Both over Cogliano would be better. I'll give Cogliano credit for a solid game 1 though. He probably had his best game of the bubble.

I'd dub you SS but that one has some... poor connotations

Easy win tonight.

waiting for Benn to look at the Avs' bench the wrong way and a main boards thread pops up about how dirty he is

No, first they need their broadcast crew to put up a pixelated video recording from a smartphone onto Twitter whining. Then they have the authority to get angry about it.

Without the Twitter post, no one would even know about that play from the game.

The Avs announcers are so cringy. Even more so in that video.

Go Stars!

I'm not sure what video you're talking about. Do you have a link?

Must win tonight for both teams?

Colorado obviously need to avoid an 0-2 hole

Dallas has a chance to win a game against an Avs team with multiple players out. EJ and Calvert are two key outs especially to their defensive games..Stars need to capitilise while the Avs arent full strength. I didnt list Grubauer because i think Francouz is close to even regarding ability to get a win. But the other two are key injuries

Stars would ideally like to avoid a best of 5 when their players come back

 

[BigG44]

Calling this a Dallas must win is a stretch IMO. Everyone of us reasonably would have been thrilled if the series was 1-1 after 2. As long as Dallas never falls behind more than 1 game, they have a fighting chance.

If the situation was reversed right now .... must win for Dallas.

I'm thrilled with the way Dallas played, and I don't mean this as a slight, but I don't think this is a must win for Colorado either though. The Dallas Stars are absolutely a team that can easily lose 4 in a row, and the Avs are a team that can string wins together. I'd give anything to see Dallas get another win tonight, and then Colorado probably is in a must win situation for Game 3, but unless Dallas gets a blowout win this game, the series isn't over if Dallas can go up 2 wins. That's a damn good team on the other side regardless of injuries. They aren't going to roll over.

Dallas has a problem closing out really good teams even when they're in a position of strength. I really hope this year is different, but they haven't put the Colorado Avs in a must win situation. They do have an opportunity to take another step and prove they can win a series against a top team.

Would be massive if we could go up 2-0. Colorado is gonna bring it though tonight for sure. Clearly aren't thrilled with their last performance

 

[Troy McClure]

Connauton against the Stars = 0.31 goals per game
Connauton against the rest of the NHL = 0.08 goals per game

 

[Dynamite Time]

Have a good feeling Avs are on their toes and we got this.

 

[Smelling Salt]

So Janmark is still out which is "good". No offense, Janny.

That second sentence without a comma also works.

Janmark played last game, did he get injured again?

Edit: Nope he's playing

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Them using this anthem shit from their arena with fans is annoying me.

It even includes mic feedback for the start of O Canada lmfao

 

[Dynamite Time]

Watch out Benn, he’s injured.

waiting for Benn to look at the Avs' bench the wrong way and a main boards thread pops up about how dirty he is

I mean, we all remember how it went when Benn merely said something about a couple of players on another team.

 

[Machinehead]

Roope Hintz is gonna score all the goals the Flyers didn't tonight
