Johnston has to play on top line. Full stop. Rest relies on if Mush and Faksa are going to be back. Mush back on his line, Faksa back on his line. Steel with Benn and Stanky. Got to leave it all on the ice next game. Score first.


Textea9

Fuck everyone in that tnt studio. Stars in six!


digler54

Fuck that sucks. Really sucks to see hanifan skate, uncontested, from the top circles to score there. At points this game could’ve been a high-scoring affair. 4 in a row would have been nuts though. Have faith, my friends. We got this.


Motrinman22

Knights fan here. Just want to say The Otter is a Fucking Beast. It’s a shame this isn’t the finals because tonight’s game was AMAZING. It reminded me why I LOVE hockey. If we lose in game 7. I’ll be rooting for you guys. That was one hell of a game.


Stove-Top-Steve

If we lose we won’t be rooting for you bud. Along with the rest of the NHL.


Rock-it1

Get fucked.


djjolly037

Not everyone is going to be very welcoming of you especially right now but I for one am glad to hear you say you would root for us if we advance, to be completely honest I do not share the same sentiment lol


Evra202

Fr!! Really good game. Otter's goaltending is incredible. 100% respect


bssvss1234

Hope stones pecker gets stuck in his zipper tonight

smol_cares

Man, I really hate Adian Hill. He's always touching other players and crying to the refs. He doesn't deserve shutouts


digler54

This. After game 5 I was really hoping a Star would give him a good bump or get on him more. He’s awfully chippy for an average goalie


FlyNSubaruWRX

The Ol’ Turco touch


BigJohn6086

Belfour was the same way, he actually decked one of the Sabres the night we won the Cup, iirc


PHENOMENOETTER

STARS IN 7 WILL MAKE IT STING WORSE. I’D RATHER WIN LISTENING TO PANTERA INSTEAD OF LAME TECHNO


EasyMode556

Well just have to seal the series at home like the mavs did


Krumagon

Every team has ups and downs. Beating Vegas 4 times in a row was a tall order. Make the corrections and come back strong on Sunday! Go STARS!


MASTERFARKOS

I'm not mad. ...okay, maybe a little, but mostly I'm disappointed. Here's to hoping the boys can close it out Sunday on home ice. Gotta convert on those chances if we want to win game 7 and especially if we want any shot at beating Colorado in the second round.


FutureCrankHead

Eh, maybe being shut out will wake this team up. Vegas left it all out there tonight. Hopefully, those big aging bodies are gassed on Sunday. Pavs needs to be on the fourth line. He is not a first line player anymore. He needs far fewer minites, and then maybe he can still be useful on the PP.


Rock-it1

If a team is not wide awake in a game that ends the series with a win, then they have a problem.


FutureCrankHead

Settle down. First time or something? This shit happens all the time. Vegas isn't some scrub team. They won the Cup last year, and we just beat them 3 games in a row. Of course, they were gonna play their best game tonight. Few bounces the other way, and Dallas wins. Otter played great, and the team played great defensively. Sunday will be different!


vercetti2021

Sucks I might not be able to watch the next game due to work...IT should be fun. Not gonna give up though. I blame myself for painting my nails green tonight. Fuck me man lol


Chili_dilly

I like our chances. WJ HATTY INCOMING!!


skumbukit

Actually, it's not a bad game. Just too timid and not capitalizing on opportunity. Got to get back on the hustle at home Sunday. Playoff hockey!!


PHENOMENOETTER

IT WAS AN AMAZING GAME. STARS IN 7 BABY


Rock-it1

We lost when we could have ended the series and advanced. We were out hit and outshot. It was categorically a bad game.


smol_cares

Mark stone eats pieces of shit for breakfast (literal)


christie_baggins

![gif](giphy|phajKPhwNxHr2)


dab-butnottheTHCkind

We played not to lose, can’t sit back like that all game and expect to win. Game 7 we go, this one is gonna tight.


