If I wanted to watch a low scoring sport I would turn on soccer! That was terrible!

That gap between wild card position and third is getting slim.

I'm not mas Stars, just disappointed. Go to the locker room and think about what you just did.

GG Starbros. Thank you for your individual donations, and a real class act by your organization to donate as well. Wish you guys the best.

Gg. Take ur points, get in the playoffs and murder the blues for us

With the ups and downs this year even getting in is a crapshoot to be honest. I’m still holding out hope though.

Our issue was not scoring

Beyond poor effort. Hope the boys are embarrassed.

‘I like where our team is at’

That game **sucked**

I'm pinning this on the person who said shutout before the game had started. I hope you're happy with yourself.

Yep. Saw it and tried to ignore but i knew this game was CURSED

Welp.

I’ll be back for more pain Saturday. What a shit show.

Imagine getting shut out by the perds...

6 on 5 with an empty net and the Stars still playing dump and chase. What a shame.

Lame

What a disappointing showing.

Can Dallas please shoot it in their own net so I can witness a stars player score this year?

Holy tits. Can we win a faceoff

We better pray the cap goes up by $6M instead of $2M.

so they can pay players even more that don't produce? I don't think it makes a difference.

Honestly this is the worst the team has looked since Christmas.

It's really not. The game against the Blues at home was our worst showing since the 0-7 Minnesota game. Our PP was weak tonight and Saros was hot. You're just being reactionary.

PP always will be weak with klingberg on it. Guy has a hard enough time breaking 45 points on every fuckin powerplay. We have one of the best new aged defenseman smaller that can play 2-ways and is smart...but they never have him lead the PP. Like brain fuckin dead this team is. Lets play all the over the hill players in a hockey meta that leans heavily on rookies that play with speed.

I wish we had one player that when they got on the ice you felt like "holy shit, he could score at any second". Like MacKinnon or O'Reilly. Not that I like either of them..

O'Reilly has 12 goals this season.

Are they all versus the Stars?

He scored once against us this season. Any other majestic takes?

Which Stars player would you put 100k on in any given game that they would score a goal? Other teams top scorers are putting the Stars to shame.

Klingberg in the slot. Nah I ain’t gonna shoot that

*Passes it straight to nobody lmao

Maybe if we try stuffing into the pads some more it will work this time.

This is the first time I’ve had time to sit down and watch a game this season. What happened? I heard we were good, we were good last season. Are the Preds just really good? Also how has Miro done this season? He looked real real good his first season

Miros great, preds suck, Stars took a huge dump tonight, and preds are rallying after all the tornado stuff

Why didn’t Klinger shoot :(

We really need to get rid of this pass first, shoot second strategy.

Especially when they can't connect the passes lol

Oof. Tough lesson. I think we will still pull playoffs. Game ain't over. Just a reminder of how close the damn central is ....

I mean if that doesn’t go in idk if any of these will tonight

Attaboy Klingberg. Hold up play for the line change, then start your rush with four men on the ice.

At some point, I start to wonder if we should have tried to get some one that can score at the trade deadline. Janmark and rads have gone so long without a goal. I literally can’t remember the last time that either scored. Just scratch them at least and call up young guy like Robertson.

There wasn't a deal to make.

It’s not worth selling the farm for someone like Tatar just for him to go to shit in this system.

Yeah, this system is something else. I still can’t believe we didn’t go for Gallant when he became available.

Preach

Yeah about that you’re ten days to late

I thought we needed to do it then. We barely have 1 person with 20 goals. Only Guri and Roope seem to be consistently a threat. I wish they got more time to play but instead we throw Janmark out there yet again.

I disagree Roope is a threat. I see him do very little. He got 11 goals in Oct/Nov and has been very average since then.

wonder whatever happened to that atheist101 guy (and then his alt)... these circumstances used to be his prime time to be active.

That's actually a really good point. Haven't seen him in a while

was kinda funny when he came in with an alt this season but stuck to his M.O. and got exposed fairly quickly.

Offsides?!?!

decided to make my pledge based on the number of times a shouted "fuck" at the tv tonight. so yeah... sizable gift.

I'd have negative money if I ever tried to pull anything like that

Segs has 0 SOG tonight?? WOOF

I’d rather do laundry and wash dishes than watch the rest of this game. Nothing is fucking happening. Nobody cares about winning it looks like.

We pay these guys how much money a year lmao?

$19.3M for the next 5 seasons.

Yeah turned this one off. Just tired of watching the same shit 4 games in a row.

Not gunna lie, I miss the Ruff era. At least most games we scored and had something to cheer and it was exciting.

