I’m ok with benching Dumba. He made a bone head play that lead to a goal against. But we expect that from him. If DeBoer wants to send a message, scratch Roope or some of the highest paid players. Dumba’s physicality is something we need. Dumba and Smith jumped in for Marchment against Florida without hesitation. They clear the crease in front of otter. Hitchcock didn’t hesitate to sit a top player if they were struggling and would take them off the power play.
Hey Joey, always a great podcast, thanks! No need to apologize for working your butt off, how can we possible hold it against you?! lol Shooting Star will be Stankoven!
Dumba has been exactly what I thought. Disappointing. Knew he wasn’t a Stars type of player. He was a necessity hire. Not a required hire. He filled a void. He can go any time. We won’t be missing anything, other than his bone head passed and plays. He’s Klingberg 2.0 we will be a better team as soon as he’s gone. We’ve got plenty of young D men ready to come up and take a spot. Bring on Bischel
I would like to see Pete trying out Harley/lungvst from time to time. I wanna see if they have chemistry together. If you can offload ok completely from miro that’s a lot of minutes off of his time card Also, it might be time to hear how Emil and Liam are doing. I was looking at the roster and it’s actually going to be a complicated offseason, and if either of those guys are ready it makes it a lot less confusing. Sam, Oscar, Matt, and dadonov will be very hard to keep
Everything you said about Dumbo was right on I noticed it right away he seems to be weak because he must not work out as hard as he should and that's why he is taking those penalties i see him reaching instead of skating, all the signs Evan undisciplined workout regimen and I was angry because he has the build two with working out properly be great. look at a player like Duchesne he doesn't have a body that is perfect for hockey but he sure as heck makes up for in all the prep and workouts he does I was very happy to see Dumba get a healthy scratch play for your teammates or you won't be part of the team
I'm less concerned about defense and more concerned about our ability to score against the better teams. Guys like Robo, Hintz, and Johnson need to be more consistent.
Roope and Robo have been disappointing so far this year. There was a drop off in play with the whole top line last year, and maybe we can attribute that to Pavs age. But this year they've played with the enthusiastic Johnson and Stankoven and still just not having an impact on the game. Roope is too good to be this much of a non-factor and Robo keeps coughing the puck up and we all know he doesn't have the speed to make up for his mistakes, which is fine when he's scoring, but he's not. I think they just need to take more shots and have somebody with a great net front presence. Maybe Heiskanen attacking more will help then, cuz he was fantastic last game~really opened up the offense more.
I disagree. Right now, they aren’t in sinc and playing with confidence, that magnifies everything. Hard to watch when they play like that. I will say that Robo and Roope hang thier heads waaaay to much for professional athletes.

Gotta figure out how to get top line going
Great. Now do this against a good team

Dutchy’s bigger than you think.

Can you imagine if this game was at home 😂

It means nothing. When the Stars play teams with men on them they fold.