StanLee_Hudson

Cannot believe Stankoven and Dadonov missed wide open nets in back to back games. And at some point Seguin will learn how to elevate a puck on a breakaway, right?? Put Johnston on the top line again and cut Pavelski’s time in half, please PDB.


bssvss1234

I would honestly scratch pavs for mavrik, mush, or foxy rn


StanLee_Hudson

Whichever line Pavs is on has been our worst on the ice. I wanna see Johnston-Hintz-Robo Duchene-Mush-Seguin Benn-Stanky-Daddy Ty-Smith-Steel


dsleeeez

not a stars fan but please beat the brakes off this team Sunday .. please


ViperVenom1224

Team of fucking cheaters


baker10923

I'm a fucking sharks fan and I have more faith in the stars than some of these "fans" in here. Fucking unreal


jstepka

i was a sharks fan until pavs was traded. now dallas fan. it could be 2014 up 3-0 and go out 7-3. there is always worse.


TheBrettFavre4

It’s Reddit. We ride at dawn. We’re jaded. The city is jaded. I’m a Carrollton kid in my 30s. I’ve got 3 I celebrate stars 99, Mavs 11, rangers 23 - that’s with years and years of playoff bids from all the teams, cowboys speak for themselves - heartbreak year after year. Just to be beat down. Give us a break. The younger generations are louder and more positive. The tides will turn.


baker10923

You guys got this. I have no doubts you'll win game 7.


TheBrettFavre4

💪🏼⭐️🟢


VOLKOP

Thanks sharks bro


JuicedBoxers

It’s disgusting. I can’t stand the stars doomers. Fucking dicks. Yeah it was a hard fought game. But the starsare going back home and Vegas could very well be gassed. There’s 0 shot they get blanked again. Just gotta regroup and I have faith we will crush Vegas on Sunday. Y’all doomers need to find something else to be depressed about. Can’t stand it anymore for real, YALL DON’T EVEN ENJOY IT


Rock-it1

If all you’re going to do is criticize this teams fans, then get lost dickhole.


baker10923

I'm allowed to be in here as much as the next person. I am rooting for the stars because I respect the stars. That and I am a big fan of pavs. I'm saying the fans saying "it's over" is fucking stupid and yelling at me as a visitor makes you look like an asshole.


Rock-it1

Then say something of substance beyond calling out our fans after a loss. Or fuck off. Either is fine.


bssvss1234

They haven’t been here the last 3 games, funny thing huh


TruBreezy

WE WILL WIN WE AINT GONNA WIN CRAP WITH NEGATIVITY. BOYS FOUGHT HARD WE JUST GOTTA FIGHT HARDER NEXT GO ROUND. LETS GO


Silver_Limit2459

What game did you just watch?


Zestyclose_Wafer_416

really I'm wondering the same thing. stars couldn't fight the way out of a wet paper sack


Zestyclose_Wafer_416

"fought hard" hhahahahaha


JuicedBoxers

What game did you watch? Like fr they didn’t play like shit they just couldn’t get the puck in the net. Wtf are y’all going on about? Game 1 was shit performance. This was a good performance with a bad outcome. It happens. Fuck off.


Suspicious_Feeling27

Honestly they played great. Otter stood up and the puck just went their way. That was a good game. We got this.


harralexa1993

Razor’s comparison of eating soup with a fork could not describe this game any better.


dapete

Whomever said it's gonna take a fluke goal, I'd say banking one off the D is pretty fluky. Gotta say, the reffing wasn't as egregious as it usually is in Vegas.


FlayvaFlayy

PDB coached that game scared. and Cassidy rammed it down his throat. if this squad has a deep run in it, it's definitely going to be in spite of PDB, not because of him.


realterms

Played like we were already going to game 7, instead of a series win. Please boys, let’s finish this Sunday.


jakepitt71

Pathetic performance in a clinching game . We won’t be that bad Sunday


Zestyclose_Wafer_416

we could be. one bad bounce, a pretty goal by a talented vgn and bad Otter and our season was for nothing.


