Nothing we can do about it now just gotta focus and correct our mistakes. I don't blame Thomas for the Calgary collapse, that was solely a defensive breakdown and getting outplayed. I'm being generous when I say it was a less than stellar performance from Tim in the shootout. He had a remarkable save on the first attempt but lost it all in the remainder. We need to help our goalies out more support during the games by not breaking down and by being more efficient with all the scoring chances we have especially breakaways.

I definitely agree with a previous post in that Thomas is a strong comparison to Turco. I just feel he is a great competitor and I feel confident that our goaltending can get us into the playoffs we just have to perform like we are capable of doing in front of them.

Guess who choked for the Stars again??? Our boy Alex Goligoski! I dont understand what everyone sees in him? His offensive skills are not worth the lack of defense and the amount of goals he is responsible for giving up. When is everyone else gonna see this too????!!!

2 more periods and we need 2 points. And im watching this game at my grandpa's house with digital rabbit ears and it keeps lagging and cutting out. Needless to say im frustrated.

This is what the Stars have done the last few seasons. They make a push but fade at the end. Not that anyone notices because nobody goes to the games.

Another inspired effort...

I listened to the second period on the radio before turning it off in disgust (5-2). Our defense once again rears its ugly head (I'm looking at you Daley and Goligoski). One would think two of the most experienced Dmen on the team would not suck so much dick, but you would be wrong. And although definitely not all his fault, I am officially off the TT bandwagon.

About the only good thing that happened was Seguin got to 30 goals and Val finally got back on the score sheet with an assist. I don't know if it is a good thing or not that the Pens game is on TXA21 again on Tuesday.

We have had ****ty defense for five years. We have also not made the playoffs in five years. In this case I believe correlation does imply causation.

This team badly needs Oleksiak to figure it out and be a fixture of the defense next year. Patrik Nemeth needs to get to the NHL as well. This team will never have a good enough defense with Goligoski playing 25 to 30 minutes a game. Bump him down to the second or third pair where he won't be over exposed.

As far as this stretch run goes, well I think they are already missing the presence of Raptor Jesus Peverley.

This team will never compete with Alex Goligoski playing at all...


I'm assuming with the lack of a move for real help on defense at the trade deadline that Nill is gambling on making/missing the playoffs next year and will assess all his options during free agency?

I know the season is still going but man am I excited to see what Nill can do to load the Stars up with young talent in the draft. The guy is brilliant when it comes to spotting talent (or at least his scouts are).

I think the lack of a move was because there wasn't a move to be made without sacrificing building-block type pieces. You don't make that kind of trade unless you're guaranteed a playoff spot with a chance to win it all.

Regardless of how this shakes out down the stretch, this team is obviously getting better, and I trust Nill to build this thing into a contender.
