The Blues sit on the blue line and wait for the Stars to gently caress up their PP before they even sniff the offensive zone.


It takes all sorts to make a successful PK, I guess.

That play was loving putrid even WITHOUT Tarasenko camped out by the blue line. Then Tarasenko got the puck.

maybe not this year, but that goaltender duo and the terrible veterans the Stars have signed are going to keep paying off for two or three seasons to come.

We'll have to live with it because unfortunately the Stars complete in a bush league and the standard of officiating reflects that.

Terrible veterans? Like who? Are you bitching about Russel again? The guy who immediately improved the Stars' defensive play? No one's going to argue about the goaltenders. But in terms of "terrible veterans" I can only think of Sergei Gonchar, and we got rid of him.


The Stars are playing bad. The moves to shore up defense were not mistakes.

Johnny Oduya, the biggest piece of poo poo on the roster.

**and with the way our management values veterans, they'll probably re-sign Travis Moen to a three year contract as they let Val Nichushkin walk off to Russia.
