The pawsting business is tough work.
Typically it's Nashville giving up at this point, not the refs.

The only way for this game to end is in a shootout that goes 25 rounds

That ref was very enthusiastic about it being a no goal, like...immediately. That was fun.



Welp, let's get that 2nd point, Dallas. Not sure if you've been playing a 2 point game, but gently caress it try and take it anyway

if there's one thing that will crater the Stars in the playoffs it's this awful power play of theirs. You just know there will be a series where the Stars end up going 0 for 15 on the PP across the 5 or 6 games and bomb out.

**uggh Stars shootout. Congrats on the extra point Chicago.

Lehner is pretty bad at shootouts

Also if it is of any consolation the Hawks power play was in the bottom 10 of the league in most of their cup-winning seasons. They had elite even strength and PK play to offset that, though. I think the Stars are doing well in those departments this year?

yes. Stars are #2 in the league for xGF% at ES, and they were #1 in xGA/60 on the PK for a good long while.. I think now they are 3rd or 4th.

Actually the PP ranks as elite by xGF/60 too. 2nd in the league last time I looked. They can just never score a goal.

Dang I'd imagine the Stars power play will be due for a course correction soon enough if they're generating those types of looks. Plus, you have really good goaltending as well. I know a lot of dumb random stuff can still happen in hockey but I think the Stars are as well-positioned as anyone in this conference to make a run

The Hawks fancy stats are uh...best not to look

well apparently the special teams play has been going downhill lately cause I looked to confirm and the Stars are 4th and 7th on PP / PK stats I quoted respectively.. and apparently Carolina snuck by us to #2 and we're #3 in xGF% now :(

Chicago's system always gives the Stars nightmares, I'm sure that the good feelings won't last through three days from now when we play you guys again in Chicago.. I think the Hawks have some really strong potential to push for a playoff spot if they can get some of their issues figured out.
