  1. I don’t get this move. Do I like bunting as a player, yes. Do I like him on the 3rd line if we didn’t have steel, yes. But where does he fit? He plays 14 min a night. He’s not a top 6 w. Just don’t understand with the current make up of the team

  2. Every sport from football to basketball and hockey have been trending to champions that have the most depth and the Stars since the break have been destroying teams in waves I like it 🟢⚫️🏒⭐️⭐️

  3. I think both Myers, and Bunting are going to thrive here. I’m calling it now. They both earn contracts here when these current deals run out. They’re going to fit right in. This just feels right! Doesn’t it? I’m pumped for tonight. We get Hintz back tonight. Faksa too I think? Anyway, I’ll be cheering the boys all the way from Little Rock! Go Stars Go!

  4. I’m so glad we’re getting more physical players. This is something we missed in the past and it is imperative for success long term in the playoffs
