Oof. Given how they played vs Montreal, I am NOT looking forward to this one, lol.

It's too easy to expect negative things out of this one so I won't mention much. I'm expecting the score to be pretty ugly is all I'll say, and that's just after 1 period. I think we are about to enter a losing stretch of hockey where we will desperately miss Oettinger and his rebound control. Wedgewood has been good enough so far but we will need better than that tonight

 

[Kcb12345]

Poor Nils lol

i swear some of yall act like this team is in the bottom third of the league. can't imagine that life of misery where the only acceptable thing is for your team to dominate every night or else they suck.

WJ scores again, stars win.

It's probably because outside of a handful of games, the Stars haven't done well against any team with a pulse this season

Colorado 5
Stars 1

 

[Troy McClure]

Tune in tonight to see contenders for the Hart, Norris, Selke, and Art Ross trophies. You can also see players from the Dallas Stars playing as well.

 

[Zapp]

I’m feeling a big game from Dutch tonight

Maybe Mush too

Pavelski is my guess for someone who scores for the Stars, assuming we score some goals tonight he would have at least one you'd suspect given he's been an Avs killer in his career.

[Kcb12345]

I'm a believer

 

[Zapp]

Head rolled off right back to the AHL from that celly

 

[Smelling Salt]

f***ing cringe

 

[catters078]

Colorado aren't playing that hot.

Fell over the line to win in OT vs Islanders at home.

Beat the sharks late on NYE.

Confident the boys will want that November game back and get a win

 

[piqued]

MacKinnon has 61 points? What the f***

 

[AslanRH]

Hoping for a fun game tonight and expect Pavelski to again feed on the Avs.

I might be able to convince the team to let you win if we can leave RyJo with you when we leave

 

[Magic Mittens]

Bet365 has the Avs as underdogs, so I had to throw money on them.

I'm worried about Wedgewood, but this game could go either way

 

[Troy McClure]

MacKinnon has 61 points? What the f***

He has 30 points in his last 14 games (the last month).

someone tell miro that it's actually mcdavid in disguise

 

[Blindsummit]

Can anyone explain to me why Otter has never been placed on IR? This "out" business is killing my fantasy team, carrying him without being able to pick up a replacement.

It's not good for the Stars either

IR would just open up a roster spot, which doesn't provide any help for Dallas. We already had a spare spot.

LTIR would give us the temporary cap relief, but it also has ramifications for cap all season long.

LTIR also means he has to miss a certain number of games (I wanna say 21, but I don't know off the top of my head), and I would imagine that the Stars knew he wasn't going to be injured for quite that long.

 

[LT]

I looked it up. LTIR means a player has to miss 24 consecutive days and/or 10 consecutive games. So he could've gone on LTIR, but there's really nothing gained from doing so.

The cap ramifications are very complicated and not really worth getting into here. If you want to read into it, this is a good resource:

To qualify for LTIR, a player must be expected to miss at least 10 NHL Games AND 24 days of the NHL season When a player is on LTIR, a team may exceed the salary cap. Despite the common misconception, LTIR does not remove a Cap Hit from a team’s overall Cap Hit, it just potentially allows the...

LTIR is typically only gonna be used for seriously long-term injuries (2-3+ months) that last through the end of the season.

Well I do think that the Stars should have been thinking of my fantasy team though, that was the priority .
But seriously thanks for the info, I get it now.

 

[Magic Mittens]

Oh fantastic Avs Announcers
