The soggy mustache boys (Duchene and Marchman) have to stop the penalties
Need Stars to play like this every game
Say what you want, Rantanen is wayyyy overrated, not worth 12mil.
Jake Oettinger was pretty solid especially in the third period when they needed him to rise to the occasion. I thought he had 30 saves between the pipes but it was only 29. The penalty kill unit was very good as well really strong 💪 when they were short handed. I was sweating when there was a loose puck in the crease that Oettinger stopped twice and bounced behind the net late in the third period.
5:21 A moose is a wild animal. You can't keep a wild animal on a leash, you just let it do what it does best. Greetings from Finland 🙂
think about it, stars fans will have a fantastic 8 years ahead.
An Otter and a Moose makes a great combo
Benn and mush have to be better. They’re my boys but damn
Just as expected, Rantanen will be a solid 50-point guy without MacKinnon. (in playoffs)
How many NHL-records Mikko broke already? I lost count
Waking up to a Stars win!!!!! 🌟
Thought Steel had a good game also
Benn was a moron, but Scheifle latched on to Benn’s arm, the same thing happened to Mush with the hook. Pionk felt the stick and grabbed on. But if the refs are gonna buy it then they have to be smarter.
Benn needs to hang it up after this season
And we need to get rid of marchment
Roope had a fuckin terrible game too. Dude couldn’t keep control of a puck
Where is all the depth scoring. Besides Mikko there doesn't seem to be any secondary scoring. This team is way too deep to only have basically one guy scoring. Benn looks like Pav did last year. Father time waits for no man. Thank you for your service but it's time to retire.
Make a new nickname stars fans. Hes no longer the moose. Hes become an entirely different beast.
Btw, I was incorrect on the last Stars win in Game 1! It was the 2020 Finals in the bubble. I think I willingly blocked that out 😂😂
Hard to support a division rival (AVS fan here) but I will ALWAYS be a Mikko fan! What a compliment to an already excellent team. It's shameful – all the haters who were quick to think the worst before learning the true circumstances of what happened for The Moose… Go Mikko Go!!
Lindell has better save% than Hellebyuck these playoffs
Thanks Joey, lots of great points and thoughts here, appreciate your work!
I agree with your thoughts on Benn. I recall last year when DeBoer would speak about leaving egos at the door and all buying into their system/plan? Haven’t heard much talk about egos being left at the door, thinking perhaps sharing ice times and new talent coming on board taking the limelight may have some affect on the guys? Otter was great and the Jets sure poured on the pressure, especially the last Period! Hope the Stars can sustain this level of play and build on their success! Go Stars Go!⭐️💚⭐️ Btw, Rantanen is sure to stand out for the Conn Smyth trophy! He’s definitely the MVP of the playoffs for Dallas, so far!
Look out below. Jets are going down! 🛩️
The Roope Hintz penalty was completely instigated by the other guy.
The stars will need to get #4 back on the ice if they want to win this series. There are some obvious weaknesses from the defenders coming out of the defensive zone with the puck or entering the zone on the offensive side.
Those penalties from Benn have the potential to swing the entire series away from the Stars. He has to get his head right.
Game coulda went either way , difference was Otter………….
Mikko is unreal. Best individual hockey performance over two games we have ever seen
The biggest blunder the Refs had this game was the linesman not giving Rope Hintz the call when he beat out the Winnipeg defenseman to the circle with 1.2 seconds left…if the Jets somehow score on that horrible call, we get robbed when the game should have been over right then and there…if nothing else, the faceoff goes to center ice…game over.
Yea I agree, we can’t afford penalties this series. We took way too many unnecessary penalties in game one of round 2.
I have been critical of the Rantanen trade. Im a believer. I'm all in. Hopefully another 8 years of playoff hockey in our future. Let's go Stars!
