Being tied going to Colorado is a win for Dallas
They needed to keep the hope alive
see what MacKinnon & Makar can do against that Bichsel - Petrovic pairing.
Shapiro made a comment in the post game he believes Miro is back game 4. This was based on him watching Miro skating for an hour pre-game, joining the team and said his knee felt pretty good when they spoke after practice.I'd still be shocked if Miro returned in this series.....if Dallas gets by the Avs it'll have to be without their top d-man.
If they can manage that, and add Miro and Robo both at 100%, gonna feel a lot better about this team's chances. than I did 24hrs ago.![]()

No mention of Robertson. It makes me believe he won’t be back this series.And Robertson?
"Week to week" pretty ambiguous.

Well getting just one of 'em back might still be enough.
Headed to Vegas last year down 2-0, if I recall correctly.
But they also hadn't lost the previous seven games going into that series.![]()
Dallas was the better team in Game 2, but it's a tough pill to swallow losing on a play like that. Neutral ice turnover, followed by chaos and missed assignments on the back check. All of this caused by Miles Wood, a low hockey IQ player who shouldn't even be dressed.
That aside, Colorado needs to shake up its top lines. Neither line is doing much, especially not line 2.

Agreed there. There's enough firepower up front with Rants, Hintz, Benn, Sequin, Johnson, Duchene, Granny and Parchment. As terrific as Harley has been, having two top tier D-men would be a massive boost both offensively and defensively.Getting Miro back is far more crucial IMO. Our forward group is still one of the best even without Robo. Our defense on the other hand ... not so much. They've been doing a fine job so far, but it will only get worse the longer this series goes. We'll see, but hopefully it's true and we do see Miro back for game 4.
I wonder if Dallas winning game two means giving Miro an extra couple of days? Surely if Dallas was going back to Colorado down 2-0 he'd be in the lineup game 3.
Also, does Colorado dress Gabe for 3?
Sounds like game 4. If they lose last night who knows, maybe they force him a game early.I wonder if Dallas winning game two means giving Miro an extra couple of days? Surely if Dallas was going back to Colorado down 2-0 he'd be in the lineup game 3.

If he's ready for 4, he would have been ready for 3. Frankly, waiting for possibly being down 3-0 against a beast like Colorado while on the road seems almost pointless. If they can somehow get a split on the road I'd hold him out until 5, but that would pretty much require them winning the next game.I would hope if that were the case that Dallas wouldn't want to rush him back anyway, seeing as how it'd probably just make things worse.
As mentioned earlier though the updated timeline has Heiskanen possibly ready to go by Game 4, which sounds very promising.
