Stars win 7-2 Monday

 

[adsfan]

That was quick!

No. Dallas is limited to 5 goals in a game against Nashville.

 

[Bringer of Jollity]

Winning the division and yet having little hope in the future of your team is a very odd set of feelings. Hope the roulette wheel spins up a different Perds team for Monday. Dallas just a better team in every facet this series.

The most important thing Dallas has been able to get going is that zippy 2nd line of Dickinson-Hintz-Zuccarallo.

Having a genuine threatening 2nd line allows the stars to have that dominant top line together.

If Dallas depth scoring can be consistant enough to allow Benn-Seguin-Radulov to stay together it will be a huge asset.

 

[serp]

Finding a second line that is an actual threat to score was just huge for Dallas. Makes the team a much bigger threat. Allows us to keep the Superline together and still be a threat elsewhere.

Hope Stars can finish it at home on monday .

Do we have to?

 

[Linnie The Pooh]

The Nashville offense must show up in game 6. To have some guy named Rocco Grimaldi leading the way with Goals with the likes of a Johansen, Arvidsson, Forsberg, and Granlund there is something wrong. Rinne has to do much better as well as does the defense.

Get yourself a Wunderbar and a Heineken. You'll feel better.

Lavy's idea of adjustments is to swap around the bottom 9 forwards and leave the non-factor first line together. Actually, his idea of adjustments is to swap the side he's chewing his gum on.

And you must be mistaken, we don't have a Granlund.

They have to improve on lot of areas, but mostly those goals against were due to bad defense. Can't leave Dallas that open.

 

[Linnie The Pooh]

@Iron Duke are you being sarcastic because you do have Mikael Granlund ?

@Pestilence I agree the defense and especially it looked like Subban was playing in cement at times.

 

[Dr Pepper]

Dallas finishing them off at home just seems poetic enough. Heres hoping they put it out of reach early like they did on Wednesday.

Cogliano - Faksa - Comeau has done an unbelievable job of shutting them down so far, and they really aren't getting enough attention for it.

Definitely agree here. Faksa is so underrated as a shutdown C. Cogs and Comeau have played like this for years, and are very good. But, Faksa is great at what he does

Might as well be true. He's been completely irrelevant since the trade. I think it's more on coaching/system at this point, cause that's been half our team as well.

I thought that's what you meant.

 

[oconnor9sean]

Dallas’ job shutting down the JoFA line has been so damn huge in this series.

 

[justafan22]

Nashville has zero answer for the forecheck.

 

[Legionnaire11]

What's this "second line" stuff that people are talking about? I wasn't aware of the existence of such a thing.

 

[Novak Djokovic]

Preds D not playing as well as it should on paper. You compare them to NYI, and the difference on-ice versus on paper is huge.

 

[Harry Kakalovich]

Saw the 3rd period. Big game on Monday. I thought the Preds had some pretty good push in the 3rd after falling behind 5-2.

It's a new invention of the Dallas Stars hockey organ-I-zation.

 

[WesMcCauley]

Benn was a complete beast tonight, Nashville defenders looks legit "scared" when Benn forechecks them and i dont blame them.
