GDT: Despite what it looked like last night, we are not playing the Maulers tonight, it’s the Stars

[tarheelhockey]

According to NHL.com, Nino’s goal was the first on a slapshot from the wing since 1996.

Nino wearing a suit for his post game interview. Boss move right there.

Ya'll's did. Beat the stars. Cool.

Oh, and during the shootout, Radulov.. aside from being ass ugly, and he plays for the stars, and a few dozen other things one could come up with.. threw some weak-ass shade which is the only kind he can, at Reimer. Who promptly won the game right after. Excellent. Have been but more now a Canes fan. Your coach and fans.. the best.

Yeah, I noticed his greasy ass pointing at Reimer as he was skating back to the bench. That kind of thing falls flat when your captain f***s up the next shot attempt, though.

I was moping with three minutes left, “I cant f***ing believe we blew this.”

The rest is history...

That shot from Nino was Svech-esque. What a bullet!

Same! I would be a stone cold liar to say I thought we were winning with 4 mins left. This team proved me wrong. they mean business. Amazing.

League wide [although I'm not sure what that means given that all play is intra-divisional]

Wait, Florida is good?!

I was thinking Ovechkin, myself . . .

 

[drhiii]

Cripes... may as well add one more and wear out my presence. Your coach Brind'Amour, top shelf. Player, now coach. Have liked a great deal how his teams come to play from puck drop. It is no secret that the Avs often have to play themselves into a game. Is a crap shoot imnsho that a Bednar coached team will be 110% at the start or 62%. Drives me bonkers. Not so with Brind'Amour...

 

[LakeLivin]

Dunno. 8 points against Chicago and Detroit, 3 against CBJ, so they haven't exactly played the best of the Central. We're going to have a lot of chances to see what they're really made of, tho.

 

[tarheelhockey]

Wait, Florida is good?!

Of their 5 games, 3 were against Detroit and Chicago, and 4 went to OT.

They haven’t played us yet.

I don't know if I've ever seen Staal angry.

Any of them.

I heard that Jared has the potential to be the angriest out of all of them.

 

[Wolfpuck]

Can’t spell Dallas without 2 l’s.

How about 8 l’s?

Dallllllllas

 

[drhiii]

That was a damn fine kick save...

 

[Surrounded By Ahos]

Huge props to Skjei and Pesce tonight. Dallas had five powerplays. 10 minutes on the man advantage.

Skjei and Pesce each played over 7:30 minutes shorthanded.

Coincidentally, we were 5 for 5 on the penalty kill.

Wrong forum.. watching the Avs be their usual 'who shows up' mediocre self.

Skjei always seems to forget that he’s a defenseman when he’s driving the net like a power forward, but he remembered tonight, for sure.

 

[A Star is Burns]

While I think some of Skjei's gaffes have been overblown in his time here, man, he's looked comfortable these last few games. I don't know if it's the new pairing or just having more time in the system, but he looks good. I do wonder if they'll go back to the original pairs when Slavin comes back.

It's also kind of nice that Bean has looked pretty good even if he's clearly still growing into the NHL game. Nice to know we at least go 7 deep on the back end with guys we can rely on.

I'll be very excited to get some of the covid guys back on Tuesday (presumably), but it'll be interesting to see how they respond to game action after even more time off and potentially even less activity than the guys that were off 9 days before Tampa. After getting a sweep in these last 3 games, at least the decision to give them plenty of practice time before throwing them back in is looking brilliant.
