WCF GM1 @ Vegas (7:30PM CT) - Trying not to repeat history

[wonko80]

Oertinger scored on himself.

[SaintAngerBH]

I'm glad they got it out of the way fast.

Yep. Can enjoy the rest of my night now.

[Troy McClure]

Marchment just let him bring the puck back out.

[The Frugal Gourmet]

Oertinger scored on himself.

Yes.

Although to be fair he had been out challenging the guy the Stars again left wide open in the slot and was scrambling back. Vegas should’ve scored their wide open chance before that.

[Math]

Damnit Öëttïngër. And where the hell vanished Lindell?

Logical outcome, at least it wasn't a 4OTL.

[5minmajor]

Ok. Stars in 6
Or 7

[wonko80]

Thankfully we can get to the real draw of Griner returning to the WNBA.

[mookie1010]

Right where we want 'em.

[slaps]

Buckle up, little troopers. Looks like one of those series.

Lindell followed his guy behind the net. Marchment dropped down to play D in the correct spot, but he just stood there and watched Howden score with what was essentially a wrap around.

[ToddM]

That's my kind of OTL. Quick, efficient, businesslike.

[Archangel972]

The Stars were mostly outplayed but only lost by 1 in OT.

They haven't lost two in a row yet in this year's playoffs, I expect a way better response in the next one.

Yeah I missed him. So Marchment with a similar defensive job like the Blueger goal.

[ToddM]

We played like dogshit for 3/4ths of the game, and came within a goalie bowling goal and a goalie-scores-on-himself freak play from embarrassing Vegas on home ice.

So basically, no difference thus far from the first two series.

His whole line earned their -3.

[Knives Out]

Oertinger scored on himself.

I feel like he only did that to unleash “Otter after a loss” in Game 2.

[dyhp]

Otter: still has never won a playoff ot game.

lolz

Actually I'm happy because I was really looking forward to watching Brittney Griner play (she's a bonafide hero you know).

[5minmajor]

Otter: still has never won a playoff ot game.

He did stop a breakaway or two,
so there’s that.

[SaintAngerBH]

Vegas is a step up from the other teams we've played. I'm guessing Dallas loses in 6 but I hope I'm wrong.

[B Kat]

Yeah, Vegas was good. They had more energy and were on it from the puck drop. Though the Stars hung tight and pushed back, they weren't the better team last night.

Oettinger was great, but another 4ga. Mainly it's our D. We can't keep playing Miro 30 minutes a night b/c the rest are untrustworthy. As much as you don't want to hear it, we need Hakanpaa back. He has decent attributes. Harley seems to be handling the pressure pretty well, so play him more. Hanley has also managed, but Miller seems a bit outta control.

I think MIro is burning out actually. He's making some pretty glaring mistakes. They need to scale him back some.

[Math]

And thank God Suter is pretty decent this postseason, otherwise the Stars would be in serious trouble. We'll see what Lundkvist and Harley can bring to fill that other top D role but the clock is ticking.

[mookie1010]

I dunno man, Suter looked pretty spare last night.

[Knives Out]

Losing Game 1 in OT is our thing. I wouldn't read too much into it. Game 2 will be the real litmus test.

[The Frugal Gourmet]

I usually read into it a lot and then get proven wrong like two days later. Especially after we lose game three.

Panic or elation is natural. The outcome of each game a perfect predictor of future outcomes.
