  1. well, he has 8 years to prove me right. but you're conflating skill with accomplishments. superstar players have languished on bad teams and never won anything - that doesn't negate their individual greatness. Robo is already a statistically better player than Modano. That wasn't a particularly high bar when you look at what elite players are doing today. Even with the cup team, our superstars were rentals. And even they didn't have the kind of numbers Rantanen puts up. He is the best pure player to skate for the Stars - remains to be seen if he's revered at the same level as his skill
  2. ^ that really underscores the two approaches from two very different GM's. Nill's slow burn approach has us icing 11 players on the current roster who the Stars drafted: Benn, Bourque, Back, Hintz, Johnston, Robertson, Bichsel, Harley, Heiskanen, Lindell, Oettinger. The Avs have 3: MacKinnon, Makar, Landeskog - that's it. I think regardless of what happens this season, Nill has put us in a position where all he has to do is swap out a player or two and send everyone back out there. Colorado is going to have to revamp their lineup every season for the foreseeable future, so that author above is correct. Could take a decade to fix this mess. Probably not, but could.
  3. I've watched with envy in the past when superstars like Mac or Kucherov or McDavid absolutely put the team on their shoulders and win a huge game for them, basically by themselves. We've always been on the receiving end of that magic, and now we finally have a player capable of doing it. It's without hyperbole that I say Mikko Rantanen is the best player to ever put on a Stars jersey and he proved it last night. The Stars have been a conglomerate of good players with the teams getting the most out of every player to win. but now we're a band of excellent players with a superstar leading the way. Get miro and robo back and look the fuck out
  4. Sucks that either team had to go home this early. Said as much before the game, still feels true. This should be a later round handshake. Gg avs, you're gonna be a nightmare next season, again
  5. I have no words. Wow. I'll process and come back. Amazing
  6. So we're gonna have the remaining puck luck this game, right? Jfc
  7. Both teams seem to be playing too not make the first mistake. I suspect we'll see more from the stars in the 2nd
  8. I don't understand why this is not on Victory+. Despite that it's on ABC and there is no pregame show I can find. Hopefully I can get the ticket audio. I keep going between nervous and calm. how you guys feeling?
  9. Excited and scared for tonight. I will say, it's bullshit one of these teams has to pack it up for the season after tonight. this should have been a way later round matchup. oh well.
  10. I cannot muster even a molecule of care for Sara
  11. yeah, each one of those is a citizen they turned into sausage
  12. it's been on Pluto TV for a bit and I catch myself stopping and watching wherever it is in the movie for few minutes. such a good flick
  13. so glad I don't have a daughter, or kids for that matter.
  14. I pay attention to exactly zero aggy shit so I missed that one
  15. they give away medals like osu gives away helmet stickers
  16. yes, and I could give two fucks what you think of me. what is clearly not obvious to you is how much you are clowning yourself and looking whiney as hell. did you write this? so typical of an avs to whine about a win. lol https://t.co/s6zq0KzzAb
  17. they've already said DC streets cannot handle it. it'll get tossed around but I think this one is a literal logistics no
  18. you know the world is fucked when you're not sure if that's his actual picture or a meme. holy shit, avs fan in a nutshell right there
