Stupid direct tv now lets me watch the Mavericks and the thunder, but not the Stars tonight.

I had to move to the fox sports go app which is a terrible stream.

I'm so glad that we didn't make that trade for Karlsson.

Stolen from DBD:

Quote:

Ultimately this is a mediocre team and a mediocre franchise. No matter who the talent on the roster is, we've been in the same exact place for 10 years, except for one year of high octane offense under Ruff. The first playoff series against the Ducks was cool, but that's just a bubble team being on the right side of the bubble for once, and nothing more. It amazes me that this team can go from old Brenden Morrow, Mark Parrish, Adam Burish and Jeff Woywitka to Benn, Seguin, and Klingberg, and still be the same exact team in the standings. Something has to give. I feel like this core gets another 2 years and then I wouldn't mind a rebuild. Hell I wouldn't even mind a rebuild after this season, although I know it won't happen with Benn and Seguin just signing extensions in the last two years. It's really frustrating to seemingly have all this talent and then be able to go nowhere with it. In the time that the Stars have been medicore, the Bruins have gone form powerhouse, to bad team, back to a playoff team. The Blackhawks have gone from dumpster team to stanley cup dynasty. The Canucks have gone from mediocre, to Stanley Cup Finalists, to bad, and now to on the rise again. The Sharks have gone from playoff favorite, to choker lightweight team, to playoff favorite, back to choker lightweight team. The Kings have gone from basement team, to two-time champs, back to basement team. All the while, the Stars have remained the same painfully mediocre. Something has to give after this season I would think, unless Nill pulls off a big move mid-season/ at the deadline.


Ouch. Painful but true. :/ I love the Stars but they are nothing if not consistently mediocre.

I was thinking the EXACT same things after another stereotypical Stars performance last night, and how it's getting very tiresome. Losing interest in watching them with the perennial up and then mostly down outings.

I understand every team goes through injuries but losing 4 of your top 6 d-men can ruin a season in a hurry. They are playing through pretty well.

I'm not saying the season is lost, not by a long shot, but the point is still valid. The Stars have been inconsistent for 10 years no matter the personnel. Flashes of brilliance followed by clunkers like last night.

I'll bang the Nill drum again. If the Stars don't make the playoffs this year he should be gone.

"Matthew Barzal is a fun player to watch." I wouldn't know. Our dumbass GM reached on Guri instead and now won't even call him up.

Watched the recording of the game late last night. Ouch. This has been a frustrating season, but I do think this team will be fine in the end.

I enjoy watching Heiskanan play; but is it just me or do the turnovers seem to be accelerating and/or he's having some increased trouble getting the puck through the neutral zone?

I don't know, last night was a cluster in that regard that maybe I shouldn't be singling him out.

A potbanger post from DBD that shares my current sentiments:

This is not a very good team

It's amazing we have the point total that we do since we've been outplayed in so many of those games.
But hey, our GM lucked into an excuse: "we're so injured and inexperienced that we're playing above expectations." You know despite the fact that we looked like this prior to everyone getting hurt. No one is going to remember that in March. We're only gonna remember Bishop, Klingberg, and Radulov getting injured and derailing the season.

Instead of actually adding to our scoring to fix a problem, we get to point the finger at something else. That's something that symbolizes most of Jim Nill's career as our GM.

I'll take the point. Would have been nice to not crap the bed in the 3rd period, though.

Razor was right, tough call to make in their barn.
