  1. 100% -- and this time of year, that's huge. We really need Duchene and Robertson to get going. It would be nice if we can close things out Thursday because I think Vegas is dead-team-walking. There is a very good chance that series is over in five. Was watching NHL Live last night on NHL Channel and paid close attention to the Edmonton-Vegas breakdown. The Oilers are a much deeper team than last season, which is scary. They have like 59 points in 10 playoff games from players not named McDavid or Draisaitl. Last year, they had like 52 points in 25 playoff games from that group. Still don't know what to make of their goalie situation but Skinner was good enough to beat us last year -- and their skating group seems better than a year ago. Luckily we have HFA (I guess) if we can dust off the Jets.
  2. I will not way the Jets "should have" won but I definitely think they were better than us last night -- except in goal, which is kind of a big deal. I haven't looked at the advanced metrics either but the first 40 mins appeared that the rink was tilted considerably in Winnipeg's favor. The Jets had 70 shot attempts and had 13-8 advantage in dangerous scoring chances or whatever it's called. But they have a goalie problem -- ours is playing much better than theirs. We were opportunistic and actually the one goal the Jets scored was a bad one.
  3. Well, yeah, I guess. But they were both early last night. Benn's came at a much more pivotal time -- and was completely avoidable.
  4. "Qatar-a-Lago" Outstanding. https://www.newsweek.com/democrats-fly-qatar-lago-banner-near-trumps-palm-beach-home-2071900
  5. Whoa — Luna coming to Dallas (Granada) on 12/6. Never seen them. Kind of missed them when they were actually active. Tickets purchased!
  6. They didn’t, which is why this is frustrating. Jamie’s penalty could’ve been a killer. The more I thought about it, the dumber it gets. Faux tough guy bullshit with a 2-goal lead and 5 mins left. This is the President’s Trophy winner, who has outplayed you in the game save the goalie spot. They pulled the goalie and scored twice to steal Game 7 in Round 1 just a week ago. If they can knock one in on the PP, it’s even more white-knuckle time for the final 2 mins. We all know how bad we are at empty-net goals. Next thing you know you’re in OT. Just a galactically stupid self-inflicted wound by Benn. The calls against Seguin came from a guy trying to make a play. Bad luck but it wasn’t a total brain-dead move. And Jamie is this team’s captain.
  7. Jets will lay it all on the ice Thursday night. I’ll be very pleasantly surprised if the Stars can clinch the series in five games.
  8. They’re glue/leadership guys now at their age/mileage, which is why the dumb penalties are inexcusable. They’re Guy Carbonneau/Mike Keane guys on this team if you compare back to the 99 Cup team. Any points out of them is a bonus. Rantanen, Wyatt, Robertson, Roope are the weight-carriers in the points department. (Dutch really, really needs to get going, though.)
  9. I had no idea until they mentioned it during tonight’s game that Bichsel had 13 hits in Game 3.
  10. Send somebody from both teams off but Jamie was beyond stupid there
  11. If they live outside they could, I’m sure.
  12. Think they donate them or something.
  13. Fucking hat trick — awesome!!!
  14. Double minor — let’s go!
  15. They’re the entire offense these days. (Half the team are Finns, I guess. Lol)
  16. Love the fucking Finns!!!!
  17. Ugly PP Ain’t nothin’ good going on
  18. Hanging on for dear life
  19. That is a bad one to let in
  20. No, that could be concern #1. I might accidentally take a dip in a body of water that is deemed not safe to swim in. There's not a chance in the world I'm taking a voluntary dip in any body of water with fucking jeans on.
  21. Headed to SLC for Kilby Block Party on Thursday. New Order headlines Thursday. Beach House headlines Friday, Weezer on Saturday and Justice on Sunday. We're missing Sunday because we have to get back. IDGAF about Weezer. We will probably bail early.
