Sekera makes Oleksiak look competent and having a competent useable third pairing is a good thing. Polak needs all the help he can get when he's on the ice 5on5 .

An Oleksiak-Polak pairing is unuseably bad.

Keep the other two on the ice most of the time. Or even better have Harley on the team so you have three good pairings.

There's no way that was going to happen with our pretty conservative management . Harley would've had to go full prime Pronger in pre-season or something like that to make the team.

I know it doesn't matter as much in 2019 but is Dallas a little light in the pants up front? We just watched an extremely heavy and hard hitting team win the Stanley Cup. I look up front and I see Benn, Faksa and Comeau who can play a heavy game. I guess Perry when he gets back.

Is this a non issue or something to watch going forward?

So we just saw a physical, highly skilled team win.

And before that we saw a highly skilled, defensive team win.

And before that, a super speedy, highly skilled team won. Twice.

Notice the trend? It isn’t physicality.

As was stated before, blame Fox and the deal that was negotiated.

f*** Fox Sports and their bullshit.

The Stars can't force FSSW to show the games and they can't do it without FSSW . Sucks but thats how the broadcast rights contracts are structured.

i love how everyone is pissed at FSSW for not showing preseason games.
They would if they were worth it
It cost money to broadcast and they don't have enough viewers to make it worthwhile.
It's a fanbase issue not a broadcasting one

2-0 Stars losing already. 2 goals in 22 seconds and around 8 minutes left in the 1st

Stars outshot 9-6 in that first period. Took 2 penalties and killed off one, but gave up a goal on the other and 22 seconds later gave up a goal at 5v5. Avs also had a breakaway to end the period but I believe missed the net. 2-0 Avs

Seguin scores. All alone in front apparently it was a beauty too. Benn and Pavelski with the assists

2-1