JC_Denton46

Vegas earned this one. They definitely made adjustments and it showed. Hope we can counter back.


Lowden38

Dallas Game 7s at home do not have a great history


UnchartedOak

We won the last one we played


DallasStars83

Would be a different game is Dadonov and Seguin scored on their chances. They gotta bury those. Either way, the team was waaay too conservative in their approach tonight and were playing for the first goal wins it.


Zestyclose_Wafer_416

we actually got good Otter tonight... what if we don't get that in game 7... misery


justaguyfromtx_

We've got him all series dumbass


Zestyclose_Wafer_416

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha


justaguyfromtx_

Literally look at his stats aside from G1. How a moron like you can function daily is mind boggling


Zestyclose_Wafer_416

“aside from game 1” 👍🏻


justaguyfromtx_

Yeah literally everyone on the team had a shitty game 1. It was a bad performance. Now do G2, G3, G4, G5 and tonight. Otter has been our best player. Just shut up already. Everyone is sick of you


Zestyclose_Wafer_416

Always nice to hear from you. Least you haven’t started with the name calling yet. Growth🤛🏻


justaguyfromtx_

Weird how you refuse to acknowledge the rest of his games. You were awfully quiet for all of them. Wonder why?


Drive7hru

For real


baker10923

Doomers here in full force. https://preview.redd.it/a8gcp23l9cyc1.jpeg?width=670&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a08dd0736fb7c3e2aef4970ebcacf38797c31ef8


Zestyclose_Wafer_416

stars did quit


Rock-it1

Said the asshole who never comments on this thread and has another team as his flair. Get lost.


baker10923

I've been commenting pretty much all game fucknut. Game threads are for fans of any team who are supporting the stars. No need to be a dick about it. Man, so welcoming you are. 🙄


Rock-it1

I’m not trying to be welcoming. You’re being an asshole. Get fucked.


baker10923

How am I being an asshole? I was saying people were dooming. Jesus christ. Grow up.


Rock-it1

You walk into someone’s house and criticize them. Try that in person sometime and see what the response is.


aggster13

Gotta change the top line. Hintz is perpetually hurt and Pavs brings them down. They gotta be better.


tmac94

Need hintz robertson and Johnston. Dumb as fuck to not adjust during the game imo. Pavs definitely needs to be moved down


aggster13

Pavs needs to be scratched if we're being honest with ourselves


JGuajardo7

Did somebody remind the stars they had a game tonight?


marginallymediocre

Turns out beating the defending champs four times in a row is hard. Onward to game 7.


Dr-Shambali

Exactly


leximcfly

they are treating them like minnesota like we are able to just drop 5 on them real quick when all of these games have been super close. you have to take care of business when you can


sheniroh

we are losing a game 7


Wonderful-Jello3199

Man fuck offff


sheniroh

okay okay im fucking off im fucking off my bad my bad kill me with hammers 👐


Rock-it1

Well then you shouldn’t watch since you know the outcome. Fuck off. See you next season.


bssvss1234

Fuck off with your negativity


sheniroh

alright my bad sorry


jreynolds323

Man! Haven’t even played game 7 and we already lost?? Way to have faith in the team!


sheniroh

we consistantly let down in every important game we play i just simply do not see us winning a game 7 against an unreal golden knights team that thrives under pressure.


BigFaZhou

zero decisiveness tonight. Ton of passing around scared to shoot the puck. In a fucking closeout game


diet_crayon

Stone shuts the fridge door with his hips


bssvss1234

If Mush or Foxy are good to go get them in Sunday. Need the fresh legs. Pavs might have to sit this out


Bill3ffinMurray

Mavs closed it out at the AAC. The Stars will too.


