The Dallas Stars are here to burn down your village [Mod Warning Post #436]

[Zrhutch]

8-2-0.

Back to back games coming back from down two or more.

Most dangerous offense in the league.

All they needed to add from last year was league average goaltending, and it seems like they've done that. Is this a contender? The underlying metrics over the past couple seasons say they very well could be.

Yup I would say more dangerous than Washington which makes them #1 and #2

More like "Grubes is here to play all Nickelback all the time", hahaha

mm come back to me in 10 games.

the Sharp add was amazing though. Fun team to watch.

 

[roflstomper]

They might make the playoffs.

 

[Icebreakers]

They probably wouldnt do very well in the playoffs with that goaltending/D.

That was the best bit ever.

Will Jamie Benn ever stop scoring?

After Boston

Their division is so crazy so you never know but would be fun to see them in the playoffs and see how far they can go.

 

[Machinehead]

Top 10 possession team last year and got historically and unsustainably bad goaltending. This is no surprise.

 

[BlueDream]

Fun team to watch for sure.

Coaching will always be the biggest weakness for any team Lindy Ruff is associated with. Seriously. He's a terrible terrible coach.

Is Lehtonen available? I don't mind tanking and losing but Leafs goalies have been beyond terrible.

 

[Noodletoro]

They are one top four d-man away from contention, IMO. One injury shouldn't mean Jordie Benn is now playing in your top four. If they can make a trade for one or get it from the system (Lindell, Honka, Johns) then things could get very interesting.

 

[Dertell]

Only weaknesses last year were goaltending and Daley. Both were addressed.

Them winning the division wouldn't be a surprise. That's what I expect.

I'd hope not, the tandem has worked as advertised so far. One goalie starts slumping, put in the other.

 

[Love]

They're good. Forwards are absolutely elite.

Not SC contenders until they improve that D significantly.

What's all the belly aching over the Stars? The lowly Florida Panthers managed to beat 'em 6-2.

Go Lindy Ruff!

Because good teams never have bad games right?

The Panthers are awesome. Currently leading the league in even strength goals for percentage.

I'm gonna take this back to the Panthers board for proof that comments like these exist.

Dallas owed Jagr a favour, from his days with the Stars. That's all that was.

I just made that comment to see if anyone was paying attention. Thanks.
