9/25 SCF Game 4 vs Tampa (7PM CT) - ONE HEADLIGHT(NING)

Hopefully Khudobin is not brought back, so Nill will sign him for 2-3 years.

[BigAl]

It’s frustrating to lose that way, but I had little confidence in our chances anyway. We really needed to come out and dominate this game. Instead it felt like we were lucky to not get blown out again.

[Troy McClure]

Also the reason their power play got 3 goals is they are that good. It's a part of the game and Dallas has failed at it.

Yeah, the Stars got a couple of PPs by Seguin skating with the puck in the offensive zone. It would be nice if they would try that in the first period.

After the series we will learn that Heiskanen has four broken ribs, a perforated lung, two dislocated shoulders and three broken wrists. He can't do anything, not even trying to shoot.

We have them right where we want them. Three game winning streak coming!

The problem is Bishop is not reliable. He can barely handle a reduced workload. They need a backup they can trust.

I guess we’ll see who plays tomorrow.

When did he take that cross check to the ribs at the end of a game?

It was against Vegas because of Marchessault. All his Marchessault's fault. Always.

[slaps]

Also of note, Cooper is very much out-coaching Bowness.

[ScubaSteve]

Sad Jamie in the penalty box after blowing a game in the Stanley Cup Finals will be his legacy as captain.

It will be rusty Bishop, then Khudobin will come in. Khudobin is probably tired but he hasn't been good in the playoffs. A bigger goalie in net prevents some of Tampa's goals in the series.

If Bishop wasn't going to start game four I would have started Oettinger in game four.

Stars will probably just add someone in place of Hintz probably Faksa, where Tampa will add in some fresh players and it will be over.

The Stars style of play makes it easy for a goalie, it's not going to be like the past when they couldn't find a goalie.

Much rather keep Sekera than Khudobin.

That's a given.

[Math]

Who would've thought that, but the injuries of Faksa and Comeau hurt this team a *fargin'* lot.

And now Hintz.

No way the Stars can recover from that.

Faksa being out hurt the PK, but it's a combination of things and Khudobin.

In the playoffs in overtime penalties should be automatically reviewed.

[Math]

Indeed. So many other factors as well.

Probably the last time we have this ref duo at that level.

[Knives Out]

This *fargin'* team.

Me.

Rare that an OT loss feels like a total beating, but it was. TB is the better team across the board.

It was a good run, and very fun.

That was an absolute bullshit call. It’s garbage that it cost the Stars the game.
