Series Discussion Western Conference Finals: Dallas Stars vs. Vegas Golden Knights | STARS WIN 4-1

[BigG44]

Oh ... and the Dallas Stars are freaking 1 win away from the Finals with 3 opportunities to get that win. So pumped ... Vegas is a great team it's going to be a battle to get that 12th win of the post-season.

With his demeanor I really don’t think the stage would be too big for Dellandrea. I think he would be fine and give the team a lot more grit and skill than Dowling.

 

[MBTendy]

I honestly can’t believe the team is 1 win away from the finals... feels surreal

If these playoffs have taught us anything I hope we aren't so quick to get down in the future. The GDT from last night is so bleak at times even though the Stars ended up winning. I guess the same can be said for series and players too for large stretches- I'm guilty of it too. Lets give the boys a little slack.

They were being outshot by a 3-1 margin halfway through the game, kinda hard to not get upset about it. I know the Stars game is to allow weak shots and limit the dangerous ones, but seeing the shot count at 21-7 is tough.

Edit: also, I have learned nothing! If they get outshot and give up the first goal, I’ll be calling for everyone to be traded again

I was wrong on Faksa being Ok. He has a chipped bone – about 2 weeks out. Hintz – day–to–day. Possible concussion.

Damn, sucks to hear but thank you for the update.

 

[FeedDaPuck]

TBH, I would keep 24 out and try to win with someone else in the lineup. Hit on Perry has not even been looked at by the league – what a joke.

So does this mean it wasn't Roope with the no feeling in his arm and blown knee?

It's clearly Seguin

 

[BigG44]

If Faksa misses 2 weeks ... that's a pretty massive loss.

I haven't seen it discussed in this thread IIRC ... but it looked like Vegas may have a bigger loss in Stone. Wonder what happens there. Pierre is annoying as hell, but it sure seemed like he was right that Stone could barely put any weight on his foot/ankle.

Dickinson played very well at Center last night after Hintz left the game.

 

[BigG44]

He played center the entire game. I agree he looked good though. He started as the checking line center with Cogliano and Comeau.

 

[catters078]

Dickinson becomes one of our most important players if Faksa is indeed out for ~2 weeks

 

[FeedDaPuck]

yes it does. and you can add another injury to that list, unfortunately

 

[FeedDaPuck]

That's great, but even if Dallas does close the series out in Game 5 – TB is not too far behind – no rest again.

Looked like he hurt it blocking a shot near the toe of his skate. May have broke it.

 

[Hockey Dad]

If Faksa is out that long then they have to think about Dellandrea. Dowling just is plain bad.

That is because for some reason the league is in love with Tuch.

Pretty sure it's his arm/wrist. He blocked a shot there too and was seen with it wrapped up in the locker room.

Id love to see Dellandrea, but Dowling isn’t that bad to be fair. He’s got some offence to his game, and he’s experienced enough to not make costly mistakes

I meant Stone. Looked like he might have broke a foot.

Ah, my bad. I think you're right.

 

[Hockey Dad]

While commenting on main board I thought one problem I have with Bowness. Why is Seguin still on the PP. He can’t hardly do anything on offensive end because of injury. Why not put someone else there.

 

[catters078]

Heiskanen will score tonight.
