Hey nice contribution Roussel. You're ****ing terrible. Dallas is playing way above their actual ability so far this season. Will slow down considerably. Blues have been absolutely horrible lately and Dallas was given plenty of opportunity in the third by the refs. Hype...

Stars broadcasters saying that there are ALOT of empty seats. Intersted to hear the apologists explain that one away.

The league needs more scoring. It's anemic right now.

I have watched several stars games this season, they shouldn't be talking about any other team having empty seats, especially since they are first in the league and have lower prices than stl in a bigger city

Stars/Blues game is the most boring game I've seen this season. Blues played defend the 1 goal lead from the time they got it. I can see why folks may not have been at the game for their Captains Night (which was pretty cool to see). Not sure I'll be catching the rest of our games against them this season.
The hell are you talking about? The Blues were stomping a mud hole in Dallas the whole 1st. If it wasn't for Niemi standing on his head, it would have been 4-0 first period. 2nd period the stars went offsides and iced the puck nonstop, blame your own team for that 2nd period snooze fest

Dallas throwing a temper tantrum to end the game. Classy.

The Blues cheated on faceoffs, interfered with the Stars players (including on the play that led to Tarasenko's goal), and drew blood from a high stick without being penalized for it. What do you expect?

The Blues played awful in the second period and the Stars response was to go offside every 15 seconds and randomly ice the puck.

Blues had 16 shots in first period AFTER the goal was scored! It's pretty impressive they did nothing but defend the lead and still managed to get that many shots in the period.

Dallas got their make up calls. How about painfully blatant hold and take down on Steen from Seguin


You think that was interference on Backes during the Tarasenko goal? That literally happens every game. It's not called because Backes had the puck, dropped it and continued on his path.

Obviously Dallas to be a little more professional. Sometimes a team just gets beat.

No, what Backes did in the Stars zone was fine. As Oleksiak shot the puck after the draw, Nichushkin tried to skate to the net but the Blues defender stuck his arm into him and skated backward into him, blocking Nichushkin's path. It's clear that the defender isn't playing the puck since he actually removed himself from the shooting lane in order to interfere with Nichushkin. Nichushkin tried to cut around the interference but he fell to the ice. The rebound came to an area where Nichushkin would have been nearest to the puck if he hadn't been interfered with. Instead, the Blues pick up the rebound and went down the ice and scored.

Everyone still puts in their back-ups against Calgary, despite the fact they're currently dangerous and heating up.

Makes no sense.

I missed that part. The replays I saw that play was slightly of of frame. Unfortunately **** like that happens. It's happened to the Blues too.

Dallas averages ~300 more than the Blues. Do you want to go first?

What a sequence! First the Yotes save the empty netter by hard work backchecking, and then they survive another almost EN goal, and then tie it up down the other side of the ice!
