03/01 vs Coyotes (7:30PM CT) - V2 BUST

[slaps]

Nice to see the league’s worst teams continuing their dominance against the Stars.

[The Frugal Gourmet]

Lucky bounce for Hintz.

[5minmajor]

This team has given up. Nill needs (no-has to) make a big move before tomorrow’s game

[Knives Out]

Robo is so lethargically smooth LOL.

Correct. Sell as many players for draft picks as possible.

[Math]

Is Loui still available?

Agreed, this team is a disaster as it is now....the problem is that can eeek out enough games down the stretch here, make the playoffs and that's probably all they really expected from this group to begin with.

I'm fully on board with a change for the sake of change trade to shake these guys up, but check this out:

Benn
Seguin
Marchment
Pavelski
Lindell
Suter

Those dudes all have full no move protections. And Faksa even has some small trade protection. Even if Nill wants to trade a guy who plays a lot, he has few options.

[The Frugal Gourmet]

Yeah. Didn’t know that.

The situation is definitely hopeless.

[Troy McClure]

Looks like Lundkvist and Marchment got benched.

[The Frugal Gourmet]

They did stupid things.

To me, though, the main problem is the whole team being outhustled again. It helps create this environment.

[Alyosha0999]

The Stars are probably the oldest team in the league, or close to it. Maybe that accounts for the tiredness they seem to have mentally and physically at the moment. It's a dead looking team. Nill needs to bring someone in if possible. But the problem is that the Stars mgmt knows that this is NOT a cup contending team.

[The Frugal Gourmet]

Who can explain why the first line is mostly getting matched by every team they play now? Is the old and tired Pavelski? Time to try someone else?

Definitely need to switch up the lines and see if it ignites things....draw the damn names out of a helmet at this point.

[Knives Out]

I can’t handle all of this negativity on Poncho night.

Try something else? DeBoer?

But yes, Pavelski looks like he went from an ageless wonder to old and broken down over the Christmas break.

[The Frugal Gourmet]

I can’t handle all of this negativity on Poncho night.

Agreed. It’s supposed to be a time of joy and festivity.

[The Frugal Gourmet]

Wow. Haven’t seen that in awhile, Segs.

[ScubaSteve]

You’re still allowed to trade coaches, right?

[Knives Out]

My favourite part about our goals tonight is that we then get to see all of the ponchos in the crowd.

[Knives Out]

Daddy on the scoresheet again.

[The Frugal Gourmet]

Hmm.. our second pp seems almost better than our first these days.

[Troy McClure]

Hmm.. our second pp seems almost better than our first these days.

But don’t dare suggest changing it up.

[The Frugal Gourmet]

It’s getting to the point where I’m excited for the last 40 seconds of the pp because they look so much less predictable.

[Troy McClure]

I never understand why NHL players remove the ear covers from their helmets.

[Knives Out]

Easier to hear the ponchos.

[The Frugal Gourmet]

The Stars have this really weird and frustrating habit lately of not being able to put home amazing chances when the game is tied.

[Knives Out]

It feels like we’re playing with our food?

[The Frugal Gourmet]

It feels like we’re playing with our food?

Same as last game. They really had more than enough chances to pull ahead but….

[Math]

Of course, all these wasted opportunities won't bite us at all later on.
