I don’t give Suter a pass for being better in the playoffs. He had a low bar to clear and he’s still bad.

Not as bad as Hakanpaa though.

I mean I don't think anyone needs to be given a pass. We are using the best players we have and if we can find better ones for next season we will.

Chelios nearly swallowed his tongue by tripping over Miro's name. They've all clearly been corrected to say Hey-skanen and stop with the High-skanen pronunciation.

I agree with you. That play should get anyone benched. He just stood there in the slot after he coughed it up and watched it go right by him. It's one thing to turn it over, but to just stand there and watch afterward is ridiculous.

And when they do player evaluations that’s the kind of play they need to look at when deciding what to do with Suter.

That was a perfectly executed play by two of the best players alive. No defenseman stops that.

I thought we were taking about the turnover as the mistake.

The most annoying commercial going is the Geico lamps one where they blare a loud goal horn ten times. *f-bomb* you, Geico.

And worse: that mistake came from a guy that has almost 1,200 NHL games under the hood.

I don't even like Suter. It's just think the board is hilarious after each and every goal.

Every player makes lots of mistakes all game.

Sometimes the world's best players capitalize.

The mistake is that he didn't take the pick and keep turning the direction he was already turning and then just fling it out of the zone. But he did what many, many players on the Stars do, and that is to overly rely on Miro and just throw the puck his way if they are pressured at all.

A perfect play made much easier by the fact that Suter just stood there and watched the pass. He didn't even try to stop it.

Severyn may be right that he was caught looking but so you know fast that play is? Try watching it not in slow motion.

It's not that he missed the pass. It's that he didn't even try. It's like he didn't even care.

Doesn't matter now. 2-0 is pretty much lights out. This is the worst OT team I've ever seen.

Seriously, I just stepped out of the room and when I walked back in and saw Vegas celebrating I thought they had just replayed the OT goal from the previous game.

What a weird reversal. The Stars were normally rock solid in OT.
