GDT: WCSF Game #2 ★ Dallas Stars vs Colorado Avalanche, 8:45PM CT ★ NBCSN, SN ★ Stars lead 1-0

[FirstRowUpperDeck]

We're being outplayed plain and simple. They did it for about a third the first game, but it may double that tonight.

 

[WhoahNow]

Did Fedun really just suplex that guy?

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Whats the point of doing that Fedun?

 

[Satan]

i'm going to switch to SN.
but here is what it is...
Mackinnon, Mackinnon, Mackinnon.
"He's so powerful, He's so dreamy, He's so amazing....."

i need that in my life rn

 

[Satan]

I love Chris Cuthbert but Pierre - damn he rules

 

[Kipper 17]

Every time he touches the puck it’s scary

Thought I was watching Monday night Raw there

Thankfully very few dangerous shots imo. Most have been from distant that Dobby has just caught with his glove.

Officiating has been interesting. A soft as baby shit call on Hintz early on so you think they are going to call a tight game but nope. Zadorov just holds Pavelski down for a good 15 seconds with his forearm on the back of Pavs head and no penalty. Then Landeskog goes to the net on Miro and uses his free hand to hold Miro's stick which allowed him to get the shot away. Nope no call for Landy holding the stick. Then Fedun gets called for holding after he throws Compher down because Compher had a hold of his stick in a little wrestling match.

Colorado has clearly been the better team but I'm fine with Dallas giving these shots up if they would start pushing back on offense and getting some more chances.

"life”

 

[Kipper 17]

I’ll take 0-1 after a period like that. Now settle down and start playing your game Stars.

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Maybe we will start playing in the 2nd, one can hope.

 

[Kcb12345]

Ah just sat down

Heard MacKinnon's name about 9 times tho before the commercial break

 

[Troy McClure]

Their starting goalie is out, so we get very few shots on him. Their top PK defender is out, and we do nothing to get a PP.

Bad news: the Stars were completely dominated
Good news: the Avs only managed one goal

Regardless of what happened, Fedun’s decision to suplex Compher was an odd one.

 

[JeffP]

yeah shot total comparison is uggggly.

That’s usually when we start.

That;s not entirely true.
There was several that were let go for reasons unknown.

 

[suprafastcelica]

Without Mackinnon, I think we can take them. To bad we don't have a Scott Steven's like player that did some open ice hits.

 

[DieselBoy]

I’ve always liked Khudobin, I feel like in his entire career he has never been given a proper shot at it.

 

[LT]

lucky to only be down 1-0

reffing has been garbage though

 

[Dynamite Time]

Didn’t do anything offensively but solid “Stars” 1st period I guess. The Avalanche didn’t jump out like I thought they might.

 

[M88K]

Without Mackinnon, I think we can take them. To bad we don't have a Scott Steven's like player that did some open ice hits.

Right every time I watch Colorado, I always think, If Matt Cooke was still around he could single-handed beat the Avs with one well placed cheap shot.

 

[LT]

not sure when the Stars are gonna figure out to just have two guys on MacK at all times

 

[The Tourist]

Ah just sat down

Pierre would pay money to blow MacKinnon.

You didn't miss a ton though. Colorado controlled the play. Had two power plays, scored on one from an off speed fluttering slap shot that might have fooled Dobby. Then from then on it was just Dallas doing nothing and Colorado controlling the play and taking a bunch of shots from distance. Dobby really didn't have to make any difficult saves. Shots from distance that he squared up on.

 

[MrHeiskanen]

At this point they havent even figured out to have 1 on him. constantly leave him open.
