The Dallas Stars offense exploded for eight goals on Saturday afternoon in an 8-1 win over the Lightning. The Stars had eight players with multi point nights including Joe Pavelski, Thomas Harley, Mason, Marchment, Tyler Seguin and more! The PK continues to be great as they went 5/6 on the game and the new look power play units went 2/2 including a patented Pavelski deflection goal to extend his point streak to nine games. Esa Lindell and Jani Hakanpaa played big minutes on the penalty kill and have been huge factors to the success this season.However, the big storyline entering the game was Pete DeBoer healthy scratched Nils Lundkvist and Evgenni Dadanov. Joey shares his thoughts on why they might have done this and how it affects the Stars lineup. The show finishes with 3 keys to the game against Tampa Bay tonight as the Stars begin their three game road trip.

Esa, and Jani have been struggling to. Sutter is out playing both guys.
I think Nils big issue is consistency, really good through ten, then fell off. I think there is absolutely a possibility he jumps back in the saddle, gets some reps, and gets going. I also think it’s possible this isn’t the case. If so….. oof.
Dallas needs to Stop drafting and going after smallish d-men like Nils. Sure they look pretty and can skate lights out but they are easy to move off the puck.
What worries me with Nils is that he’s not going to be ready for the playoffs this season or even next season. Will the window be open much longer than that?
Readiness and talent aside – if the management won’t play him in those situations, then there’s no reason to have him on the team.
I will also say that his increased responsibilities have made his weaknesses more noticeable than last year. That obviously is not the right trajectory.
I think they need to make their decision on the D corps quickly. Not because the team is in desperation mode by any means.
If it’s a new player, it gives him that much more time to really internalize the systems before things get turned up to 11 in the playoffs.
Hopefully they play the same way they did in the first game. Continue to build on the positive things, Jake Oettinger had an excellent performance 🎭 between the pipes.
Don't be surprised if Lundkvist is traded for picks or as a bigger deal for a significant piece.
He's just not big enough for playoff hockey.
Like I said on your last video I think Essa and Jani are fine. They're needed especially for the kill. Nils is an issue. He's not dependable. I think he can get there but how long that will take is unknown. Also Sutter is good for what he is but I would love to see someone more impactul playing with heiskenin.i think that would help heskenin out so much more if he had someone better than Sutter but I know it's unlikely we can do that. Just wish Liam bischel was nhl ready now. He would be perfect
They only have one defensemen with a minus and that is Miro. As far as size Nils is only one inch shorter and 5 pounds lighter than our best, Miro. Hanley is 5'9" and does his job. I think with more experience he will come around, but as you say they want a playoff caliber player now. Time will tell.
Give me Daddy slotting back in and potting 2!! Why not?😂
i hate to predict another win tonight given how angry TBL is going to be — i think we're going to need to play a lot more physical with a lot more hitting — but i still think we'll win it. TBL just does not look like itself unless maybe Vasy can steal a game. Definitely need to see our top goal-scoring d-man on the second PP unit! Why has this not happened before now?!
Finally a win in the black out sweaters. Was starting to think they were cursed. BING BONG
Tyler’s mid air goal was nice
Nils need time on the ice. He produces more than Heiskanen per min pp, thats a fact. It's a waste using him in the last 20 seconds of a pp. Trade him or give him a fair chance.
