Dallas Stars vs VGK Game 2 Reactions: Stars play well but lack execution, Vegas take 2-0 Series lead



The Dallas Stars lose game two by a final score of 3-1 and the Vegas Golden Knights take a commanding 2-0 series lead back to Vegas for game three. Jason Robertson scored his 2nd goal of the series to give Dallas a 1-0 lead, but it was answered by Jonathan Marchessault a few minutes later. Vegas picked up a late period goal from Noah Hanifin in the 2nd and shut down the Stars the rest of the way. Joey gives his initial thoughts and feeling right after game two and tries to explain what has gone wrong in the first two games of the series. One of those issues has been the play of Joe Pavelski, Roope Hintz, Matt Duchene and Tyler Seguin, they have done a lot of things right in the first two games, but it has not amounted to much. Vegas deserves credit for being a great defensive team, but the Stars are not seeing the depth scoring they got throughout the regular season. Someone has to step in order for them to get back in the series. The Stars must win game three on Saturday if they want a chance to come back and win the series. Joey wants to believe they can do it, but it will be an uphill climb against a Vegas team that has looked really solid in the first two games.

  1. Vegas fan. Did expect this. I really thought Dallas was going to dominate. Vegas didn’t have that IT Factor at the end of the season

  2. The Dallas Stars had the best record by a team on the road this season, with a record of 26-10-5.

  3. Rest Marchment and Faksa, replace with Smith and Mavrik Bourque. If Hank is healthy play him at forward. Get someone who can get to the net in there.

  4. Vegas fan here, believe me when I say I was worried when Stars scored, even after we tied it up, because Vegas had a terrible record when they give up the first goal. Stomach was twisted inside out until the empty net.
    Also, Otter is such a tough goalie, that triple save was amazing. He played well.

  5. We gotta get more shots on goal. The entire game we could only manage 21 shots. That’s unacceptable. Robo scored so that’s great we expect him to as he usually manages to. But Benn, Seguin, and Johnson, Pavelsky, Duchene we gotta bury those opportunities and we have to produce. We started this series with home advantage and we pissed it away. If we can’t step it up in Vegas we are going to get swept and look like one of those teams that’s stellar all of regular season and then just chokes in the playoffs.

  6. If Pete DeBoer still has a job next season, I will no longer be a Dallas Stars fan. I wouldn't feel this way if they were giving all they had and just coming up short, but this organization is pathetic. They don't even try, and hiring Pete and wasting maybe the best roster in hockey on the worst system in hockey is the epitome of this

  7. Maybe its my age, but I have always said that telling it like it is the only way to roll. Great job. I was hoping to find a podcast talking about this. I really want the Stars to win, but Vegas just might be too good.

  8. Unfortunately Dallas fans it's Pete DeBoer. Devils and Sharks fans warned us when he was Vegas's coach. Nice guy, great regular season coach, but he does not adjust. We saw it first hand during the playoff runs against the Stars and Montreal in the bubble playoffs. Way too much talent on this Dallas squad.

  9. Vegas is just better than Dallas overall, they are deeper, better on defense and they play at a higher level come playoffs, plus they are familiar with the stars coach/coaching. Many of the players are carried over from last season too.

  10. Vgk's top defenseman are pietrangelo, hanafin, theodore. They probably have the deepest dcore, one of the best center depth. When healthy, they're easily the top 3 team in the league. Dallas just got unlucky this year.
