Matt Duchene sticking a fork in Edmonton with the most style and sauce possible.
Pete DeBoer would never
To be fair Pete would have hated this showing of emotion and passion thing
I really love the Discord.
Gulutzan on Roope Hintz: “ He’s gonna miss some time.”
“He's got to go see another doctor, so we'll see how long that's gonna be.”
Said they’re hopeful Hintz can return for start of playoffs, and maybe even before, but “it’s gonna be a couple weeks for sure.”
Lian Bichsel on Tyler Myers:
“He’s not that tall.”
Elliotte Friedman reports that the Stars have filed paperwork officially declaring Tyler Seguin out for the playoffs. His season is over.
A side effect of Seattle winning might be everyone galaxy braining themselves into thinking "Draft Bust Turned Backup No. X" is actually the next Darnold in disguise.
I mean, leaving off players like Robertson and Fox (and others) *was* stupid and wrong, but that decision isn't solely tied up with tomorrow's outcome. It's more like "was it a big enough error/mistake that it costs them the gold."
Maybe they win anyways, maybe it's not close enough to matter.
Regards tomorrow's game, remember that if USA wins gold, it doesn't somehow magically make their roster decisions good, right, whatever. Just like how losing wouldn't make them automatically bad, wrong, etc.
Super happy for Demarcus Lawrence. I mean, I really like Darnold and don't care for the Patriots to say the least, but at the end of the day all I honestly care about is D-Law getting a Ring.
It's now the 5:30 start time. If the Super Bowl were run by the NHL, we'd just now be starting player warmups on the field.
A Pacific appearance would also require a Central team passing up the Stars, with the next being Nashville, who is *checks notes* 16 points behind Dallas, twice as many points as they are to last place in the NHL.
"We couldn't bring Jason aboard because he's only good at goal scoring, and we need more defense."
"Actually, even though he doesn't play PK, his metrics show that he's-"
"LALALALA I CAN'T HEAR YOU!!!"
The Stars when the accidentally acquire a quality young defenseman for cheap
Dallas trades/Buffalo receives: any one of their three Conference Finals appearances over the last 3 seasons
Buffalo trades/Dallas receives: the right to ever complain about the '99 Cup Final ever again.

Dallas had a throwback to their "superline" days in last nights' 4-3 win over Edmonton:

This is what the Stars did in Heiskanen's 28 minutes, two third of which were against McDavid:
Stars hard-matched their top pair against McDavid's line and contained him very effectively.
Good comeback win by Dallas. Was very much a one line game by them, but that one line was all they needed in the end.
My dad said to me "that's the dagger we won't survive" and then Mikko immediately scores lol

#DallasStars Hockey is back, which means I'm back to writing!
Here's Year 7 of my favorite (and only) annual tradition: my bold predictions for the new Stars season.

I don't mass produce playoff-only versions of these charts but perhaps I should.

After a game in which there were plenty of (negative) things to write about, it's a quote from Pete DeBoer on a horrible coaching decision that stands out...

DeSmith still in net to start the second
