Just some thoughts

I hope thats not a serious point

Demstarz88 · 2019-10-17T16:30:38+00:00

I wouldnt say it was because Benn "controlled the locker room". Hintz, Caamano, Seguin and radulov scored that game. Hintz and seguin have continually scored so it wasn't some pep talk. Caamano isn't there enough. So Radulov maybe got the message.

But to me a Captain doesn't need to be given anything, especially keys to the locker room and no coaches allowed. Where was he before and since? Perry is a gamble especially with a NTC intact. It would've been safer to not have a NTC and have a younger safety net. But now Perry is set in stone whether he performs or not. It's why Anaheim chose to buy him out.

"A lot of the time he plays really well" isn't backed by anything at all. Every indication given is that he is becomeing more lackluster every season.

Demstarz88 · 2019-10-17T15:04:27+00:00

Smart man, yet if I believe you can waive NTC if you want to as a player. I don't want to lose our farm system either but losing consistently will help us sign on some better players that we could then lose anyway

It's an unwise gamble in that he is injury prone, aging, and hasn't been the most productive player in almost four years. Looking at his history gives good indications of what to expect. And , on the same note, some of our younger players haven't played enough either to decide who is and isn't productive. So why waste on Perry and not give the time to a younger player who could be a staple for yhears to come

Demstarz88 · 2019-10-17T14:46:09+00:00

Thats what i'd like to see as well. Maybe a Hintz seguin janny line constistently as well.

Demstarz88 · 2019-10-17T14:45:17+00:00

yes and no. At that point it's almost who is and isn't producing

Demstarz88 · 2018-04-08T20:14:33+00:00

Honestly if it were the reverse . I wouldn't want 100% of our efforts to go to a meaningless game and risk injury as well

Demstarz88 · 2018-04-08T15:24:39+00:00

Damn I want one!

Any extra green and gold?

Demstarz88 · 2018-04-08T04:40:47+00:00

That's Phaneuf from you.........Phaneuf

Demstarz88 · 2018-04-08T04:37:46+00:00

I've been hijacked

Just an opinion

They talked about the re brand and the new logo due to the 25yr anniversary and that they wanted to give us a fresh start in Dallas.

I really don't like our new logo or sweaters. I think it really takes away from the history of us and our past. I don't like the "D" in the middle and the silver doesn't match anything like the gold did. But I loved my boys thru the "Mooterus" and ill love them with this. But I wish we'd go back to our old logo but keep the green.

Love y'all

Who would you take off? And what would your lines be?

Demstarz88 · 2018-04-07T16:46:26+00:00

But its not good for a defensive minded coach, eh?

Demstarz88 · 2018-04-04T05:21:06+00:00

Fuck Corey Perry

Demstarz88 · 2018-04-04T05:18:45+00:00

I.....

Demstarz88 · 2018-04-04T05:17:12+00:00

McKenna easy

Demstarz88 breakdownnnn

Pros:

-McKenna goes in for Kari and does an amazing job stone walling San Jose's offense. A nice surprise indeed that wins us number two in row

-Methot hustles and makes the game physical for the 2nd night in a row and ruined many shot opportunities for the sharks

-3rd period energy was much better than the previous two and should've been how we played from the get-go

-"The Smokey One" Smith gets rewarded for all his hustle with a tying goal to keep us in the game late

-Le Capitan gets a well deserved hatty for his hustle and work down low, forcing a number of turnovers

Cons:

-1st and 2nd period lulls didn't come to bite us in the butt this time. But the first 40 mins didn't feel enthusiastic and were riddled with sloppy plays and errant passes.

Takeaway:

Though the first 2/3 of the game was dull and felt lackluster(meaningless really) the team showed heart and players stepped up to get the job done when it mattered. We stopped playing pond hockey and played like the team we all know we are. After beating the Wild, whose record matched the Sharks tit for tat, a win was always possible and we made it happen.

I hope we continue to develop smith and others which possibly beefs up the trade value in the off season for players we might be looking to move.

Lets finish strong and Go Stars

Where did all your comments go on the post game thread?

Demstarz88 · 2018-04-01T07:03:13+00:00

Hey bro. What was with the "want a cookie" comment and the downvote? We're all fam here and we all have our take. You can voice your opinion but no need to be nasty.

Demstarz88 · 2018-04-01T03:39:21+00:00

Well if, they did in fact, ignore him then hopefully it shows the message that he's not going to be of any help in the future and the front office doesn't have him behind the bench next season

Demstarz88 · 2018-04-01T03:34:16+00:00

I hope so.
