  1. There is no good reason other than "we didn't want the game to end that way". The problem is the NHL has now fallen into the trap we've seen in CFP and NHL which is they flat out won't overturn the call on the ice in a big moment. There is absolutely zero chance if they ruled it a goal it would have been overturned. I put the blame on the jackass on the ice for calling the interference in the first place. But that was beyond obvious enough to overturn and do the right thing.
  2. I guess I have a slight bias if it's Tues since I'll be able to make games 1 and 2. If it's Thurs start - I'll miss game 2. I like our position regardless. Even if Tues, we get 3 days off to recover and Vancouver has to fly from Edmonton to Dallas on a quicker turnaround effectively starting series off on a 3 game road trip. If it's Thurs, we have a chance to really get healthy and watch them beat each other up with loser dealing with even quicker turnaround. It's odd at this point I don't even have an opinion of which scenario I think is preferable or which team I would like to face. We should be solid favorites against either. Edmonton has the star power that can win a game singlehandedly but we just beat the better version of that team. Vancouver seems a bit more well rounded although could it be we can just shut down a team like that? Who knows. So maybe despite missing game 2 I'm rooting for Edmonton here to at least take it to game 7 and then let the chips fall. Either way will be a fun series.
  3. For anyone that missed it go back and listen to the Duchene post game interview on TNT tomorrow. I heard it live but was still too amped up to listen to all of it. Listened again and really damn good. We're winning this fucking thing.
  4. Fair point. It could start Thurs regardless. I don't know definitively. I'm just speculating given that the East schedule was announced as a Weds start before Florida clinched tonight. Thought that may mean they were waiting to see how the West played out.
  5. Every other. I think if Van wins Sat we play Tues and if not then Thurs.
  6. Had to log on during victory beer. Holy fucking shit what a game guys. I don't think I've ever been as mad about a call outside of a handful of Texas football games. Thank god Karma played out the right way tonight. Great game by the entire fucking team. Otter played out of his mind. Benn - huge goal. Tanev, nails. Miro was Miro. Marchment - won it the first time (was my #Bucciovertimechallenge pick for the record and first time I ever actually picked correctly), Johnston and Stank all over the ice, gritty 4th line was a gritty 4th line all damn game, then the Duchene winner and old man Pavelski digging it out for him. The low key play of the game might have been Robertson laying the fuck out to block the puck in the 3rd period (I think). It was a hell of play. I love this fucking team. So pumped for more games at the AAC! LETS GO STARS!
  7. I mean I get they don't trust Nils. But Nils has played in over 100 NHL games. Bisch has played in....... zero? Crazier things have happened I guess but that would be pretty shocking to me. But yes - seems like someone needs to eat 9-10 minutes. Miro logged 28 last game.
  8. Roope confirmed out again tonight. Hopeful for next game (whatever that may be). Going to have to sack up and play well tonight across the board.
  9. He's masked at 4AM. It's 100% a threat. Anyone downplaying this is either too partisan to think objectively about it or does not have a wife and kids at home (or both). It's bullshit. And if some other moron does this shit and ends up getting shot in the process, zero sympathy from me.
  10. I'm just glad Mavs/Stars conflicts are done. This has been a great series and I've barely gotten to see any of it live.
  11. It's pretty fucking embarrassing that the Cloak Room regulars are trying to fucking justify or play down this type of idiocy. It's beyond unacceptable. I'm sure they would have the exact same "no big deal" opinion if it were MAGA idiots showing up harassing D appointed judges or similar.
  12. Gave them life. Frustrating. That sequence that led to their 2nd goal was frustrating AF from what I saw (blatant pick, save, cross check, retaliation, massive flop). Haven't seen replay other than limited in arena so maybe wasn't as bad as I thought. But regardless, that sequence changed the game. That being said, they completely outplayed us in all respects from that point on. Good W for the Mavs at least. Big one on Friday.
  13. Tenured per that article. Not apples to apples.
  14. Is it really controversial on this board that the employee was fired? I saw the video last week. It's a bad look. Not an employment lawyer so not weighing in on all this first amendment talk but I'll be pretty surprised if he wins this. I don't think first amendment prevents you from being fired for acting like an asshole on camera (unless you have contracted around that) regardless of your employer.
  15. Yeah, they would call it "day-to-day" whether he could go tomorrow or shelved until November right? I know hockey always vague with injuries in the playoffs but pretty sure not the same level of disclosure obligations compared to the NFL. I thought Hakanpaa would have been back 2 weeks ago based on what was said before the playoffs.
  16. Agreed. High stakes for both. If either thought they were a clear favorite that person would refuse. But Joe needs moderate votes in bulk and agreed debate helped with that. People that don't necessarily like Joe need to be reminded why they really didn't like Trump.
  17. Great game last night. We sense they were wounded early and just attacked. Then strong close out 3rd period to put it to bed without any issues. Guess nothing about Roope yet. Hopefully he isn't out long term. He's clearly been battling something (or multiple things) for a while so hopefully just aggravation that gets better with some rest (particularly if we can close it out tomorrow without him) and not something new.
  18. Who gives a shit about any of this. It's gameday. JFC
  19. I've barely been able to watch any of this series so far attending both stars games. But people on my text chain that never bitch about officiating have been cussing the calls SGA has gotten. Hopefully he doesn't get the benefit on the road tomorrow. Look forward to finally watching. Still so pissed the NHL scheduled Stars in direct conflict with Mavs. At least staggered for games 6 and 7 if both series go long.
  20. Great time at the AAC last night. Way too close for comfort and we have to figure the 3rd period out but good W. Fuck the Avs and their bitch ass fans crying about that hit. And maybe keep your head up if you are along the boards dumbass. On a flight to Vegas for the weekend. Let's grab game 3 and the series momentum Saturday.
  21. Special teams was an absolute mess for Dallas last night in all respects outside of the 5 on 3.
  22. I said to my buddy right before the game started that I don't think 3 goals wins a single game this series. Unfortunately that proved correct last night. They are going to score a bunch and I don't think anything Otter can do about it except stop enough to keep it in the 3 range instead of the 6 or 7 range. But that goes both ways. I feel like we had almost as many good opportunities last night as we did in Vegas game 3 (where we completely dominated play) despite the fact we completely slept walked through the 2nd period and more than half of the 3rd with virtually zero chances during that stretch. We can absolutely score 5-7 against these guys if we play our game just like we did a few weeks ago in Denver.
  23. 100% agree with this. It's a bunch of losers without a social life and/or a group that wants to find a target to blame for their own self made problems. And that applies to both extreme sides of the political spectrum. Personally, I'm an equal opportunity hater. Despise and deride both groups at each opportunity.
  24. I only got to watch snippets of the game last night from the AAC between periods and during timeouts. But this game thread seems like a microcosm of the little I saw. Luka missing shots, SGA flopping/soft calls or hitting shots, Gafford playing ok but everyone else looking off. Looks like I didn't miss much.
  25. Yeah, I mean, I don't think Colorado is shying away from the fact they are top heavy. They have probably the best current player in the NHL . Of course they want him on the ice as often as they can.
