GDT: Stars visit Toronto

[SourTemplePilot]

Only 1 out of a possible 6 points on the road trip thus far.

I can live with the Pens loss but Montreal had a tank lineup and the Leafs didn't play all too well (compared to the last little while).

Not good at this time of the year.

They better empty the tank in Ottawa.

Completely agree

The pre-season prognosticators had it right. Stars go from non PO team to borderline fighting for a wild card spot. Everything goes down to last game, probably. Who gets in decided by who plays well. Too bad the Stars couldn't ever build up any kind of cushion, because they aren't playing well, and I'm not sure you can count this second period as a sign the offensive slump is over.

They did play with passion for a while, but (granted, tired, but didn't stop Pens and Canadiens) ran out of gas, couldn't clear the puck, etc. Kari a bit tired, too, with the ramped up workload.

Schedule, road heavy and travel heavy. What is the deal with OTT-WPG-WSH.

Honka last night:

9:58 TOI, including only 1:48 in the 3rd (three shifts including one that was only 13 seconds) and zero in OT.

GOOD JOKES HITCH

Hitch even said his guys looked tired. If your D look tired the f***ing play the guy who has less than 10 minutes on the night and doesnt look remotely tired. Hitch needs to go ASAP

Hey guys, question about last night's game:

Late in the third, Toronto pulled their goalie, and the Stars were stuck in their own zone for almost a minute before they iced the puck.

Why didn't Hitchcock use his timeout there? Seguin and the group looked gassed. Was there any reason / explanation for why no timeout was used?

Didn't realize his ice time. That's f***ed up. Hitch and his veteran syndrome better start to equalize cuz it's some BS.

He's gonna ruin Honka real quick if he keeps this shit up.

Think Razor mentioned there is a newish rule where you can't call time out after an icing.

There is a new rule apperently . I could have sworn I seen teams call timeouts on icings this year though .

Yes yes, that's right - can't call a timeout on an icing. I had forgotten about the rule. Pretty dumb if you ask me.

It's only the team that ices the puck that can't call a timeout, the other team still can. Maybe that's what you were seeing.

Pretty sure all were scored after he got hurt.
