Are The Dallas Stars Underachieving?

[winnipegger]

They are deep and good. I hope the jets avoid them in round 1.

I know it won’t happen but I’d love to see them add Marner or Rantanen at the deadline

Why aim so low? I'd love to see them add McDavid.

They had better team than Oilers in my opinion and choked hard in Game 6, when they outplayed Edmonton handidly. This year with loss of Pavelski and Seguin I don't have Stars going far in the playoffs. Let's see if they add pieces at the deadline.

They were to damn slow. Dallas is a slow team that got eaten alive and exoosed in the playoffs. I never felt Dallas really ever threatened anything in that series.

Salary cap is a myth

Eaten alive and exposed in the playoffs for a team that has been 6 wins away from a Cup in back to back years is a funny take.

They had no business losing to Edmonton. They f***ed it up.

This is definitely not what I saw

I honestly think they overachieved last year. Their young guys have regressed after having career years last year and their old guys are getting older.

Young guys having career years? I'm guessing you're talking about Johnston, but he's on pace to finish roughly around the same total after a slow start. He also had a slow start last year.

Maybe you're talking about Harley? He's on pace to finish a couple points below last season

Robertson? I don't really consider him a young guy, guess he could be. He's playing better now and is getting close to being a PPG

Stankoven? but he's in his second year, so obviously he had a career year last year lol

I personally don't see how they overachieved, I felt like they should have been in the finals, but ran out of gas against Edmonton. That Vegas series took a lot out of them imo

Weird cope. They lost. Better team won - in 6 games too.

Could just as easily say they had no business winning 2 out of the series. Edmonton ****ed up.

Went through the motions in the first half of the season. Best offensive player Robertson had a slow start after off season surgery, Pavelski retired, Lost Tanev, Seguin out for the season..Yet despite this are 4th in the league in points %.
Top 3 in NHL in Goals Against
Lead the league in Penalty Kill
9th in Goals for.

Have a low ranked power play although it's recently upticking and clearly has talent to upward trend and be a factor in any game.

Robertson is getting going too with 22 points in last 20 games. With Hintz on track to score close to 40 goals, top guys are clicking again.

They have a tremendous defensive game.

They need to add an impact forward and a strong/ physical defenseman, but have a cap room to do both.

If they can add that they might be able to get to another conference final, which looks to be the time Seguin could be back (if he does get back at all).

In an even conference, they will be there again, one of the teams fighting for a spot in the conference finals.

They started the first half of this season with a virtually identical record to last season.

Take off your oil-smeared glasses brother!

Never said they weren’t a good team just don’t think they are underachieving. They are right where they should be.

Well no, but you said they overachieved, which I am just pointing out the consistency means they definitely didn't overachieve.

The only one coping is you. If the Stars meet the Oilers again, it won't end too well for the Stars. Oilers were clearly the better team. More efficient and didn't even need 7 games to dispose them. I'm not sure about you, but when 2 teams play a 7 game series and one teams starting goaltender is Stuart Skinner and the other team has Oettinger.... yet still lose in 6. That should be enough to figure out, which team outside the crease was better lol
