2024-25 General Dallas Stars Talk

So it's clear DeBoer has no idea what to do with Rantanen.

Nill can acquire all the talent in the world but it's still being given to these coaches.
 
Why do they keep f***ing around with Bourque? He is good with Benn and Johnston. Leave it alone. Put Rantanen with Duchene. Granlund with Hintz/Robertson.

Dadonov can go back on the fourth line and Blackwell is trash.

Stop scratching Bourque and playing Blackwell and Back you monkeys.

Back-Steel-Blackwell looked very engaged last night, what's the logic behind making a switch there?
 
Mav should play with Benn full time and quit switching that. Get Rants a different center. This coaching staff is clueless. Keep forcing something that clearly doesn't work.

Not a single defenseman in that lineup who can make an outlet pass. (Yes I know Harley is just getting a rest)

No Miro could be the difference in series 1.

I haven't consulted the spreadsheets and pictograms but my old eyes tell me Biggie Six is 'ok' on outlets. I mean, I don't want him to be 2nd best at it on the blue line. But you are right - they either flip it out (Lindell) or make a panic play up the boards (everyone else).
 
Oh man now I'm worried they're gonna wear down Harley over the next few weeks by playing him a shit ton and he'll be outta gas when the playoffs start. Hope I'm wrong but damn...

I mean, the staff makes constant blunders. They ride their goalie and Heiskanen into the ground constantly, play a defender 4 mins in the playoffs.. and then wonder why the tank is empty come conference finals.

Now they are doing it again with Harley.

yeah you're right- they are the worst and im fed up watching a team that is sitting at 3rd in the league in points. Deboer if you're reading this - please consider consulting more with message board posters

This team is going to be fine. No team plays at a top level the entire season. Even during this "drought", they're still managing to get points.

it's funny how the negative nancy's will talk all the shit in the world about how bad nill is and the moves he makes.
but out of the other side of their mouths talk shit about pdb and the staff bc they don't know how to use this great roster.

can't fathom how miserable it must be to be so damn negative.

to be fair, mrH, you're not as bad as some others, but damn

I think frustration is building from posters because the team has looked disjointed for weeks now when we are hoping adding a top 20 player would make us even better. Coaching staff doesn't seem to have any solutions over the last 3 weeks and even Pete blew up after the game last night so it's not only fans.

Sure, the team is in a good spot in the standings so we should be happy.. but over the last month playing against good teams I think most fans are seeing this team could easily get bounced first round.

Expectations are sky high when you make back to back conference finals that even a stretch of bad play in the regular season is going to be scrutinized.
 
I'm wondering if Robertson - Hintz - Rantanen is the best use of this new toy. Rantanen is one of the very best goal scorers in the league, and he's being put on a line with a shoot-first LW and a center who isn't exactly known as a setup guy.

These are now the three best goal scorers on the team... all on the same line. It feels like a strange way to use them. Most teams would spread them out.
