Defense is ass

Got caught with four guys up ice as the PP expired, they chucked a bomb down the ice and Harley half ass swung his stick at it, whiffed and goal.

He better be pulling a Bobby Knight in the locker room during intermission

Well that period sucked. Gave up four and they could have easily had two more

Yup this one is done. Better figure out how to not give up 4 goals a game damn quick.

One more...

Beautiful play by Seguin.

Diving *****

Gully after the game: "This has been brewing," Stars coach Glen Gulutzan said postgame. "Our challenge is to manage the game right now when we're up. It's these leads where we tend to flatline a little bit."

"If you look at the goals, in my opinion, there's some risk to them when we got counterpunched when we could be a little more simple in those areas," Gulutzan said. "If you stay with kind of a simplistic game after you've established a lead, they take risks, and that's when you can come at them. But we're taking some unnecessary risks in my mind with leads."

Sounds to me like the guys are kinda freelancing right now, especially when we get up. PDB use to want to keep the foot down and bury teams with more goals, and it sounds like Gully wants us to be able to manage leads and games. I also don't see us being a ton more physical in front of net either. Sure, you don't want Miko, Robo, Hintz and Wyatt camped out there because that doesn't utilize their skills, but other guys like Bourque, Sequin. Steel, Blackwell need to taking up way more space in front on net.

I think this team can get there, but it's going to take some more time and maybe some different players.

We're not a good team and I'm worried

These games just seem to always happen when Binnington is in net.

I still think this is a good team, but I'm a bit worried about our depth this year.

I agree that we are still short 1 legit D guy. Ideally it'd be somebody that can pair with Miro and get him back on his strong side. Hard to imagine winning the Cup without better D.

It's still waaaay too early in the season to worry.

Anybody want 2 tickets for Thursday the 23rd? Paid $30 each.

I genuinely like Schotty. I think he rides the line between fun players coach and hard ass that demands a certain way.

The threads are merging these days

Nils Lundkvist will be placed on IR and is considered week-to-week with a lower-body injury, Glen Gulutzan said.

They plan to recall a defenseman, but not yet, he said.

ETA: might as well add all of the injuries here.

Jamie Benn is still “weeks” away. But will begin to ramp things up soon to begin his return process. #TexasHockey https://t.co/8CHBZlkDN6

Matt Duchene did not practice today. Not a guarantee for tomorrow, still wait-and-see. Some lingering things from the last time he sat out. #TexasHockey

Stars game on channel 4 locally.

Do we suck?

Whoop! We needed that goal from Seguin.

Much better effort in that 2nd period.

We're less bad?

That'll about do it. Man Harley has been a huge disappointment this year so far.
