Dallas Stars 2014-2015 Season thread

Yep hope so the guy is giving up 3-4 goals a game. Tough to win like that. I think vancouver gets the best of Dallas tonight. 70 percent of people think so so it may be another tough night for the stars

The problem is that rynnas and lindback have the same problem I feel like lehtonen is much more effective at one on ones and making tough saves. We beat vancuover last meeting, but only because of some really good offense the first and second period. Should be a good game.

Big problem with Lindback and Rynnas is they're not able to spend enough in the net after being called up to the NHL. The NHL is a faster paced game and it's hard to expect minor leaguers to come up for a game or two and jump right into it. You have very few that can make that happen at the drop of a hat. I do agree with Nill sending Lindback back down to the AHL to get some ice time under his belt and build his confidence back up but it's a moot point if he's not getting the practice time on the ice up here in Dallas.

Lindback is coming back up to start next game

Lehtonen plays a good game and we win. Shots kept under 30. Offense was lacking today and defense was shakey but lehtonen gives us the w

stars played good goal tending was there lets hope it continues.

Soooo we've won 8/10, things are looking pretty good

Yeah, they've really turned it around lately. Looking good regarding playoff seeing too. We moved up to 10th tonight beating Minnesota 7-1. There's a bunch of teams bunched up though. 6 points separates the Stars from 10th place and 4th place...and positions 4-6 have all played 2 more games than the Stars. If the Stars stay hot, they could really make a move in the next week or two. They play the Blackhawks tomorrow night on a back to back up in Chicago. That will not be an easy game.

Yep, need to go in and beat Blackhawks tonight- I'll wager if we can do that we will make the playoffs. Also Nashville will be a good indicator too. Beating good teams definitely helps out. I'm excited about what shlemko brings to the table too

[mustang_marc]

Follow up to the stressful Cowboys game is a stressful Stars game. 4-4 with 2 mins left in regulation.

[mustang_marc]

It's been an exciting game, but the Stars blew a 4-3 lead with three minutes to go. Now we're headed to OT. At bare minimum, they got a point. Can't complain about that when playing in Chicago.

[mustang_marc]

Chicago was relentless in OT. Damnit.

[Captain Crawfish]

Nashville gonna beat dallas. I'm also taking winnipeg over 5 and the Chicago Blackhawks for the win. Really going to focus on NHL this month. I know toronto is hurting bad they look like shit

[Captain Crawfish]

Did anybody watch Florida Panthers last night? Luongo or whatever his name is was strong he could have blocked anything he was sharp.

[Cobraman]

Can't really be upset about blackhawks or preds losses- those are two of the best teams in the NHL and we hung with them with ease and got a point in each. Overall things look good just need to close out some games and get the power play churning again. We will be in the hunt for playoffs- we look decent.


QIK46: I really only pay attention to the stars

[Captain Crawfish]

Stars should get the Avalanche today. 1 to 0 already
