They're missing Joe's leadership too

[SaintAngerBH]

God. Marchment is awful.

[The Frugal Gourmet]

Stars just getting crushed in this one.

[SaintAngerBH]

Harley with a ridiculous pinch there.

[Troy McClure]

Oettinger thought it was a goal.

[slaps]

Jesus this period is taking forever.

[Knives Out]

They're hitting a lot of posts like we were in Game 1.

Here come the third period Stars with that dreaded 3-1 lead in play ...

[SaintAngerBH]

I know this is a weird guy to pick on but Seguin has been invisible the whole series.

[dyhp]

Looks like Sunday is going to be the biggest game in NHL history.

[wonko80]

Isn't Marchment supposed to be our Foglino?

Yeah, he tries to play the same way, but he’s not as good. A real whiff by Nill.

Only three more years of him!

[Troy McClure]

I know this is a weird guy to pick on but Seguin has been invisible the whole series.

His leg injuries have robbed him of all speed and explosiveness. His hands are still there, but when he can’t win puck races or most physical battles, it’s pretty limited how he can contribute now. On this top line, he’s a big downgrade from Pavelski. Pavelski also isn’t fast, but he’s a big dude and can win puck battles.

I’d say switch things up to out a faster guy in Seguin’s spot, but there just isn’t much speed in the Stars forward group. I don’t know who else to put there.

Yeah. I guess it was nearly a decade ago now that we got him, but it's difficult to watch this iteration of Seguin. It's like Modano in 2009. It was just sad to watch.

[B Kat]

Win a period, win a hockey game. Two goals, not insurmountable.

[The Frugal Gourmet]

This is actually just how Seguin has always been in the playoffs

[The Frugal Gourmet]

If they play completely differently.

Hopefully Minnesota does not maintain their present strategy of dominating every aspect of the game.

[SaintAngerBH]

Foligno is such a douche. Hope he gets a concussion.

Foligno would be your fav player if he played for the Stars

Yeah. That's fair.

[The Frugal Gourmet]

lol 16 shots for dallas so far

[SaintAngerBH]

The Wild don't look as good this period.

[The Frugal Gourmet]

The Wild don't look as good this period.

yeah they suck. it why dallas has 0 chances through 6 minutes while trailing in a playoff game.

[SaintAngerBH]

Nice move by Benn to just throw it away to the point like that...

[The Frugal Gourmet]

Really the Wild should be shutting out dallas right now. They've been that bad.

[SaintAngerBH]

I'm not feeling great about this series now. If they drop this game, I don't think they come back to win.

[ToddM]

The Wild look ok, but the number of self-inflicted injuries from the Stars is just comical. Robo's been absolutely invisible save one missed net in the first period, Hintz with zero shots, and no one on our D remembers how to make a single outlet pass.

Really, Minnesota should be up by at least 4 or 5 if not more. But they're really not that good, so...

[Alyosha0999]

Deboer should put Johnston up with Hintz and Robo

[The Frugal Gourmet]

I'm not feeling great about this series now. If they drop this game, I don't think they come back to win.

Yeah the Wild were favored tonight to win by Vegas. Not much difference in the regular season between these two teams

[Alyosha0999]

gustaffson has outplayed oetter too

[The Frugal Gourmet]

Really, Minnesota should be up by at least 4 or 5 if not more. But they're really not that good, so...

Eh they're really not trying that hard offensively or taking any risks. Just taking the easy win.

[SaintAngerBH]

Yeah. I'm predicting Wild in 5 now. Maybe 6.

[SaintAngerBH]

Yeah. Wild in 5.

[Knives Out]

Embarrassing. Let's just make sure that we even up the series before heading back to Dallas.
