IX. Texas Stars (AHL) Discussion

[Ambassador Of Fun]

We have looked dominant all 8 or 9 periods I have watched of this series. This is the first one where MacIntyre didn't stand on his head.

 

[Elysian]

Did I just hear a "USA" chant?

 

[Dr Pepper]

I hear him, but I can't see him.

Is Glass Banging Guy in attendance?

 

[Stars99Lobo37]

Powerplay Toronto.

 

[Stars99Lobo37]

No nevermind....powerplay Texas?

 

[Hull Fan]

wait what? this is not a veteran team. wth?

 

[Stars99Lobo37]

McLaren sent packing.

 

[Stars99Lobo37]

wait what? this is not a veteran team. wth?

I don't get why everyone keeps saying that. We're no more veteran than Toronto or Grand Rapids. If anything, we're younger.

 

[Pohlow]

81% stat mentioned again.

What is the 81% stat?

 

[BigG44]

Found this from the Edmonton Oilers SB Nation page on the 2009 draft:

Justin Dowling is another player that Remmerde admits he has higher than the consensus; his best guess is that Dowling will go somewhere between rounds 5 and 7. His draft report is virtually identical to Vey's; he's a little smaller, shifty but not overly fast, and has that trade-off of good hockey sense and offensive ability but a marginal physical game.

 

[Stars99Lobo37]

What is the 81% stat?

81% of teams that win Game 5, win the series.

 

[Stars99Lobo37]

What are we waiting for?

 

[Dr Pepper]

Marlies coach whining about someone in the crowd I think.

 

[Stars99Lobo37]

Fans getting tossed?

 

[Stars90]

What is the 81% stat?

Apparently 81% of teams that win game 5 in the AHL win the series. I believe I saw that on twitter.

 

[Bluesoma]

I didn't hear an USA chant. Did hear we want the cup.

 

[Stars99Lobo37]

Beauty.

 

[Dr Pepper]

Maybe he tossed a beer, who knows.

Maybe he called them a bad name.

Marlies announcers ripping on the Texas fans now.

 

[Stars99Lobo37]

Less than a minute remaining!

 

[Primetimey*]

"Toronto try to end this with class"

As they take a stupid penalty and get ejected with 1:30 left. HAHA

 

[Stars99Lobo37]

Mac makes the save on the 50th shot of the night.

 

[piqued]

Oh man... Faksa should've converted there. Would've been a nice reply to Spott.

 

[Stars99Lobo37]

Just running it out.

 

[Stars99Lobo37]

GAME OVER!

Western Conference Champions!!!

 

[Dr Pepper]

Brennan with the shot at the horn.