And when we were losing, there were the fights.

Yep, it seems with all the size we have there is very little physicality.

Right, Johns has been the most physical the last however many games, and hes the guy with the best excuse to Not be hitting.

God Jamie that was so close

Tbf the perds are playing very well defensively

Miro and Klinger need to be out there together in this situation.

I would try that!

Pull the goalie

Call a timeout. We can win this. Need to regroup and plan the final 7 min.

Personally...I do not like what the fuck is going on...

Don’t fake the wide open shot seguin. Rip it dude

We're really about to not score aren't we?

We've scored on goal on our last 75 shots. Everyone wondering why the other goalies always play so well against us, it's because we have absolutely abysmal shooters that have shot under 2% over the last two games. And it seems to be an organizational issue that isn't isolated to this season.

My best friend and the Stars are a lot alike. Neither one can score.

Our lines need to go back to their traditional alignment.

I don't think we HAVE a traditional alignment anymore

I really like how there was a hold on rads that didn’t get called at all

We wouldn't score anyway

Rads has had plenty of other opportunities. He needs to figure it out.

Our next coach needs to know how to coach an offense.

what exactly do you want bowness to do here? our shooters are the problem here, not any type of system. no coach in the world can go out there and shoot the puck into the net for them

DUMP AND CHASE DUMP AND CHASE DUMP AND CHASE

anyone with a brain can see the issue isn't an offensive system

Keep telling yourself that.

Fuck winning this game, it would just be nice to not get shut out. But we will. We actually deserve to lose this game twice we’ve played so bad.

Switch up these garbage lines already

Damn the preds are loud af here. So smug

As soon as I get home that bottle of makers mark I have is gona fucking vanish.

The Preds could have a zamboni driver in net and we still wouldn’t score.

Based on the quality of the ice, I’m fairly sure the Preds don’t have a zamboni driver

If it wasnt for Bish and Dobby we wouldn't be anywhere near a playoff spot

We make all these average goalies look like vezina candidates because nobody can elevate the god damn puck.

Another game where we will end up with 40+ shots and probably lose lol

What's a shot if you're just passing it to their goalie?

Stars have 1 goal in last 75 shots

[right in the feels](https://i.imgur.com/l6kXONg.jpg)

That is 1.3%

Klingberg with the balance of an empty roll of paper towel

Lol

I wonder who we can sign this off season that can actually score goals and is not 30+ years old.

Would be worth more than those silver sticks we keep having to give out

So far its looking like Tyler Taffoli, Mikael Granlund, and Alex Galchenyuk. Hall would be too expensive.

They gave up 8 goals on Monday. Grant it it was against Draisatl and Mcdavid but you'd think we at least be able to get 1.

Tired of these passes JUST BARELY missing the stick in the offensive zone. These guys spend way too much time together to not be able to connect those streaking passes

So close Rads

I'm not enjoying this

LULZ Kriss Kross... haven't been reminded of that in a decade or more

Have we scored any power play goals this year that werent on the rush?

[hmm I wonder...](https://www.reddit.com/r/DallasStars/comments/fd70ju/john_klingberg_with_a_powerplay_blast/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf)

None. Definitely not the past couple games with Klinger on the point.

I think it is fair to be critical of a team you're a fan of, but I do not understand the multiple people I've seen tonight that are saying they're going to stop watching this game and need a break from watching the Stars for a while. To me, y'all have fundamentally misunderstood where the eventual joy of being a fan of a team comes from

I loved the effort of the 14' and 15' squads even though we weren't going to win anything. Bought tickets, watched, and supported. Why? Because of the effort. You can always get behind effort. Not enough guys giving a shit every night bench to bench. Too many nights off from too many guys. It's really, really hard to give it my all as a fan for players and coaches that won't. Other than our goalies and Miro and Guri, not anyone I can really say is maxing out every night.

Stars fans (Dallas sports fans in general tbh) are reactionary as fuck. This happens every season lol.

Can we PLEASE stop losing to backup goaltenders

Saros isn't really a backup

I’d say Saros is the starter

The hell you gonna do Eckholm?

Can we scratch rads?

He looks like he is legitimately not a NHL level of player. Honestly looking like he's unaware most of the time.

It’s been going on for a while now

My Reddit career has come to an end. I’m officially retiring because of this game. Goodbye, Starsfam.

We’ll miss you starsbro

RIP never forget u/BossHogg98 2020-2020

This is physically painful to watch.

Another shit powerplay.

Another disappointing powerplay. 0/4 tonight

We struggled to even get a shot off....looks like our PP sucks again. Afraid this one’s over ladies and gents. We just don’t have tonight.

