Duchene out tonight - sounds like it's mostly precautionary. Erne in and DeSmith getting his first start of the season. interesting choice. VAN hasn't exactly been lighting it up with 3.33gpg, but they have the ability. think the Stars need to take this opponent seriously - especially after the last game against them.

The sound mixing sucks in Victory.  I crowd noise and you can’t even really hear the whistle.

Came on here to see if others have the same issue. We can’t hear the game/crowd. The announcers dominate the sound.

22 with the first goal, lol.

I think I’ve mention, have a group text among about 6 friends where we pick 1st goal. $6 if you win, and carryovers count. It can cost you about 100ish in June if you suck at picks.

Isn’t it a rule that if you don’t say no pics then you must post pics of mom ?

back at it tonight and three more at home before we hit the road for one against NSH. this three game slate will be tough with the "easiest" against CBJ tonight and then next two against LAK and CAR-rough slate to open the season

somehow or another this game is showing up on my local CW affiliate in Waco, even though it isn't listed on the program guide.  during commercials they have ads for New Orleans Pelicans and LSU sports.   so I don't know what the fuck is going on but I'll take it

The program guide says wrasslin as well.  But it is the Stars broadcast with the Victroy plus logo at the top right.  Commercials are now a mix of Fox 8 New Orleans and the Waco CBS and CW channels

team is ass.  coaching change could be a problem.

You may be wrong, but you may be right. I'm not sure how much is coaching versus skill versus injuries. I told myself I'd give us to game 10 or 11 to make my first season hot take. Gonna have to hope for a superb outing against Carolina and then a couple wins to round out the first eighth. It's still early, but I'm not feeling fuzzy. I'm also not panicking

sure.  I know it is a hot take  and we aren't even 10% in.   who really knows but D does not look very good.  I'll admit I'm not up on NHL coaches but the hire seemed very meh...we'll see.

They couldn’t wait to get rid of him in Calgary. Why would we hire a guy that barely made it two years there? Anyone know? Just because he was an assistant for the team that kicked our ass?

It was the second very short offseason in a row.  And it's a team that's focused entirely on April and May.  I'm not entirely surprised that they've come out in October looking a bit lackluster.  

That being said--the defense is terrible.  And that needs to be addressed soon.

Forget Calgary. That was seven seasons ago. We ran him out of town a few seasons before that. Top assistant for a top team is the norm in the NFL, not sure about NHL. He ran Edmonton’s lethal power play — but he was rolling out McDavid and Draisatl. That helps.

The defense looks really bad. Or Otter is off. I haven’t really watched enough to form a strong opinion one way or the other. Early returns are that we’ve taken a step back behind the bench but there’s no doubt DeBoer couldn’t continue after the shit that went down in the playoffs last spring.

Made it to first 2 periods with my kid before taking off as way too late on a school night.  Fuck the NHL for allowing TV (and f'n ESPN + at that, not even national) to dictate late start times. 8:15 puck drop for a Thursday October game is ridiculous (and 2nd time already).  Really devalues season tix when they pull that crap.   That being said, I thought Stars actually played a lot better overall.  Weak call leading to a 5 on 3 goal and then LA's 2nd goal was the epitome of puck luck.   We needed to finish some of those opportunities particularly in the first.  Oh well.

And yeah, got home to watch end of game and OT and the horns down celebration from a Swede was......something.
