Yea, too bad it's NBC, but go Stars.
Pittsburgh played Toronto last night. It was on television in an Outback Steakhouse in Plano. That's an odd choice for a restaurant, but regardless, let's hope Pitt gets tired in the 3rd.

Announcers are a beating. "This is a back breaker for the Dallas Stars."
It's the end of the first period, you idiot.

Is there another nhl team that gives up more goals in the waning seconds of a period then the stars? Frustrating
And they havent scored an even strength goal in 7 straight periods, frustrating

8 periods no 5 on 5 goals, got real lucky on the offsides wiping off that goal.

In other Stars forum, it is topic after topic after topic of "what's wrong with Benn?"
Some say he's hurt. Some say he's in love with his new woman, and his brain is jacked up. Some say he simply doesn't have the fire in him anymore. ...and all might be true to a point, but I think I figured it out.
Two years ago, and prior, he's was the leading NHL point scorer, and he loved it.
Hitch cares about nothing but defense, defense, defense, at the expense of the offense.
He's so gung ho on turning his forwards into 2-way players, I'd bet Benn is "sick of hearing about defense." There's nothing wrong with defending, they all should, but it's Hitch's "main focus."
I'm sick of it, and the defense is not that great. Look how Oleksiak has prospered in Pittsburgh when he wasn't good enough for Hitch.
I'd rather win 6-3 or 4-2 if need be, but Hitch would rather win a boring snorefest of 1-0. Why? Because his BS defense came through with no mistakes.
Go Stars! I hate Hitchcock! Yep, I said it, I can't stand him. I hope this is his only year.
Addendum: Keep in mind, he "retired" last year. He was done, he didn't want to coach anymore, but now we are stuck with him. Argh!

Stu Barnes is the special teams coach, but his special teams is anything but "special."
The power play is an embarrassment, it's a "powder puff play."

...------ Go look at last years numbers and get back to me. Stu has done his job. Rick Wilson on the other hand.....

What? Did you see the power play tonight?
Addendum: I am not touting Rick Wilson either. I hope all the coaches will be gone next year.

Look at the improvements over last season.
1 game isnt a good high water mark.
Coaching is much improved over last year but agreed Hitch needs to get out of his comfort zone on coaches.
