[Elysian]

Lybushkin has definitely exceeded expectations. As has Dumba, in a negative way.

Our team defense overall can be good while certain players can be absolute ass.

I know, it's just funny for us to complain about our defensive depth (which is our biggest weakness) while we've allowed the least amount of goals and are 3rd best in goal differential. The Stars could be 1st in the league, cup favorites and we'd still be worried about some part of the team failing us come playoffs.

Don’t come here ruining our misery with facts

The most important thing is having 6 guys who will play a regular shift in the playoffs and that you've coaching-staff proofed the roster. Because doing whatever we did last year is not a winning strategy. Games will be won or lost based on whether Miro/Harley have anything in the tank.

Ceci, whatever you think of him, has Finals experience playing real minutes. And he's big.

Game 1: 17:19
Game 2: DNP
Game 3: 15:17
Game 4: 18:45
Game 5: 17:17
Game 6: 19:25
Game 7: 18:35

Even +/-

Bichsel, is big.

That should be enough for PDB.

I think most of us are just worried about PDB only playing 5 defensemen in the playoffs again. It cost us big time

Seems like Nill is doing what he can to avoid that at least.

Even though I enjoyed Hartman while he was a Dallas Star, what a dumb play and glad they threw the book at him.

Wasn't expecting 10, but I believe he's a repeat offender

huh? you thinking hagman?

 

[Smelling Salt]

Hartman was an RFA one summer and traded to Dallas for Stars legend Tyler Pitlick, but Nill never gave Hartman a QO so he became a FA.

wowzers. totally forgot about that one

Yeah, just being dumb

 

[ElGuapo]

Really sucks

Yeah, just being dumb

Really sucks he did that. I often get nostalgic about his time in Dallas. Maybe my favorite former Star of the last 10 years outside of Klingberg. They both did great things in the community while providing exciting moments and indelible memories to be cherished.

I have an autographed jersey of his framed and hanging on my wall. I stare at it every night before I go to bed.

You've got Hart, man.

 

[Smelling Salt]

Michael that is just cray cray. Blessed to have you share this with us all.
jk nobody f***ing cares

 

[Kcb12345]

An interesting read. The Stars aren't featured in any negative ways, so that's good

I wonder why those questionnaires always make Winnipeg sound like Irkutsk.

You would be surprised at how many people hate the cold. I hate Dallas like people hate Winnipeg. Too hot, nothing to do.
