Idk, that's fair. We are horrific to start games and it's not a secret. That was a clusterf***.

You drink the canns? I find that there’s too much CBD and they knock me the heck out.

This might just be me getting older, but what’s not to love about relatively even minutes distribution and some AHL guys jamming it up?
Edit: wow, 8k likes. I’d like to thank the academy, my wife, daughter, and the board for finding me agreeable. Xoxo.

Why? Because we got good goaltending and they didn’t?
if so then we’ve fluked our way into a bunch if L’s this year.

I honestly don't think that was a fluke. We turtled at the end, but after the first goal and until the third period it looked pretty even with us at times really taking the game to Dallas. The passes were generally much quicker and sharper last night. It did not seem like a lucky win. That was one of the first times I felt like the team as a whole took a step on the right direction. I don't think it was a case of Dallas just not trying like it was with Florida.
There is a ton to work on, and it was far, far from perfect (and at times still a total mess), but was a lot better than pretty much the rest of the year, at least to my eye anyway.
And no, this is not opposite day me anymore. These are my actual thoughts from my normally pessimistic self.

One of the few games we've seen this season where they had the extra step all game and also yes as you said, passes were really crisp. Also, shots were going off a little quicker, not as many delays.

So, who has to sacrifice themselves to make it so? I have a few suggestions.

I'm a simple man, I see our goalie witha .946 save percentage and I'm happy.
This is the start of the run, folks!

That's his schtick. He does that with everyone, his own team included. He's like Jack Edwards lite.

If we get depth scoring like that every other game we will win games.
Tierney 2pts
Hotlz 1g
Lazar 1 assist
Nosek 1g
MACDermid 1 assist in 1:40 TOI lol
+DeSimone 1 assist
Then you get the core
Timo 2pts
Haula 1g
Mercer 1g
Nico 1pt
Luke 1pt
Good game considering Bratt and Palat were quiet. Jack generated stuff but no points either

Is it Allen's crease to lose? Or will they be splitting him and Kahkonen down the stretch? Asking for fantasy hockey purposes

Too soon to tell but since Allen has a much higher likelihood of being here next year, he should get the first crack at being the 1A. As long as they’re in a ‘stretch run for the playoffs’ they’ll likely go with the hot hand if one emerges

I too like goalies who stop the puck.
If there was playoffs, Allen would be instantly the go to guy. He is the guy to beat and too bad it took so long to get him along. His cup victory was gifted, but the way he can carry games is something that stays with you mentally. 2020 Demko > 2017 Allen > 2023 Bobrovsky for some great goalie performances.

Seems like when I stopped being positive, they looked really good.
In that case, they still suck and will lose to Arizona.

Usually he’s a pro Stars cheerleader but it’s a bit more professional and he’s usually diplomatic about thr other team. This was bad by his standards in my view. Given the Bally’s Sports implosion I wonder if he’s being leaned on by the team or something.
Jack just has no handles anymore. He made one or two good setups but he absolutely blew that perfect one from Mercer, without even getting a shot off. It's been like this since he came back, and he seems to be getting worse, not better.
he needs time off. shoulder just ain't right.

Bahl had a really good game I thought....Take those net front penalties good to see him knocking people down....Mercer goal was a beauty....
