September 9, 20205 yr Benn is doing what he needs to do. Seguin's complete disappearing act is the biggest issue. Rads takes dumb penalties but is a push because he usually puts up points to end up even.
September 9, 20205 yr Multiple opportunities for Vegas on OUR power play. We look like a bad, beer league team. We couldn’t even get set up in their zone. Wow
September 9, 20205 yr Can nobody possess the puck for Dallas? are they TRYING to give Vegas a shortie?
September 9, 20205 yr Look like they went out and partied in Vegas before the game. Complete and total dog shit
September 9, 20205 yr Talk about getting your fucking ass kicked for a period. That was pathetic.We are getting dealt a dose of reality tonight.
September 9, 20205 yr We were never going to sweep them anyway. Nothing wrong with a nice 4-1 series win.
September 9, 20205 yr Rads has a hole in his stick tonight to match the ones in his smile and head. someone needs to run reaves. I choose Perry.
September 9, 20205 yr If no one gets hurt, I'm OK with getting out with a 3-0 loss. Glad Jake O gets some experience.
September 9, 20205 yr There may be some disagreement here but Benn didn't look bad tonight. He looked strong just couldn't capitalize. Seguin was absolute trash and it feels like he's been that way all playoffs. I'd have to go look at box scores but it doesn't feel like he's contributed much other than a couple assists. Maybe a goal?
September 9, 20205 yr Whatever. I've felt lot worse after games. We're in a best of 5 to play for the Stanley Cup. Let's win G3.

September 9, 20205 yr Bogorad or Razor said Seguin has scored four goals in his last 23 playoff games.

Going back to my other post, last time we benched Rads he came back with a hat trick.
September 9, 20205 yr 1 goal in 120 minutes. Not gonna panic yet but we need at least a 3 spot in game 3. Edited September 9, 20205 yr by Jive Turkey
September 9, 20205 yr 3 minutes ago, Jive Turkey said: 1 goal in 120 minutes. Not gonna panic yet but we need at least a 3 spot in game 3. Zero goals in 117 minutes. Lehner is at over 120 shutout minutes now, with shutouts in like 4 of his last 6 games. have to take care of the defensive zone first to win games in this series.
September 9, 20205 yr I think we're witnessing a legit Conn Smythe performance out of Lehner. Speaking of goaltending, it's been fun watching the youngsters in this year's tournament. Demko is an intriguing keeper moving forward.
September 9, 20205 yr Seguin and Benn (to a lesser extent) are holding us back in this playoffs. Most of our younger players and role players are playing at max level. Our front line players need to play at least close to the level of their paycheck to win the cup. Benn had a good game 1 and wasn't awful last night like Seguin was. It's beating a dead horse but I think we all have to hope Seguin is playing through something that is significantly limiting him because he's been a below average player on the ice the entire playoffs. But overall both of those guys started regressing as soon as they signed their big contracts which is beyond frustrating.
September 9, 20205 yr Author Vegas is a good team and I will not be surprised to see this series go to 7. I mean, the competition should only get harder as you move forward, right? There are problems on this team, but every team has them. We may decry Rad's boneheaded plays, but at least he wasn't suspended a game for an illegal check to the head. There is nuance here. Can our top guys do better? Absofuckinglutely. Can the lower guys capitalize a bit more on their chances? Also yes. Whether we make the subtle changes that it takes to win this series will be the difference in whether we move on or go home.
September 9, 20205 yr I think its clear we will be the underdogs against Vegas and/or Tampa. Not impossible but definite underdogs. We have no one on our top line that can take over a game. I like a lot of our role players though.
September 10, 20205 yr Author Game 2 don't mean a shit now. Come out on fire tonight and take the series lead again. Go Stars!
September 10, 20205 yr We’ve had so many chances that we’ve not made good on. Gotta bury those tonight. Blues won the Cup last year by slamming picks to the net and then pouncing on rebounds. Don’t have to make 8 cute passes. Just jam it in there and be physical. Take a few penalties, get a few. Go Stars.
September 11, 20205 yr Let’s effing do this! We have to score first I’m afraid in this series, I don’t see the same kind of comebacks they’ve had in the playoffs against this bunch
