  1. Ouch. Net income slid 71% in Q1. Fuck around, find out.
  2. I thought the Stars played well enough in Game 1 but Colorado's first two goals were just unlucky bounces. Meanwhile, the Stars weren't scoring on their best chances. The final two Colorado goals were an empty-netter and garbage-time goal, no big deal. I, too, was surprised to see the stats on MoneyPuck with the Stars something like 60% winning that game. The Hockey Stat Card grades were dominated by Avs at the top but I guess the margins were pretty close. Otter got outplayed by Blackwood in Game 1.
  3. Definitely not good enough to justify the amount of grease. Also can be much too rich.
  4. That mouth and those RATs are a nice little one-two punch!

  6. Colin Blackwell and Alexander Ovechkin now have the same number of career playoff overtime goals. Noodle on that.
  7. Pic from AP from the game last night:
  8. I agree with @Skipper that we will not know how the Rantanen deal actually works out until next season (and beyond). From a talent/production perspective, Rantanen was an upgrade over Stankoven (meaning maybe "better" for the immediate time-frame but not long-term). However, I wonder how things might look today if we'd stood pat. (My only real concern moving forward with Rantanen is the amount of money/years committed to him. His production has been other-worldly in the past. He's played 652 career NHL regular-season games. All but 33 of those were with a team that featured MacKinnon, Landeskog, Makar. His scoring rate with CAR-DAL is considerably below his career before that. He's a big guy that isn't overly physical and lumbers around the ice a bit. But he seems to find himself in the right place quite a bit, and had a few of those chances last night. He just didn't bury anything. I think he'll only get better as he gets more and more familiar with his new long-term teammates. I also do not discount the comfort he probably feels with as many Finns as we have on the Stars.)
  9. "United State" -- deliberate typo?
  10. Agree with most of this. But I think the Stars' struggles go back further than the most-recent 8-game losing streak. Post-Miro injury, we were snagging points and wins despite getting outplayed for long stretches of games. I think you can probably go back to when fuckhead Mark Stone hurt Miro's knee. That was probably inflection point #1. We were humming along at that point. Then, we make the questionable mega-deal to get Rantanen. The jury is still out on that one in my mind but we'd better get used to him in a Stars sweater as we're married to that guy now. I wonder how things would look if we still had Stankoven instead of Rantanen, who I think can be very effective in the right situation. If you can pair him with the right talent, he can give you a ton of production. (I say that with full realization that not everybody has Nathan MacKinnon just sitting there.) It would be amazing if we can get Miro back at some point in this series. Of course the Avs are likely to get Landeskog back but he hasn't played in a game since the Avs hoisted the Cup back in 2022. It will probably take him far longer to shake the rust and get back into the swing of playing high-intensity playoff hockey.
  11. According to HockeyStatCards.com, Evgeni Dadonov was the best player on the ice last night followed by Jamie Benn.

  13. Nichushkin had the game on his stick several times in OT but Otter made some nice saves to keep him off the scoresheet. Desperation won that game for the Stars.
  14. We haven’t had a MAGA hair meltdown like this since Rudy’s hair-dye incident
  15. Desperation is a powerful thing in playoff hockey.
  16. Dude played a great game. He deserved that. What a fucking hockey game!
  17. I haven’t heard a good opponent’s goalie chant in a long time.
