  1. Merry Christmas! 🌲
    Looking forward to your Christmas Day Livestream…Is it still happening tonight?

  2. Pavelski was a liability in the playoffs last year and it was his time, but I never saw anyone talk about how Wyatt's entire training regimen and nutrition plan and sleep schedule were all Pavelski's. This is Wyatt's first year as an actual independent player having to manage things Joe and Sarah did for him before. It made my jaw drop seeing people think he'd break 70 points this year.

  3. Their PP is bad to the point I hope for a shorty on their PK. :). Their PP has turned into a Power Kill. Would help if Robo and Johnston would start chipping in. Segs going down hasn’t helped. Yeah, it’s a crap shoot every game which team is going to show up. Glad to see Bichsel up and doing good things.

  4. Dallas fan here. The problem for me is what team shows up from game to game. They win against Winnipeg and Tampa but lose to Anaheim and Chicago. They got to get their powerplay going. Where is Robo and Johnston?

  5. Crazy how inconsistent they have been playing and yet they are still in a playoff spot at this moment. This upcoming stretch of games are going to be very crucial for the Stars. They must get at least 8 of a possible 10 points in those 5 games to get back into the category of a potential contender. All it takes is for their star players like Robertson and Johnston to get their names into the goals column more consistently the rest of the season which should help the rest of the team with improving their team scoring. Go Stars!!

  6. As a Stars fan they really really have been on a downturn since Seguin went down for the year. Nill needs to put him on LTIR and use the cap money to bring in some help. Also wasnt crazy with what they did in the offseason, lost their whole 4th line pretty much and Tanev and made questionable additions to replace them

  7. 1:42 HEY! NJ had like 75% of our team injured last season and our goalie somehow forgot how to play hockey. Last year doesn’t count. We get a mulligan

  8. Dallas is probably going to buy big at the deadline. With Seguin on LTIR that frees up a lot of money.

    Best outcome for this season is a big splash at the deadline and a new coaching staff. Steve Spott should’ve been ejected from the state of Texas after going -1/7 against New York, but he’s Deboers nepo baby.

  9. The Stars are really missing the stabilizing of Joe in the room. He kept the kids encouraged. And those tip-in were game changers.

  10. I've been a Stars fan since 1993. This has truly been one of the most frustrating seasons that any fan has had to watch. The inconsistency and lack of leadership is glaring. They get outworked by most teams and if it wasn't for Otter & DeSmith, their record would be mediocre at best. Until an actual leader steps up and starts flipping tables, this team is going nowhere fast!!

  11. The "Wyatt Johnston, very disappointing" had so much disappointed dad energy to it, felt a little triggered.

  12. Shannon, maybe you can answer this for me. For years Dallas has sought the finesse game. The European style, scoring only, no hitting. It has not gotten them anywhere, because no teams have to look over their shoulder when we play them. Which we did somewhat counteract with our forecheck, but that’s since been lost. But when you do these things, it forces players to make moves before they’re set, causing turnovers and panic. One thing DeBoer brought is a shoot first mentality (which is again on the slide) but it fixed Jamie and Tyler’s game. Yet this season, we finally pick up physical players. (Blackwell, Dumba, Lybushkin, Bishel. Etc) so we paid for a physical team, and yet we don’t utilize them? Why spend money on Dumba and ask him to play a European game? That’s a recipe for disaster! I’m curious your thoughts. Am I wrong? And do you think a slight edge could increase the overall balance of Dallas this season, potentially getting them a cup if warranted

  13. This comment has nothing to do with this video but…………………………….. It's obvious that Utah doesn't want the name 'Yeti', or they would have claimed that name by now. Utah is the Beehive State, so i have been trying to come up with an apian related name. The best I can come up with is SWARM. The Utah Swarm………. I think it sounds good. ……………

  14. The Stars' biggest issue right now is their PP. Especially at home. It was an issue in the WCF, last season. If they don't fix this, it'll sink their season. I'm starting to get a little concerned about Deboer and his inability to make adjustments because of his loyalty to certain individuals like one of his assistant coaches.

  15. Power Play has been a mess all year, and they really haven't found the 3rd guy for the Seguin line since his injury.

  16. Another thing is how bad was Jason Robertson's foot injury because he has looked a step slow all season and he has never been known as a speed demon.

  17. Seems like this same video could be made about the leafs, they also struggle with consistency. Also playoffs.

  18. Still a lot of season to go but I remember seeing Dallas fans last year who were so excited for Pavelski to retire and Suter to be gone. Any time I told them that those two are hall of fame level players, Benn is going to get older, and Seguin is injury prone, they would laugh because the young players are so good.

    In reality they’re not. Stankoven had a no expectations role, Johnston was being carried by other players taking attention away from him. Robertson cannot skate, at all. Oettinger is kind of mid as well.

    Can still turn it around but that team is not as good as they achieved for a few years.

  19. Good video. Stars fan, I completely agree. I'm waiting for it to just kind of click. It still may and they could win ten in a row. The bits are there but as you say, no consistency from night to night

  20. I have to stop going to games. I was at the Nashville game and the Toronto game. It's never been a more frustrating time to watch them. The guys you paid big money to have fallen off a cliff. Wyatt clearly misses Pavelski. The powerplay is more like a clown show. Nothing has changed Deboer doesn't mix up lines nothing. It's just roll it out there and hopefully tonight something clicks. It feels like they are just going through the motions until playoffs if they get there….and that's a big "IF" right now.

  21. Pete Deboer is not the coach to get you over the hump. The Sharks and Vegas both figured it out, I was so surprised Dallas hired him. He was an okay fit when Pavelski was there tipping pucks, but now the Power Play doesn’t work.

  22. Tonight should drop the Stars into the bottome half of the board. What a pathetic performance