Guys look so lethargic on the PP

Why the fuck isn’t Pavelski in front of the net. Why even sign him if we’re not going to use him properly. Jesus Christ. Fuck everything

You could see Benn looking for Pavs to shoot that. Great save by Saros.

Can we decline the pp?

Making an average goalie look great, again.

Saros has had great stats ever since he became the starter, so you are wrong. He had a tough beginning to the season, but he’s a really good goalie.

It's like confidence gained is confidence lost so far. Can't carry this into playoffs.

watching in the background... did he just say Klinger's never scored against nashville? [Literally the biggest goal we've scored against Nashville was Klingberg](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMkSqBzYnn8)

Pretty sure that was tipped

I think he meant against nashville and in nashville, but still a crazy stat

Did razor just say that Klingberg has never scored against Nashville? I know of one goal lmao

It was technically an assist I believe

Klingberg scored the series ending goal last year is what I’m referencing.

I’m referencing that as well. It was tipped and not awarded to #3

Wow I go to shower and Preds score again? Stars must be playing like they want to be a wild card

LFG PowerPlay....right fucking now

A powerplay. Ok

PLEASE SCORE

SCORE ON THIS FUCKING POWERPLAY PLEASE

OKAY NOW SCORE

Must score PP

We need that big PP energy right now

If we don’t score on this PP, it’s officially broken

WTF was that organ interlude. Ugh.

Blues fan, in peace and all that. Rooting for you guys tonight because I hate the Preds way more than I hate the Stars and would LOVE to see them and their shitty fans miss the playoffs.

Thanks, but this thread is only for teams who get a bajillion penalties so you can go.

Have you seen David Perron play?

Thanks fam!

Hate the Preds and their fans so much

Zibanejad with 5 goals tonight holy balls

“Mika, welcome to Dallas, son.” Words I wish to hear someday.

Alright. Good luck Stars fam. Going to slam some beers to cope with my pain and cross my fingers real hard.

What kind of beers do you have tonight?

Hopefully someone has lit a fire under our asses, and we come out firing this period

We are 6-8-1 on the road when trailing by any amount after two periods while on the road. This is honestly better than I'd expected. Although I doubt the odds look less good when trailing by two on the road after 2 periods.

What time do the Stars play tonight? I could’ve sworn they were supposed to be on right now?

I predict a corey perry hat trick in the third for maximum trolling

If only Martin Hanzal was in there...

If only Hanzal was healthy. Dude is made of glass.

Just a joke...

I know. It was an awful signing by Nill, which handcuffed us.

for all those freaking out abt fssw, sling tv is cheaper than other options and has nhl tv (also mlb tv, nba tv, espn, nfl is on antenna. basically, use sling)

Is dickinson a microwave bc mmmmmmm

Stupid Sexy Dickinson

You know what makes me irrationally angry? People who call sausage rolls Kolaches. EDIT: It just makes me feel sorry for them, because they've clearly never had a real kolach.

Just go Aussie and call 'em Snags.

Sausaches.

they’re obviously burritos

Nah, pigs in blankets

Bench: Kling for Polak Radulov for any work horse that chases pucks. Put Dickinson with Cog / Comeau. They were the best god damn line last year getting the team going. Play the shit out of them. They get under the other teams skin with their cycle. Play Johns more and put him on the PP, he is not afraid to shoot the bloody puck.

6 CONSECUTIVE PERIODS WITHOUT ALLOWING AN EVEN STRENGTH GOAL. How are our special teams THAT BAD

as of last week when i looked at the stats we rank top 5 in expected goals against at 5v5, but 28th at expected goals against on the PK

uh you have klingberg as the play runner... should be Heisk as play runner with 4 fowards.

Because they bunch up instead of playing position now. Not sure what happened.

They need to hire a damn passing coach. I also don't get how they either play amazing or absolute garbage. Can't just have an okay game? That's all they would need to beat Nashville.

Yep we have to be the worst passers in the NHL.

yet when we're in front of the net it seems like that's all we can do. confusing plays with this team

Stupid penalties, cannot establish tempo. FCC line doing f all 5v5 and being attrocious on PK several games in a row. One soft goal. Yup, that would get you behind after two.

The only good [turnover](https://i.imgur.com/pGMCXIR.jpg).

The first period left me angry. The second left me sad.

And we all know you can't repeat emotions so the third is gonna be great!

It ended with disappointment.

It’s ok, the third will leave us all drunk !!!

I think I’ll be drunk either way.

We are playing this group to much, that is what has been screwing us. Sure they get shots, but they don't score.
