My biggest concern is it looks like Marchment is not 100% and maybe Duchene also. They don't look like they did earlier in the season. Obviously the PP is very concerning also, but I still think Dallas is a very good team.
I agree. I'm hoping a lot of it was just not clicking with Stankhoven. As much as I love his energy and hustle, his style of play just didn't seem to be working with theirs.
I think it was also Blackwell that went all out on that one PK and dove on the ice to poke check the puck out, right? Definitely a big night for him. Istg, we’ve got to get the PP going though.
I have so many concerns for this team right now. Looking at NHL edge, dallas doesn't look good in the speed category, is this a concern? Because I feel like everytime we go against colorado or edmonton its always our lack of speed thats making us lose every single 50-50 board battle and puck race, and thats why these two teams have dominated play basically everytime we met them. I mean sure we have roope but that's only one guy (also does roope's lack of stickhandling ability pose a problem for his overall game?) Also why is Miro getting rammed by a random 4th line forechecker almost every game
What if Dallas dumped dumba, put seguin on LTIR, picked up palmeri and granlund both as rentals, send down borque and beck, Had Robertson, hintz, palmeri Marchment, duchene, granlund Johnson, benn, stankoven/dadonov Blackwell, steel, stankoven/dadonov Now imagine seguin comes back in the playoffs. Blackwell or dadonov would fall off.
Thanks Joey, Merry Christmas to you, and all Stars Fans!

They are about a 6 right now. That might be generous but with the talent they have it should be better
Just can’t get the PP working.
