RD1 GM6 04/28 @ Minnesota (8:50PM CT) - Bury these whiners

[Troy McClure]

It took a few games for the Stars to realize they should ignore the Wild‘s physical game, but once they did, it was game over.

[Archangel972]

After that performance why are the fans cheering the Wild at the end there? They should boo them!

[SaintAngerBH]

If I'm Guerin, I fire Evason immediately. What an idiot.

[slaps]

It’s weird to see the Stars close out a series and feel like they were clearly the better team almost every step of the way.

[Alyosha0999]

evason wore out his own team

You gotta

[Alyosha0999]

Dumba would make a nice addition here

[SaintAngerBH]

Dumba would make a nice addition here

Only if he makes a formal apology for what he did to Pavelski.

[ScubaSteve]

Great leadership and intangibles from Miro there

He took a knee on the Marchment dagger.

[Alyosha0999]

Dumba might even be that veteran type dman to take more pressure off of Miro?

They were, especially that third period when the Wild really pushed, the Stars held. Even after the Wild scored, they stayed calm and kept playing.

Meh

[Troy McClure]

Also works out well to give Pavelski a few more days to recover.

[Math]

Honestly, It was the game where I was the least nervous. I thought we would be desperately napalmed and blasted, it was barely a light drizzle. And then the Stars took control of the game as usual.

I almost don't think it matters. Their dead cap money goes up $2 million next season because of the funky buyout math. They'll lose Dumba (who is ok but not great) and will have $14 million in dead cap money.

A better coach will help, but their roster will be worse.

No, they need to improve the defense but he's not the answer. The cost and years isn't worth it.

haha This is why I don't go on social media after a playoff round loss.

Klingberg???

Klingberg???

He hates us now.

Also he can't even cover Hintz.

[The Frugal Gourmet]

Still not entirely flaccid after that Hintz goal btw.

Evason is completely clueless, they'd have more success with someone who makes adjustments and works on the team's weaknesses. Evason has never won a playoff series in the AHL or NHL, last year's playoffs was the same for the Wild awful penalty kill. It's not hard for them to have more success with a different coach winning one playoff series.

[Troy McClure]

Dang

When does Johansson become available? Guy was an absolute badass and scariest Wild skater.

That's who I want.

[The Frugal Gourmet]

Dang

I mean it's not like they were favorites in the series and just collapsed or something.

Big *fargin'* deal.

I am Texas Rangers fan (no need to elaborate) and a Cowboys fan (same in that time frame)

and the Dallas Stars have been worse overall than the Wild
in that time frame.

just absolute Whiners up in Minnesota.

[Troy McClure]

I didn't realize Fleury still has another year on his contract.

[ToddM]

Many have called Minneapolis the 'Toronto of the Upper Midwest'.

I also enjoyed how Kiviranta outscored Kaprizov over six games.
