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.

If Jim Nill isn't fired for the Antti Niemi trade and sign, feel free to fire him for the Kris Russell trade Gaglardi.

He's not going to get fired.

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.

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.

I'd still take 100 Oduyas before I ever see a single Gonchar again.

If Kris Russell "immediately improved the Stars' defensive play" Jim Nill should be fired for not having signed any actual defensemen to begin with.

The plan has been to bring up the defensemen we've had in the minors. For whatever reason, they're not ready yet. And if it was as easy as just going out and signing good defensemen, it'd have been done. They signed who they could. Russell was brought in.


I just have a hard time seeing Nill's moves so far as a net negative. 100% of the hockey universe will agree the Niemi contract is bad. But there are arguments to be made about everything else.

The goalie situation is so bad for the Stars that they are STILL trying to make Jack Campbell work.



They can't still have the same goalie scouts, right?

Okay, let me make it even simpler then.


Hit on the ice: totally fine

Players being launched into poo poo: not as fine, but fun to watch

Things St.Louis fans said in the first round.

And last year.

And the year before.

Honestly, if I'm a Blues fan I don't panic unless they lose the next game. The Stars barely scratched out a win tonight, and their dumbass mistakes becoming goals are becoming a consistent thing. I mean poo poo, Eakin had JUST got done falling on his face untouched before he scored that game winner.



I'm pleased as punch to win this game, but the Stars have yet to seriously show that they're the better team in this series.
