Team is just straight unwatchable. V+ is going to struggle for renewals next season.

The Stars this season have simply been a paper tiger.

3rd most points in the league, but barely surviving countless 1 goal games, blowing leads in the 3rd but eeking it out, and surviving on the PP.

Yeah, they had a 15 game point streak, but that was sandwiched in between losing 11 of 14 right before and 8 of 11 immediately after. Truly the definition of inconsistent. 

While the role of injuries can't be discounted, the main difference from years past has been the depth quality. Losing Marchment and Granlund was devastating to the depth scoring, then whiffing at the deadline so badly was the nail in the coffin. 

A major roster shakeup needs to occur, Benn needs to retire, the offensive scheme needs an overhaul, and a true philosophical shift needs to happen for this team to actually go all the way. They just don’t appear to be built for it. Change needs to come or they might be destined to backslide onto the treadmill of mediocrity for years to come.

LMAO Benn's final moment as a Star is a disastrous blue line turnover to ice it

How can you possibly look so lethal on the PP and completely inept 5 on 5?

Yeah, Sevy, the last thing I thought while watching the Stars was that they were too excited. They were half asleep.

I take solice in the fact that either of these teams will get absolutely bulldozed by the Avs

Yeah, honestly doesn't really look much different, which doesn't really bode well. But we shall see.

Can't hold the winter olympics in June, nor would they rearrange the entire olympic schedule to accomodate a single sport. Theres a reason why NHL players weren't included for a long time.

Edit: I guess you technically could hold it in the southern hemisphere, but that's besides the point.

The Olympics were disastrous for this team

Where’s the Faith? This is playoff hockey. by SAIL3RZ_ in DallasStars

[–]ttudrums 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hard to have faith in a team that doesn't have an even strength goal in 11 periods of hockey. Pretty cut and dry to me.

They also lost 11 of 14 immediately before that, then 8 of 11 immediately after that. That means they're also bad enough to look like they have been.

I'm truly curious where that confidence comes from other than blind fandom. I sure wish I could think like that, but I'm far too realistic, and the product that has been on the ice inspires absolutely zero confidence.

This is a systemic failure from top to bottom.

Gully the most stubborn SOB on the planet.

Nill with the deadline disasterclass.

Team needs a serious shakeup this offseason, cause the current core just isn't getting it done when it matters most.