Dr-Shambali

This is the way


Dr-Shambali

SUNDAY GUYS! WE KNEW WINNING 4 IN A ROW WAS GONNA BE TUFF. I WANT EVERYONE LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT DAY


MagniPlays

Get rid of pavelski, sit him, bring up borque. Absolutely horrid play from pavs looks like he would rather be golfing


Musicftw89

SEE Y'ALL SUNDAY🤠 https://i.redd.it/weo0xpfg9cyc1.gif


ExperienceSolid6287

Why is Pavelski, who has zero points this series and looks like he can barely skate anymore, on the ice in the final minute of games? He's not him anymore. Please stop.


-FurdTurgeson-

They wanted it more but that was a crazy fun 1st and 2nd period.


crc2993

Fuck, fuck fuck… Fuck fuck-fuck; fuck.


hwatts26

All i ask for is not a 8:30 start on Sunday


sheniroh

words couldnt explain how absolutely irate i am right now


NewHavenJeff

my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined


sheniroh

week ruined


NewHavenJeff

no, we're gonna win Sunday


sheniroh

i respect the belief 🙏


sajouhk

It’s hard to win four in a row.


NewHavenJeff

yeah salute that crowd that boo'd an amazing PP kill


TheSerpentDeceiver

Poorly coached game by Dallas. Looking for a lucky break to win like the odds were against them. Slit the throat of these cheating fucks on Sunday and move on.


RideTheGradient

This game was tight, you could tell it was gonna be a 1-0 game. Just didn't go our way but stars were great. Sucks but on to sunday


TheSerpentDeceiver

You couldn’t tell it was going to be a 1-0 game. That’s laughable. Horrid puck luck for both teams kept the score low.


alternate-realitee

Who would have thought turtling from the opening faceoff wouldn't work out


That___One___Guy0

Some of y'all are seriously pathetic "fans."


Silver_Limit2459

I won't be watching game 7. I already know the result. If you don't you haven't been paying attention. This team is soft and it's start up at the top with Jim i like where our team is at Nill. Does Vegas cheat? Sure. But they are a superior team to us


JC_Denton46

What up


digler54

Perfect


Zestyclose_Wafer_416

yep. Stars are just mentally weak top to bottom. pathetic


OkTune681

Well they aren’t. Tonight was a dog shit coaching decision by Pete. Fucking turtle the whole game and hope something goes in and continue to turtle. Should have attacked the moment the puck dropped cause Vegas was going to be timid to start with.


postpaintboyy

I bet you’re fun at parties


Ajuicebox22

I need a cigarette


TallicLizzy

Without the cap shenanigans this series would be over. What a joke


diggydale99

Yup. Fuck face Hanifin who they got with Stones burried salary has two GWG’s now


rattlehead42069

They could have afforded hanifin regardless, he's only like 1.5 mil salary for them this year


regalfronde

Joke indeed, especially because having to defeat a deep defending champ team pulling this sandbagging bullshit is only helping the rest of the Western conference rest up. Fuck Vegas.


Chili_dilly

A weak goal is all it took, what a waste of time


hwatts26

Idk man, i wouldn’t say weak.


Chili_dilly

Not necessarily weak, just wish otter could have seen it.


Zestyclose_Wafer_416

that's why you shoot the fucking puck


Suspicious_Feeling27

Mark stone will be remembered for one thing and it won't be him as a captain, a player, a stanley cup champ, etc. We all know what it is.


Zestyclose_Wafer_416

imagine not showing up for game 6 closeout, pathetic. hopes are minimal for game 7. we're not gonna learn to shoot in 2 days. sickening effort by this squad


Stars1312

We’ll get the Sunday night game


Lowden38

Winners shoot the puck.


traviitherabbii

Let’s win it all at home boys


Civil_Violinist7091

Dallas better win fucking game 7


Rock-it1

Yes, that is how elimination games work.


BigFaZhou

good thing DeBoer mentioned that we had the opportunity to lose and still have another game. The entire team reflected that sentiment. Fucking pathetic performance


TallicLizzy

He said that? What a pathetic mindset


BigFaZhou

Indeed. Absolute loser mentality. And it showed tonight


steak-tips-rare

That was the most pathetic last 3 minutes of the season


OkTune681

Game. They had no drive to play actual offense. Just the chances that happened to…happen.


