Down here in Texas they are hugely popular. Their AHL team is very well run. They rarely rush players. You can make an argument that they are top 5 of the best managed organizations. Several of their best players were drafted and developed in house.

I miss Dave Gagner and Jon Casey and the north stars unis
Most likely a loss today, we also suck early January

Question of the day- will Matheson acknowledge Slaf on the PP and maybe even pass him the puck once in a while?

Very possible.
Let's face it- good teams have veterans that produce, the Habs have so much dead weight amongst the vets that it is amazing they are almost at .500.
Gallagher 22 games without a goal.

Could be.............................not sure about other goalies around the league played like pee wee goalies though?
Don't get me wrong, I am a fan of Monty.....but he was bad. Goalies can be the reason you win games, and the reason you lose games..........
Dallas' drafting sucked for a few years. They somehow hit a goldmine in 2015 and 2017, drafting Oettinger, Roberston, and Hintz way outside the top-10 and picking Heiskanen #3OA.
Plus, their vets refuse to die. It's a talented and very balanced roster.
I remember when some on this board thought Bergevin was a better GM than Jim Nill, the Dallas GM!! LOL
To be fair to the Habs though, the Stars are in obscurity compared to the habs.............and Bergevin bowed down to the media on many occasions on the what not to do choices.
The Dallas GM can just do his job, and not worry about media and fans hollering....

For real, Pavelski is like 200 years old and is still out pointing everyone on our roster.

Dallas will keep us to the outside and play a heavy game, an easy win for them but on a positive note, I predict that Slafkovsky will score. 4-2 Stars.
Bobby Smith was Minnesota North Sars................Modano was a big star, played both Minnesota and Dallas..........
Habs are the only team in the league incapable of playing a heavy game. Uncanny.
The guy is a freak.............amazing goal scorer....he is getting up there eh!!

I agree with that. What they've managed to build when they were the laughing stock for getting so many older players is great. Hintz, Robertson and Heiskanen hitting big time changed everything.
We have some guys who could, Anderson, Armia, Dvo, Slafkosky..............but it just doesn't translate at all.............
We have Gally, who is a heavy breather after 25 seconds on the ice........that doesn't translate to much either................22 games and counting, all the while pulling in 8M bucks this year.
I can only imagine the Gally salary and the chatter behind closed doors with HuGo and Mol$on.
Jamie Benn drafted in 2007 and is still an effective Captain.
I noticed that Suzuki was being double shifted as a centre occasionally last game, but didn't realize which player was missing. Dvorak makes hockey worse as a player.
