Hope the Stars come out strong and start looking like a possible Cup finalist; not happening yet and there are no excuses. Those slow starts are a reflection of last year. Shooting star goes to Logan Stankoven! Let's go Stars!!
Outside the Dutchy line and the 4th line; exception to stanky. They play like they wait for something to happen. Robo has just as many points as Esa and Harley (8 points, that’s a 39 point season pace.). THATS a problem. Roope has 10 points in 17. (48 point season pace). THATS a problem. Wyatt Johnson 7 points in 17 games THATS a problem. Let’s start in the locker room. Where’s Jamie Benn setting the tone? 3 goals and getting his ass whipped by Zadorov? If I was Dutchy I would be lighting an absolute fire on these dudes as a veteran. Calling each one of them out.
I was having issues too Joey with Victory+. Was pissed also. Hate missing the game. Even if it was bad. I’m hoping we get things together soon. Can’t afford to miss out on points. Especially against teams we should be beating.
I think they need to be split up, dropped down a line or something. They are way to talented to not be producing. Wether they have a good line mate or not. Pavs was great but even the last year he was here their production started dropping. The need to be put in check like others on the team. Healthy scratch them. Do something to kick them in the ass to get going. I don’t care if you’ve been a staple on the team. I love both the players. But why need to produce or we aren’t winning a cup.
The frustration of being a Stars fan. I get it too Joey. I feel you 100%. We’re not as good as we should be. We should be flying. Compared to starts from years past, we just don’t measure up. Slow start for sure.
They have to do something to find the right chemistry on the other lines. The Duchesne, Marchment Seguin line has been their best dating back to last season. I would try pairing Robertson with Stankoven and Benn and Hintz with Johnston and Smith. They also need to find a way to get more scoring from their defenseman. They're among the worst in the league in that area. Too much pressure on the forwards and Centers to produce all the goals each night. Johnston, Robertson and Hintz should be around or inside the top 15-20 in this league at a minimum. Too much talent to not be getting results by now.
it's a long season so they have time to figure it out and they are still well into a playoff spot. Dumba out right sucks but lybushkin has been really good from the 2 desperation signings. There best players are duchene, seguin and hintz. Hintz's shooting % is good but he's not getting shots. It's johnston's shooting % that is in the toilet at less than 5%. Bourque looked good with Benn against the ducks.
No they are way too talented to not figure it out but you absolutely need to get the 4th liner off of their line. The fowards have been healthy for weeks now so why tf is Dadanov STILL on that line? Pete is actively making this transition away from pavelski harder by not giving them a suitable line mate even though we have 2 currently on the 3rd line. It makes zero sense.
Coaching has to be in question as well. Deboer isn’t getting it done. They need a hard headed pipe hitting coach.

Love the stuff Joey keep it up

My thoughts exactly man. Wtf is up with those 3? Each of them are supposedly 30-40+ goal scorers and not one is in the top 20.
@ not even in the ball park.
“Do it!”

It is time both guys have been invisable!!

I had issues with Victory+ as well but I just chalked it up to having all Stars fans and Ducks fan watching at the same time. No big deal.

I am picking Segin for shooting star tonight!