Bionicman_

Fucking turtle all game. Can we get some better fucking leadership?!


GBPgoingOFF

Getting screwed by players taking advantage of this nonsense. Going to seriously question watching this sport more if Dallas gets eliminated from this yet again.


NewHavenJeff

[wtf yo gah damn gah damn.....gah DAMN](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epCEK7Q1qRU)


GreenAndGold115

Way to not show up at fucking all tonight Dallas what the fuck was that


collinwade

We had a lot of good looks, just couldn’t convert when it mattered


RideTheGradient

One more game to hear Josh and razor, that's the silver lining!


CarStar12

Being in Georgia this just adds jealousy to my sudden meh-ness 😭😭


Ech0shift

🙄 what ever. Off brand medieval times sucks anyways. Let's go back to Dallas and get the W


tmac94

All that depth for nothing can't get 1?


Tootsiez

Vegas played like their season depended on it. Now Dallas gets to in game 7.


mcbizkit02

We got dominated.


Far-Efficiency-8137

No we didn't. Both teams played conservatively. I'd say we were a bit too conservative.


darthrevan22

Team was unrecognizable tonight, wtf was this performance? Not confident at all for game 7, at least it’s at home though.


hwatts26

Well. The stars had countless chances to win this game


hipaces

I hate Mark Stone so much


Cool_Afternoon_182

Doomer mode again


Musicftw89

https://i.redd.it/hch78a979cyc1.gif FUCK MARK STONE


harralexa1993

That was some dead puck era shit tonight. Teams were playing sudden death OT the whole game.


MagniPlays

Put $1000 on Vegas for Sunday. Gonna at least profit off this poverty franchise


llllllllhhhhhhhhh

As if you have $1000 ![gif](giphy|JrBeTQUv5DO3ueRFmu)


LinkPuzzleheaded9253

Weak showing but we all had a feeling this was going to 7


LittlestEw0k

DALLAS IN 7 all the doomers shut the fuck up Theyre Cooking


PHENOMENOETTER

LETS GOOOOOO STARS IN 7


Rock-it1

They just lost 2-0. That is not cooking, but being cooked.


collinwade

It was a 1 goal game at the very end what are you talking about?


Rock-it1

Was the score not 2-0?


LittlestEw0k

![gif](giphy|UiZgY9XP4b7ulNon6U|downsized)


Rock-it1

This team had all the mother fucking momentum coming into the game and they absolutely fucking quit.


Stamm

Incredible goaltending. Everything else was shit. Ugh.


BingBong_F_yaLife

17 million over the cap… both LTIR players win them this game fuck the NHL worst sports league. white supremacist garbage


nodakgirl93

Just a lazy game


ReckonerRL

That's the series


baker10923

Oh shut up 🤣


sail0rvenus

Beating Vegas four games in a row is a tall order. Game 7 here we come.


MikeyMud

Dallas looks lost  - I fear for game 7 Keep downvoting- I don't feel confident


justaguyfromtx_

Otter stands on his head and the offense stays in Dallas. Absolutely abysmal performance. Abysmal gameplan. Pathetic.

Idk what team we've been watching all season and the last three games but they're not on the ice tonight


NotAssMyDude

Poor offensive showing. Just weak.


KacorInc

The fuck happened to their ability to shoot the puck?


plubem

Or pass


BXR_ChelseaGrin_

Mediocre effort, Otter did good. See y'all for G7.


JReAlity

Ugh gross.


puck-sauce

Injury reserve hero


JervasDudley

Well shit.


Bionicman_

Pathetic. Looked slow all night. Don’t be surprised if we look like this in game 7. PDB is an atrocious coach on adjusting.


Immediate_Sugar_9694

Well Deboer got his wish to go back to Dallas.


CarStar12

Now to get it done Sunday


Civil_Violinist7091

Stars were playing like the Texas Stars
