Still losing shootouts lol oh man i didn't miss that

 

[Spotty 2 Hotty]

And Oettinger lets in a weak one to finish it off.

 

[Satan]

you gotta score one for the young keeper cmon green

 

[starsfan86]

Tough loss. Another game we make some nobody goalie look like a vezina finalist

 

[The Tourist]

Oettinger needs to get some Giguere or Vasilevskiy oversized goalie equipment. Three of the goals tonight barely leaked through.

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Yes, blame Oettinger when our players go straight down the ice and shoot the puck right into their goalie.

What happened to actually dekeing on a shootout?

 

[JeffP]

i know no one cares and whatnot.. but this postgame gear they are shilling is atrocious imho

 

[Cowboyluck]

Typical Stars game 1st get the led. 2nd go into defensive posture. 3rd lose game.

Yeah but this is the last year of this regime.
So things should be changing for the better soon

 

[Elysian]

Was a really fun game to watch, glad hockey is back.

how do you figure? predicting a poor season?

 

[Captain Awesome]

If the entire western conference weren’t so shit, I’d be fairly confident they aren’t a playoff team, but the west is super weak, sadly, that might mean the ousting of Nill has a delay.

 

[M88K]

I personally expect to miss the PO again.
But either way i don't see how bones gets re-signed (short of winning a cup and he'll probably retire in that scenario anyway)
And if the team makes the PO but bows out in the first round (most likely if they make it)
I can't see nill being brought back yet again. Considering was already (allegedly) on a very short leash I don't see how anything short of a conference final (very unlikely) brings him back

 

[Captain Awesome]

I hope you’re right, I could imagine the bar being as low as ‘making the playoffs’, but it’s hard to say with this ownership group.

True but Gaglardi infinite patience has to wear out at some point. And nill is closing in on a decade

 

[Magic Mittens]

I don’t see us missing the playoffs this year, but this would be a good season to suck and be able to sell at the deadline

Rads, Klingberg, Pavs, Holtby, Comeau and even Sekera could all be dealt

with the next two drafts being good, we could load up on picks

but, I think we make the playoffs this year

 

[FirstRowUpperDeck]

My take on the season? We probably a top half of the NHL team.

To actually win, we need as much go right this year as went bad last year (i.e., injuries, Covid, condensed schedule, bad luck in OT and shoot outs.)

Man, Klingberg, Pavs, and Rads would all bring a 1st+ at the deadline I'd imagine depending on how their seasons go. It's almost tempting to root for them to miss the playoffs lol, but knowing Nill he will hold out past the deadline even if the playoffs are even a long shot. Similar to Oleksiak last season, who probably could've fetched us a 1st or a couple of 2nds

Yep just like last year. No chance to make it, didn't even try to sell

 

[Magic Mittens]

100% if we miss the playoffs it will be by 2-4 points and we will hold onto all our UFA’s because that’s just the Dallas way

I agree.

 

[BfantZ]

I agree.

Biggest problem is gonna be the injuries that we’re counting on not happening right now .

 

[Elysian]

Biggest problem is gonna be the injuries that we’re counting on not happening right now .

That's pretty much every season, every team. Can't worry about the unknown.

Ya I know , stars do have a very fragile roster right now though .
