GDT: [Game #34] Dallas Stars vs. Minnesota Wild –7.00 PM CT (Victory+)

[piqued]

We've got to start talking about firing the coaching staff.

 

[Blindsummit]

Coaching staff should be gone. Losers.

I mean Otter completely gave up. He was still on the far side post by the time the puck went into the net. Just absolutely pathetic performance by him. Single handedly lost us the game

I can’t believe an NHL goalie moves that terrible lol

 

[piqued]

Start DeSmith for a week straight

No compete at all

Oettinger has been mid ever since he got the Team USA nod.

1)He was awful
2)Power play was awful and had the chance to put the game out of range
3)Top line invisible.

Oh and Minnesota was without their top 2 forwards.

Looking forward to hearing Deboer say "oh the break makes it very very hard for us". Loves his excuses

Dallas an extremely mid team this year. Nill waiting till post 4 nations could sink this team

f***ing nerd scores

No he’s just fat and lazy like a lot of the other big money players on the team.

 

[Blindsummit]

Coaching staff have to go and some players have to follow. No heart, no guts, losers.

I don't understand how this team can look good for most of the game at even-strength and then somehow always find a way to come up short

I was happy with our play through 40 mins (minus the PP). That Brodin goal really deflated this team

Also, I don't know that there is a trade that can be made to fix our scoring issues. We'd need to acquire an all-around star player, not just another top 6 guy. We need an Eichel. This team is not going to be a genuine contender until we get a player like that

How did everyone else see that wraparound coming from a mile away except for our goaltender? Watching the replay Otter just completely gives up once Faber goes behind the net

 

[Blindsummit]

And on cue the V+ team are pushing the narrative, that it was all down to Gustavson

 

[redbeardtx]

He got his, who gives a f*** about winning games anymore

I was screaming at the TV, wondering what the hell he was doing. he just froze, staring off to the distance. Unbelievable.

Soft coaches, soft team, culture of mediocrity.

 

[redbeardtx]

Apparently our strategy changed from "turtle in the 3rd period" to "just completely give up, quit trying, and see what happens"

 

[Blindsummit]

Other teams see issues and attempt to address them. Colorado and goaltending for instance. We do nothing.

 

[Blindsummit]

Anything other than a convincing win against Chicago and the coaching staff should be fired. Nill will never do that though.

 

[Henderson33]

Facebook fans think we should sign Ott & Morrow to show these youngins' how it's done.

Personally would bring back Robidas as well!

 

[Elysian]

Start DeSmith for a week straight

So we can lose for a week straight?

 

[piqued]

has to be done

I don't like your posts ... especially when we lost

Randomly replying to this Otter bash post (could have been any of the others.....)but I take it none of you saw that Otters left leg was pinned between his own defenseman and the net, which is why he couldn't move?

Watched it like 20 times and not seeing that, sorry. He also dropped down like 3 seconds too soon to get him in that position in the first place.

Well, it sounds like you are well qualified to be an NHL ref! (no offense intended) It shows up better from behind the net. Unlike some here, I don't believe Jake is fat or lazy. He sometimes drops early or plays too deep in the net, but I take exception to the bleach bozos who somehow think any of these guys are trying or just don't care. I just don't see it.

I do agree that this team hasn't yet built the mental toughness that seemed to be a staple of the last two years. The Brodin goal shouldn't have undone the team. I mean, it's rare to pitch a shutout and they have let other teams get within a goal in the past, without folding.

Lacking some replacement for the talent they lost (Pavs, Seguin, Tanev, and now maybe Marchment) and it seems some of the swagger they had as well.
