Thats a really soft goal, you cannot allow that to go in from a guy who is basically falling down as he shoots

Not even two games in so take this with a grain of salt, but this series reminds me so much of when the Avs swept the Oilers in '22. It didn't matter what Edmonton did, the Avs just had a answer for everything.

Still a lot of hockey left to play though. That was the first period this series Dallas looked even remotely dangerous.

I know hockey is way too random for these easy narratives but that goal after so much PP time for the Stars might jyst be the series.

Dallas just doesn't inspire any confidence at all

They had a decent period just couldn't really capitalize. They had much more sustained pressure in the Avs zone and drew some calls.
 

Stanley Cup Playoffs - Round 1, Game 2​



Shawn Spencer: [bursts into the SBPD office] Gus, I'm sensing something. I'm sensing... ice. And sticks. And a bunch of dudes with missing teeth.
Gus: That's just hockey, Shawn.
Shawn: No, no. I'm sensing something more specific. [puts hand to temple] The spirits are telling me that tonight, MacKinnon is going to dangle through the entire Stars team like they're standing still. And Nuke? The spirits say he's going to score so many goals, they'll need to check his stick for actual magic.
Gus: You can't just make predictions like that, Shawn.
Shawn: I've heard it both ways.
Lassiter: [walks in wearing Stars gear] Spencer, what are you doing here?
Shawn: The real question, Lassie, is what are YOU doing in Stars apparel? That's the real crime here.
Lassiter: I appreciate defensive structure and disciplined systems. The Stars play proper hockey.
Shawn: [gasps dramatically] You take that back! The Avs play hockey the way pineapples taste. Sweet, tangy, and impossible to resist.
Gus: You know that's right.
Shawn: The Stars have about as much chance tonight as Pluto has of being reinstated as a planet.
Gus: [looking genuinely hurt] Shawn, you know that's still a sore subject for me. Pluto was done dirty. That's messed up.

Game Info​

When: 7:30 PM MT
Where: American Airlines Center, Dallas, TX
TV: ESPN, ALT2, Victory+

Keys to the Game​

Shawn: [still with hand to temple] I'm sensing the Avs need to do three things to win tonight:
  1. I'm seeing... a man with a C on his chest... he needs to be in tonight! The spirits say if Landy plays, Dallas doesn't stand a chance.
  2. Wait, wait, I'm getting something else... a wall. A wall made of... pads and a glove? Blackwood needs to channel his inner Patty Roy and be absolutely unflappable.
  3. And finally... power! Power... play! Yes! The Avs' power play needs to be more effective than Gus's Super Sniffer.
Gus: Shawn, that's not how any of this works.
Shawn: I've heard it both ways.

Pre-Game Psych-Out​

Shawn: [addressing the Stars through the locker room door] Hey Dallas! You know what they say about Stars? They're just big balls of hot air! And they're millions of miles away! Just like your chances of winning tonight!
Gus: [pulling Shawn away] That doesn't even make sense, Shawn!
Shawn: It doesn't have to make sense, Gus. It just has to be in their heads!

Hopefully word gets out that Otter has been the most overrated goalie in the league since his Calgary series a few years ago
 
Not watching the game, am on the LA vs Oilers. But Stars really seem to have a hard time finding their game.

Avs fans posted that all the time last year and you still lost. That is just Dallas.
 
There is an argument to be made to go to Desmith for game 3. Same GAA of 2.59 and a save percentage of .919 to jake's .909. Try and change momentum..
