2025 General Dallas Stars Playoff Talk

[MBTendy]

Figured we can get a playoff talk going.

Shapiro on the DLLS postgame mentioned he believes Heiskanen will be back for Game 4. Says he watched Miro practice for an hour pre-game and looked good. When he spoke with him afterwards, he said his knee felt pretty good after it and had no issues. The next step would be the have him play now.

Landeskog back for the 3d game, Heiskanen for the 4th and Roberston for the 5th? No shortage of story lines for the games

 

[LT]

I don't know if we see Robertson for a while

I also question Landeskog's return - why didn't he just return in games 1 or 2? Wanting his redebut to be at home is not something I can see a coach actually going for. I think it's more likely he just isn't ready for whatever reason. Guess we'll see tomorrow.

I'm guessing it's going to be a 1 and done situation.
I don't think he's going to have an NHL career again, so they are saving his farewell game for a home game,

I see Robertson coming back for the 2nd round if we advance.

 

[MBTendy]

Ya the fact Robo hasn’t touched the ice yet leads me to believe we won’t see him until next round. Maybeee game 7.

To be honest though, I’m not really worried about our team moving forward without Robo (short term). Our forwards are deep enough to sustain a loss like Robo.

Agreed. Miro is more important at this time.

 

[Zapp]

Stoked as f*** that Miro is going on the trip. Hope he plays game 4, would be huge for the team.

Bichsel looked great last night too. The defense will look so different when Miro is back! Petrovic hasn’t looked bad either, beats the hell out of Dumba-ss and Smith.

Petrie makes me nervous out there but he has been fine given the situation and expectations. Might be a different story when the Avs have last change though.

Landeskog went through his first full NHL game day prep in a long time. These players do a lot of work on game days, so I imagine seeing how he felt after the skate, nap, stretch, off-ice exercises, and on-ice warm up was a good test for how several hours of activity felt and how he was doing when he woke up this morning.

Even if he plays, we're probably talking 4th line and some PP time. I'd be shocked if he plays even ten minutes.

We make it deep, Robertson will play is what I was told. He's done some damage to that knee.

is that game day prep significantly different than what he would've done in his brief ahl stint?

What about Miro? Is it true what Shapiro is saying? Chances are he plays game 4?

he's on the trip to Denver and it's not to visit Casa Bonita

 

[catters078]

Posted in the wrong thread.

I think 2 days off between game 3 and 4 brings Miro into play for Game 4.

Will get put through his paces at the practise the day off before Game 4. Hopefully ticks all boxes and joins

Is Nils likely in a deep run as well or not a chance?

Seems like there's no chance

Even if he was healthy he'd probably be in and out of the lineup

In a pre playoffs presser Pete alluded that he would be healthy by early June. Meaning if stars got to SCF he might be an option. But agree, if the Stars are in the SCF I can't see Nils forcing his way in cold.

 

[Sports2]

“Nils Lundkvist is a serviceable defenseman and is sorely missed on the blueline.”

 

[MBTendy]

 

[Kipper 17]

So his return could range anywhere from him being unable to play double digit minutes and causing a distraction to his team, to being an effective player and giving them a huge morale boost.

Would be really nice to ruin his return by blowing them out.

Our own Landeskog moment if so
