  1. I'm guessing you didn't watch the musical act. sounded like someone strangling a cat while slamming it in a piano.
  2. again, I think the fact we made so few moves is testament to where this team is now. we shall see!
  3. that's the expanded roster for camp. most of those players will play elsewhere this season.
  4. I still subscribe to theory the rapture already happened and we're what's left
  5. wow, so he can read. color me surprised
  6. serious question: do you watch hockey outside of the Stars? Glen Gulutzan has been a head coach before and has been an assistant coach running the PP with the Oilers for the last almost decade. I think he's going to be quite good, personally. I was sure they were going to bring Neil Graham all the way up, but making him an assistant right now makes sense. as far as the roster, I think there is a reason we are considered one of the contenders again this season. for reference, here is our opening night roster last season (and who is not on the roster this season) Forwards (12) Oskar Bäck, Jamie Benn, Colin Blackwell, Mavrik Bourque, Evgenii Dadonov, Matt Duchene, Roope Hintz, Wyatt Johnston, Mason Marchment, Jason Robertson, Tyler Seguin, Logan Stankoven, Sam Steel Defensemen (7) Mathew Dumba, Thomas Harley, Miro Heiskanen, Esa Lindell, Nils Lundkvist, Ilya Lyubushkin, Brendan Smith Goaltenders (2) Casey DeSmith, Jake Oettinger Additions: Nathan Bastian, Lian Bichsel, Radek Faksa, Vladislav Kolyachonok, Mikko Rantanen Obviously Rantanen, Bichsel, and Faksa are known commodities at this point and Rantanen (Stankoven) and Bichsel (Dumba) are massive upgrades over the players they replaced. Faksa and Bastian are both depth players and aren't expected to score a ton, which makes Marchment really the only uneven loss that I see (Dadonov disappeared most games so I don't think he'll be all that missed). But I assume the brass expect the rest of the roster to pick up his 47 points - and leave his PIMs at the door. Rantanen can make up those points on his own. I think the fact that Nill didn't make more moves shows how nearly solidified this roster is. The real question mark for me is Lundkvist - the previous coaches didn't trust him for some reason. If he can be 75% of the first round prospect he is supposed to be, he'll be a massive upgrade both in his puck pursuit but in scoring as well. We need more goals from the blueline this season.
  7. Another preseason tilt again tonight against the Wild. Will have a mostly nhl lineup tonight, which I have mixed feelings about. on the one hand, you want your guys up to game speed by the start of the season, but also want them healthy. anywho, go Stars!
  8. pretty wild Austin is the only one with all three.
  9. why do all right wing leaders look like they're missing a chromosome? or is it an extra? I can't tell
  10. Gen X would come spontaneously in unison
  11. Do you have a specific thought or question? According to some we're pretty bad - might wanna stay back. Lol
  12. That's the thing about Immolation: their bangers are just that. You just have to find them
  13. welp, will probably never watch it but will add the show to my "record" list
  14. imagine their response if he had touched a kid! wait
  15. Make Argentina Great Again! wtf?
  16. something something might not call himself a nazi, but the nazis claim him as one of their own
  17. fortunately or unfortunately Stacy is probably a bot
  18. nope, not a false idol at all. definitely not a cult
  19. emissary of peace? lol, what.the.fuck?!
  20. omg that was embarrassing. I don't think I have ever seen a defender just take the ball away from someone. ouch.
  21. just don't call it locker boxing. that's something else entirely
  22. I don't have much to add other than I was making my way into the game when they were announcing the starters and I could hear them call Arch's name and was very proud of the roar from the crowd - hope that helped steer his mind for the game in the right ways. seemed to. he did everything he needed to do to get his mind right again (at least at face value)
  23. Watching the replay of the Stars preseason game against the Blues that was on last night during our game and Adam Erne is playing on a PTO. That caused me to look to see if he could be added to the roster or if that would put the Stars over the cap (it would, but about $300k). Anyway, that caused me to look at where other teams sit with the cap and saw that both Vegas and Florida are projected to be several million over the cap. Anyone who understands these things better, what do those teams have to do and by when in order to be compliant? https://puckpedia.com/teams That said, super excited about the season and seeing who comes out on top. Who you got? I like my Stars' chances, but it's a long season and a million things can happen.
