Pre-season thread

[Kcb12345]

Yeah more about the 2nd sentence. Picked him yesterday in a fantaisy pool in the last round and people have acted weird about it. I have talks with one of our own previously and he supposed to be the legit 3rd wheels with Benn and Seguin this year. I thought I got an homerun pick over a safe pick a la Craig Smith and people were all big smiles

Could be a good pick but I think he is gonna start the year with Janmark and Spezza. Its possible he ends up on Seguin's line at one point but they didn't play together at all in pre-season so not too sure

Lmao Miro at 15 seconds starts breaking these kids' ankles

Hope Nill is looking to make a trade for Mark Stone.

Or Duchene

 

[Smelling Salt]

I think the Duchesne trade hype train will pick up steam once Nill discovers that yes indeed, Spezza is finished. Shouldn't take long to realize. I'm guessing end of November. Hopefully that isn't too late.

I would like to be wrong about Spezza.

I’d like Steve Duchesne

I think it will be late before he comes to his senses. His refusal to fire/replace Ruff in 2016-17, or move a practically useless Gonchar out in 2014-15 are indicative of his inability to respond to a crisis, quickly.

How to watch, listen and live stream Stars vs. Avalanche

Will be streamed on Dallasstars.com although blackout restrictions apply

 

[hairylikebear]

Hintz for 2C, Spezza can take his spot in the AHL.

 

[FirstRowUpperDeck]

Yeah, I think they will push Hintz right into that role pretty early, like first Spezza injury. Unless they try Shore there, too. It is what he was drafted for, no? Yeah, maybe a little early but Nill/Monty have a choice of trading their precious assets for a higher paid vet or finally letting draft picks play, even if a bit earlier than warranted.

 

[Magic Mittens]

If Nuke would have/could reach his ceiling, we could have a second line of Janmark, Hintz and Nuke. Wouldn't be the tops in the NHL, but all 3 could score 20

 

[serp]

Nevermind .

To watch the Stream i had to manually change Flash to be automatically be enabled.

 

[Kcb12345]

First look at Heiskanen-Honka pairing

This also looks like its gonna be our starting forward group for this season imo. We just have to wait and see who comes out for Nichushkin when he returns.

Monty says Hintz has to have a big game for them tonight so I'd guess if he doesn't then he is headed back down

PK needs some work ...

 

[Kcb12345]

PK needs some work ...

Yeah wow...Special teams in general need a lot of work

 

[Kcb12345]

Stars PK is one of the least aggressive penalty kills I've ever seen lol. Hope that changes for the regular season

Spezza had a really good period

 

[Magic Mittens]

stupid blackout restrictions, really wanted to watch this game

 

[Kcb12345]

Ritchie just demolished Cole in a fight. Both left bloody and cut though

 

[serp]

Point needs some work. Third shot from the Blueline now.

 

[Kcb12345]

To be fair that one took a crazy deflection off Landeskog

 

[Kcb12345]

Heiskanen isn't on either PP or PK unit. Kinda odd but maybe just testing other guys out there I suppose. The PP is more a surprise than the PK

Edit: out there now killing penalties

 

[Magic Mittens]

its preseason, don't really care about the score, more so about how we look. From what I saw, I really like Comeau, but I knew him from when he played for Calgary. Top line looks good, Shore didn't look bad killing penalties also. First time ive seen anyon else wear 24 since Jo Benn and everytime I since Hintz im wondering who the &^* is this lol

Lets get a comeback going boys

 

[serp]

Hintz looks good. Fast and can create offense by himself.

Hope he makes the cut .

 

[serp]

I mean Monty throws Hintz out there with the net empty over say Ritchie or Dickinson . At this point i'm very suprised if he doesn't make the team.
