So now, we're at the point of Helle vs Otter for US goalie in the Olympics. Since its a high pressure situation, we shouldn't even let Helle on the team. His suckage might spill onto the other players, like it does the Jets.

Jets outplayed Stars tonight overall.   That's a good team.  You are right goalie was the difference as you have been saying all along.  But I fully expect "home" Helle to show up Thurs and pitch a shutout.

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.

Edmonton has looked good, I could see them closing out. Hard to believe Vegas would go out 4-1 but I didn’t expect to see them getting waxed 3-0 the other night so who knows.

who you got tonight? will VGK extend the series? who breaks the tie in Toronto tonight?

I think Vegas hangs on and I think FLA start putting some fear in Toronto

That would be my bet

i am glad vegas is out
i don't care how much rest oil gets
vegas have been the new sharks for us

Have the Sharks ever beaten the Stars in a playoff series? I don’t think they have.

Edmonton is damn good, beat us last year and are playing great now. We beat Vegas last year and they looked old this series. I wanted it to go as long as possible.

If Dallas moves on, we will have our hands full with the Oilers. Of the seven teams still playing, I think I might pick the Oilers as the Cup favorite right now. McDavid and Draisaitl are winning a Cup sometime. It’s inevitable.

kind of ran

I said they should have suspended him when it happened. I don't think it would have changed the outcome of the series though. Woll wasn't going to be able to hold down the fort. There's going to be a lot of finger pointing in Leafs land and I wonder who is going to be thrown under the bus and run off.

Nor do I, as long as Florida played well. They’re better than Toronto. Period. End of story. And once the Panthers got settled, they proved it.

Edmonton is on a heater.  After looking like they had the worst goaltender on the planet the first 2 games, they go to Pickard who wins 6 in a row, then he gets hurt, then Skinner who somehow posts back to back shutouts.   Winning 8 of 9 in the playoffs really impressive.   Will be a tough matchup for Stars if we can close this out.

I wanted this series extended but F Vegas.  Glad they lost.  They are right there with the Avs for my most disliked team.  I didn't watch after the 2nd last night but Vegas certainly look older and slower.  Was surprised how little juice they had in a home elimination game from what I watched.   It was a contrast to game 1 where they still were flying up and down the ice.

I think they're a lot like the Stars were the last few seasons. Great regular season and then just didn't have the juice to get it done. And that's different than talent. I think the Stars' recent playoff exits had more to do with nothing left in the tank than it did talent. That was my observation of VGK last night as well

And it was only game 11 for them.  I think that was definitely the case for the Stars last year in the latter part of the Oil series but we entered that series playing 13 including a 7 game physical series against Vegas (comeback from being down 2-0 losing both at home so had to basically play perfect hockey to win) + then clinching game 6 in 20T against Colorado.  So it was really games 17-19 of the playoffs last year I felt we looked worn down.   Vegas doesn't have as good of an excuse playing 11 total (6 at home)

two elimination games tonight, both on the road for the team with the lead in the series. gonna be interesting to see how this plays out. either we'll have 3/4 of the conference finals settled or EDM is gonna get a little extra rest

Didn’t see Vegas losing 4-1. Didn’t see skinner posting 2 shoutouts in a row. 

If you had told me that Edmonton was going to win this series I'd say "sure, probably going to be a bunch of track meets". Oilers simply outclassing Vegas and getting better goaltending never would have been in the equation for me looking at this series going in.

Have a feeling that Marner is gone this offseason, and after watching his spinorama 360 no scope bullshit right onto the Panthers defenders stick yesterday leading immediately to the goal that completely buried them I'd want my team to have nothing to do with signing him. The only player on their overrated "Core 4" that's shown up at all in the playoffs is Nylander.

Marner sure has pissed off a lot of people up there. From what I can tell it's a combo platter of grievances.

maybe it's mutual hate. perhaps he's making it easier on both parties to move on and he's making sure everyone notices. lol. I wouldn't want to play in toronto. they're the cowboys of the nhl and everyone hates them but them, but also nobody hates them more than they hate themselves. this coming from a recovering cowboys fan for too long. now i just follow longhorns in the nfl and that's about.

since we'll soon learn everyone's injury status, I'm hoping we learn Stone had a fucked up knee. would be poetic justice. whatever it was, I'm glad he had to watch his team burn from the sidelines.
