GDT: [Game #21] Dallas Stars @ Chicago Blackhawks – 7:30 PM CT (Victory+)

[Troy McClure]

Dumba f***ing sucks.

 

[Kcb12345]

Cant defend worse than that

 

[Rompane]

Lmao get DeSmith out of there. This is getting embarrassing.

Has been embarrassing from the start of the game. No need to ruin Oettinger too. This is lost game.

 

[Henderson33]

Otter going to be run into the ground once again this season.

 

[Troy McClure]

Holy shit. Nill gave DeSmith a three year deal. I completely forgot. Man, it's amazing how Nill has struggled with most every one of his backup goalie signings.

 

[JeffP]

Bronx Cheer, etc

 

[starsfan86]

Nill should be fired after this terrible offseason.

He won’t tho

I know this game is frustrating, but come on lol

Fortunately, I had a hockey game and haven’t been able to watch any of the game. Sounds like a doozy.

 

[JeffP]

Without looking at the stats, I think Harley has looked pretty good this game

 

[The Tourist]

Why am I still watching this game?

 

[Smelling Salt]

Are Johnston and Robertson still out of the lineup

 

[Troy McClure]

Why am I still watching this game?

Obligation.

 

[Kcb12345]

Yay a goal

 

[Troy McClure]

Are Johnston and Robertson still out of the lineup

Hmmm…. Now ask about Benn.

 

[starsfan86]

Hmmm…. Now ask about Benn.

He’s been a huge disappointment so far this season. Poor Stank. Hopefully he gets going like he usually does at the end of the season.

 

[The Tourist]

Well that was fun. Probably wouldn't have played Miro over 24 minutes in a game that was over before midway through the 2nd.

 

[starsfan86]

Still preseason boys

 

[piqued]

Smith-Dumba simply cannot be put on the ice in the NHL. I don't know what to tell you. Back to the drawing board everyone.

 

[Sports2]

The guy who punched and spit on a woman also not being particularly good at his job being signed for 3 years is kind of funny in the context of how it isn’t even factored into most peoples estimation of the Stars offseason as a failure.

 

[Elysian]

Glad I missed this one. I see Dumba had the lowest ice time and a healthy -3

 

[BigTomBomber]

Holy shit. Nill gave DeSmith a three year deal. I completely forgot. Man, it's amazing how Nill has struggled with most every one of his backup goalie signings.

you can bury that whole contract in the AHL whenever you want. All it does is waste $1m/yr of Gags money

Its a great contract in that regard

 

[redbeardtx]

Should have traded for Mrazek last night and had him on the plane ride back with us

 

[Optimistic Cynic]

When did Dumba pass his Sell By date? Discuss.

 

[piqued]

I don't agree with the generic veteran backup strategy in general which is obviously Nill's preferred route. I think you want a younger guy (younger than your starter) who sees himself as a future starter. You need that drive, or pushing from below even if they also struggle at times.
