GDT: [SCP R1 GM1] Dallas Stars @ Calgary Flames - 9:00 PM CT (BSSW)

[Kcb12345]

Well, kinda went about as expected.

You could probably count the legitimate scoring chances for Dallas on one hand

 

[Kipper 17]

Rads had his chance. Scratch him. Having someone else on the PP could’ve been the difference in the game. What a joke.

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Don't worry Bowness knows what the offensive issues are and he will fix them.

 

[starsfan86]

16 sog.

 

[Troy McClure]

Completely outclassed in the first period.

Better defending and possession the 2nd and 3rd periods, but generated almost no scoring chances of note. Markstrom didn't have to make any difficult saves.

 

[DieselPig]

What a pathetic performance. Wouldn’t be surprised we get shutout a couple more times this year. Not even enjoyable to watch. If this is the system we play next year I might have to tune out until Bones is gone.

 

[The Tourist]

I thought Radulov was fine.

Gurianov was terrible. I’d bench Guri for Peterson.

 

[Satan]

Are you at the game

Na I don't want to die yet

 

[LT]

Pretty good game

Can’t win them all. Clearly some nerves from Robertson, and Calgary shut down the rest pretty well. Markstrom did get tested several times and played very well.

Gotta be happy with the defensive effort. Gonna need more energy and a much faster start in the next few games though. Calgary took the momentum fast and never really let it go for too long.

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Kiviranta was pretty good I thought for a guy that didn't get many minutes.

 

[starsfan86]

Bowness probably ecstatic that we only gave up one goal.

 

[Elysian]

I thought Radulov was fine.

Gurianov was terrible. I’d bench Guri for Peterson.

Guri was better than Radulov, by far.

 

[cizko]

Conaidering how overplayed we were, the score is favourable.

Heiskanen played almost 30 minutes, but yay, he looks average to me. He can be much better than he showed tonight.

 

[Blindsummit]

Inability to have even an average looking powerplay costs us badly.

 

[Elysian]

Inability to have even an average looking powerplay costs us badly.

Radulov on PP1 gonna save us

 

[The Tourist]

Guri was better than Radulov, by far.

I disagree completely. Radulov was hard on the forecheck and won a lot of battles in the offensive zone. Gurianov looked like Benn floating around and dumping the puck in every time he touched it.

Guri had the 4th highest xG on the team, Radulov was 1 above "all others," then descended into "all others."

Screaming internally

I actually thought Gurianov had a decent game. Created that Suter chance, was strong in his own end.

Dumping the puck in is a team thing. It's what they're told to do, and its especially told to him I'd imagine cause they're afraid he will turn it over.

I thought most of the depth guys were okay tonight. I don't expect anything from them, we know they aren't great. Benn, Seguin, and the top line were all really bad. I thought Radulov was noticeable. Didn't look as bad as regular season Radulov

The good thing is the top line seemed to calm down towards the end (Robertson in particular seemed nervous to start) and started making plays. Could be cause the Flames started sitting back a bit but idk. They'll settle in. Every game will have to be tight and low scoring if the Stars are gonna win any. Could see the Flames getting a blowout win at some point, maybe next game.

No matter what happens in this series, it's a win for Stars fans.

Watch him get re-signed lol

 

[Troy McClure]

No matter what happens in this series, it's a win for Stars fans.

Bowness was able to get the Stars to hold the Flames to their lowest shot total in the third where the Flames only had six shots. The Stars really locked down that one goal deficit.

 

[hairylikebear]

Stars in 5

 

[Troy McClure]

That’s why you don’t play Miro on his offside…

Stars fans are forever trying to find the perfect situation for Miro, worrying about which side he pays, d partners, which forwards he's playing with, etc.

Meanwhile...
