That was strange. Stransky took a large hit on the boards. Stransky gives a small hit while getting up. A couple of seconds another LE guy goes up to Stransky and throws a weak elbow. Gaunce comes in and the LE guy just swings at Gaunce. Doesn't even drop glvoes just starts throwing punches. That was......weird.

It was worse. At least the Dallas game was competitive and they got a point. Texas looked......bad, just really really bad.
Honka did not have a good game at all, pinching at the wrong times or being out of position or just not able to keep up.
Klingberg wasn't too bad.
The defensive vets were just...****. Bad passing, bad decision making, just plain bad.
Offense was a bit better but not by much. Too many no look passes to nowhere. Not able to keep on the puck. Best two lines were probably Dowling's and Smith's. Morin's line looked anemic at times with Nuke still being cautious with his injury. Faksa's line was weighed down by Glennie while Rallo was meh.
Rynnas got lit up quickly. Not entirely his fault but he can't go unblamed either. He made some significant saves and then gave up some soft ones.
Jack looked better this time around but he did have the help of a time that was playing marginally better. He's still putting himself out of positions at times and scrambling quite a bit.
Right now I have confidence that they can figure something out. IT's only like 8 games in. But that confidence is pretty shaky at the moment :/

Ok, I think I finally see lines, Hopefully they don't score again while I type this out.
McKenzie-Morin-Nuke
Ranford-Faksa-Ritchie
Henderson-Peters-Glennie
Hulak-Smith-Rallo (oops not Stransky)
D pairs may be changed up too.
Texas on a power player, they need to do something here.

That was such a great sequence, and you're right the no goal was just as impressive. He looks so good offensively. That assist to set up the OT winner on Wednesday was a great example of his hockey sense as well.
This guy is NHL ready for the offensive zone. Dallas' 2nd PP needs this guy, but he's got some work to do in the defensive zone before he's ready. I think they'll rush him a bit though because of his right shot. Wouldn't surprise me at least. If you could give Klingberg Jokipakka's defensive zone play ....

At this point if any of these guys could have Jokipakka's defenzive zone play.....*sigh*
Yeah Klingberg is ready offensively for the NHL, hopefully they don't rush him too quickly or he'll be another Goligoski.

LE scores again as Honka tries to pass it out of the zone and the puck goes straight to the stick of the forechecker leading to a good minute of scrambling by the Stars and then a delayed penalty. Klingberg loses his stick and LE gets a crosspass score on Campbell who couldn't do a damn thing and actually kept Stars in it.
Maggio and Wrenn drop gloves. Maggio has been wanting to do something all game.
