It would be 1 thing if it was just a slump a week or two. They've been garbage since February. I can't recall 1 team we've outplayed since Miros injury.
And getting outplayed by this garbage ass wild team is a huge red flag
Could brush it off if they at least looked good and got bad results.

Everyone has outplayed us, badly for 2 months
And yet we are still (climbed our way up) in the race for the President's trophy. I'm not saying people can't be uninspired by their play, but I'm not gonna jump off the cliff until we're on the edge.

The edge was getting outplayed by a lotto roster wild team
 
So much doom and gloom here. The division still pretty much is on the line with the game against the Jets. The Jets, who lost to the f***ing Utah Jazz last night.

Everyone take a chill pill, it's not playoffs yet.

Has this team shown any reason to believe they'll change and win that game? Been one of the worst defensive teams (besides goaltending) since 4 nations. Back to back losses against bad teams

Coaching staff won't change lines, PP is dead again, defenders can't move the puck
 
There is no magic switch. momentum is everything and the Stars have none.

Where are we in the standings? Besides the last 2 games, they've found ways to win games, you know, the only thing that matters.
 
Our PP is atrocious. This leads me to think the issue is with coaching. We have too much talent on the offensive side of the puck to be out shot by the wild 41-25. Miro or not we should be able to go toe to toe with any team offensively.

Look at our opponents since the 4 nations though. By far the easiest schedule in the NHL since then and our losses have come to the only legit playoff teams we've faced (and now 2 bad teams as well back to back). We were dominated against those good teams too

You are not being realistic, this is just the beginning of the losses. have you not seen them actually playing the games for the last month?

The game is played on the ice, and we've been winning and have one of the best records since the 4 nations. I'm not thrilled with their play, but this team is one of the best in the league and yes they can turn it on at any time. Will they? I'm not saying yes for sure, but I'm definitely not taking it as guarantee'd no like a lot of the people here.

I've been watching them do what they need to do, which is win.

Wonder what your excuse will be if we get dummied in the first round ☺️

I see Colorado also lost to minnesota in overtime since 4-nations. They also lost to Nashville and Calgary. Lucky for us they must also be total dogshit. There may be light at the end of this atrocious 110 point season

Coaching may be an issue. Have the coaches "lost" the players?

I wouldn't need an excuse because I never claimed it couldn't/wouldn't happen. If they play the Avs in the 1st round without Miro (that part is pretty much certain), then yea, I'm worried and expecting a loss.

But I'm not gonna give up and act like we're automatically losing with stats like this:
GF: 5th
GA: 3rd
PK: 2nd
PP: 15th
Standings: 3rd

Colorado also dominated those games. And have been outshooting every team they play. We are getting great goaltending right now

I hope they prove me wrong and I’ll be the first to admit it. Just don’t have a ton of confidence in them at the moment.
 
Yup but a month ago we were 1 in PK and 4 in PP and winning puck battles on the boards and making passes out of our zone.

Yeah if they play this lazy and slow in the playoffs and lose in the first round, then they should probably part ways with this coaching staff. It’s a cup or bust year.

It's definitely bust.
This team isn't winning a 7 game series against the refalanche.

Got to beat the refs and the Avs, with Miro it's hard enough, without, 0 chance
