GDT: PDSF Game 1 - 04.16.14 - at Anaheim - 9:00 PM - FS Southwest - 1310 AM/96.7 FM

Kari in the 3rd, minus the mishap behind net, needs to come from the start.

Not that it was his fault, but he saved a sure goal on Perry.

 

[Johno]

Goose with fumblebumble to break the scoring chances, multiple times...

Well overall decent showing in the first playoff game. Lots of momentum gained in the third period! Hope that carries over to game 2.

And seriously hoping that Dillon get the green light. Also would hurt to drop Whitney

But now, it 8:00AM and time to get even a bit of sleep! I thank thee

 

[Stars99Lobo37]

He was wide open. Should have buried it but then again should have Jamie in the second and Garbutt in the third. Too many what if's.

Yep.

Which is extremely encouraging to me.

Dallas more than had their chances, and anyone who watched this game should know Dallas carried the play for most of the night.

 

[Alistar]

man the Ducks got two breaks in that last minute when the Stars had the goalie pulled and possession of the puck...

 

[TrillMike]

Nice finish. Benn and Segs looked great. I thought Val had some nice plays-- looked confident (other than that last dump in).

**** Rome. So done with his **** play. Can't wait until his ass is gone.

 

[starshockeyfan56]

Great building block for game 2, and hopefully a nice realization for the playoff noobs that they can compete and deserve to be there.

As long as they can start the way they finished this one on Friday, I like our chances for a split (and yes, Dillon please).

 

[MetalGodAOD*]

I'm confident we can take Game 2. The first 20 minutes lost the game for us. Jitters, nerves, whatever, they overcame it and played pretty even with Anaheim the rest of the game.

 

[piqued]

I just can't have any confidence in this defense. You've got a geriatric, an AHLer, a rookie not even in double digit games played, undrafted untested Jordie, Alex Goligoski (no comment) and Daley. You might be able to stumble through the regular season with that but come playoff time... please.

Imagine what Seguin and Benn could do with a regular defense behind them.

 

[Satan]

We either win the next two or get swept.

Something Big44 noticed:

J Fishpaw ‏@FishpawWriting 3m

Aaron Rome played 9 minutes ... no forward played less than 10 minutes. He was on for 2 goals against.

No way he's in for Game 2... right?

 

[KingPuckChoo]

great game Dallas !! Hard not to root for you guys !!

 

[KiedisA]

With Dillon we have another gear, they don't..

Eakin, Roussel, Cole were all awful tonight and specially Gonch-Rome were a disaster.. Annoying but I'm sure Ruff co. will sort this out.

 

[Satan]

He should be sent to the ECHL

 

[Stars99Lobo37]

Imagine what Seguin and Benn could do with a regular defense behind them.

Wait a couple years and you'll see.

 

[Cin]

Curtis McKenzie would frustrate the **** out of the Ducks defense.

 

[Caseman]

I want to rescind every good word I put in for Rome. Let that be his last game in victory green.

 

[Brand New Stars]

We either win the next two or get swept.

No way Dallas just wins Game 2?

 

[joelnmich]

We're griping about a playoff game.

After how many years?

I'll take it.

 

[Bkennedy*]

I couldn't tell from where I was and obviously don't have the benefit of announcers.

It looked brutal, can Getzlaf return from that Friday? Ow.

 

[Alistar]

Eakin, Roussel, Cole were all awful tonight and specially Gonch-Rome were a disaster.. Annoying but I'm sure Ruff co. will sort this out.

Aaron Rome 2 shot attempts forward at even strength, 11 shots against (2 goals against too). He played 9 minutes, the least of any player on the team. Safe to say he won't be back.

The first line dominated, everyone else was mediocre, we have much better to show going forward in this series.

 

[Cin]

He'll be back. No chance even a broken jaw keeps him out of a playoff game.

 

[Stars99Lobo37]

I'll take it.

Very little griping here.

Rome is beyond awful.

Roussel and Garbutt were selfish like they were early in the year.

But besides that, I loved the team's heart and once again...their ability to continue to fight on.

Nichushkin looked WAY better than I expected outside of that bad turnover that led to the Perry and Getzlaf chance.

 

[Kalamazoo Wings]

I feel like the Benns can both give a better effort. Jordie was completely out of sorts and will undoubtedly be better. Jamie was doing his halfassed glide in the defensive zone not really looking eager to get in the lanes like the other teams captain was. And he's gotta get that puck moving forward in the final 10 seconds of the game. Nice effort on the comeback, won two outta three periods which at the end of it I guess is good for **** all other than something to build off of going into Friday. Gonchar and Rome gots ta go... Go Stars in game 2!

 

[Satan]

Does Horcoff's TOI indicate Ruff doesnt like him or that he's too far over the hill? Lmao

 

[Kalamazoo Wings]

Eakin, Roussel, Cole were all awful tonight and specially Gonch-Rome were a disaster.. Annoying but I'm sure Ruff co. will sort this out.

Yeah what was up with him, I was wondering if he was injured or something. I thought he'd be rarin' to go and was made for playoffs. Maybe jitters, hopefully game 2 he can be more effective.
