When I first saw the Stars avatars I wondered what the f*** was going on. I went on their board, saw what was going on and thought fair enough, that's actually quite funny.
Jamie Benn is a piece of shit and I wish him nothing but the misery he deserves.

Just caught up. Fellas, if Landy was half the captain we’re being told he is, he’d lace up tonight and prove it. Knee’s a hell of a long way from the heart. Tough scene.

Nah, we deserve itBetter to have won one than to never have won one at all, like what will happen to Benn
Benn rules
One thing I haven't seen mentioned but surprises me is that the Avs D is playing so soft. Looking at the Stars goals Monday, no Avs D were near them in front of the net. We'll, not on the Miro softie or EN, but the others.
Either they don't coach D, the players forgot, or they just don't care.

They didn't have Toews, so kind of makes sense for Monday.

If Colorado is eliminated tonight, that’s bad news for the other western series

f***. I wanted to read "we just gotta get pucks in deep, play to the whistle don't give up odd many rushes and we should come out with the 2 points."

And that deserves him getting booed FIVE years after the fact? Good lord, get over yourselves. He didn't wanna be on a garbage losing team anymore.
"Not looked upon favorably" just admit you and the fans hate the guy because he didn't quite live up to his draft billing, and he was tired of being scapegoated for a horrible team.
Are you suggesting the DoPS unfairly targets Landeskog and protects Benn? LMFAO, there's an excuse for everything, isn't there?

It would be sad to see Colorado go, but it might be for the best for Dallas to win it out tonight.
Go Stars!
Go Stars!

Heres the problem with this series. Its about Generals fighting old wars when things might have changed.
In 2021, the downfall was stubbornly forcing zone entries on the stick of one person. The adjustment was the outlet on the zone entry. Its just unfortunate this adjustment was made once the series was over.
The problem this time. The Avs have overtly emphasized dumping and chasing to the point where they lost their identity. Was it because Bednar emphasized the 5D or was it because Bednar galaxy brained a so-called solution?
The fact that that the Avs were so heavily dedicated to dump and chase calls things into question.
The best flow the Avs had in the last three games of this series was the last 30 minutes when they were desparate. Guys were sometimes foregoing dump and chase and they were getting space off neutral zone entries. They need to score still but the sample size is small vs the dump and chase tactic that was pounded into them by a coach/general who was overcompensating for past wars.
The players have been put in a position to overcome the skeletons in the closet of their coach.
The answer for the Avs was the Cornhuskers offense of the 90s. If you never hand the ball to the fullback, the perimeter option becomes easier to defend. But if you only hand the ball to the fullback the perimeter option becomes ineffective. The answer was always in between. Not one or the other. Hopefully they learned from the last game. But it doesnt seem that way.
Bednars answer to yesterdays war has been "hand the ball to the fullback".
