I really like this roster of players, feel there is a real chance at a Cup in the coming years.

Pavelski's age showed up this postseason, he was terrible
"Hockey's hard." – Tyler Seguin
That's for sure!
A step behind by a little bit is putting it generously. With all due respect to his great career, but Pavelski looked awful all playoffs. He was so much slower than almost everyone in all 3 rounds. And since he really only had way of scoring, it was really easy for opposition to shut him down.
Thank god theres only 1 year left of suffering Suter. Letting Hakenpaa walk is also fine, ive seen enough of him as well. Duchene, take him or leave him. He had the big series winner in Colorado, and did good in the regular season but again kind of a no show when games mattered. Tanev… he played well but hes 34 and he gets hurt a lot. Wouldn't mind him staying at the right price but if another team overpays, its best to move on.
As for Benn. Hes thankfully, only got 1 more year on that big contract. I dont mind him staying beyond that, at a much much lower price, but if he does… this year should be his last as Captain. Obviously, that's a delicate thing, but with 1 year remaining, now is the time to ask him respectfully to use this last year to transition to someone else.
I think he made up for his insane stupidity last year against Vegas. But THG touched on it last night. I think of all the critical games where he just disappeared. The moment got too big for him, and it happened again last night. There's always talk of what a great leader he is, but that shrinking can be contagious to a locker room.
To end on a positive the kids look great and hopefully they grow even more next season. Hopefully Lian also continues the streak of great draft picks. They may lack experience but they got that youthful heart that allows them to play without fear. Need more of that i think to take that next step.
But the way they went out was pretty underwhelming
I don’t agree with the take that we can’t win with DeBoer. What I DO agree with is that we can’t win with Spott as our PP coach. That was undoubtedly the deciding factor in us losing to EDM.
I really think we could see Edmonton and Dallas face off frequently in the Conference Finals for the next five years. I look forward to this becoming an intense rivalry.
This hurt alot.. it was a great season though. It hasn't been too rough as a stars fan going to the finals in 2020 and back to back conference finals the last 2 years. We could have it alot worse. The Stars will be back. I trust the organization in that they know the team is very close and they will make the proper moves to put themselves back in the hunt again next year.
Cheers Shannon ! 🍻 🌟
Yet another classic Debortion
As a Stars fan, we had plenty of depth, but that depth didnt show up in this Oilers series. Cant get blanked on the PP and then get shredded on the PK as well. Needed more from guys like Duchene, Roope, Pavelski, and Robertson. Disappointing end to the season. Id be shocked if we somehow miss the playoffs next season though.
It's a good place to be in when you have all your 1st round draft picks and you're expected to return as a Final Four team. They're not just a team of older veterans, which speaks to being well managed to staying up at the top for the long term. Speaking of which, this is traditionally the time of year when people ask, just like the last 6-7 years, if this is the last year for Joe Pavelski. I hope he comes back for one more season, so he can get to 500 goals.
I'm looking forward to see Bichsel play!
Seguin and Benn making almost 10 million at this stage in their careers. Good for them but they are robbing the organization 😂
Just trade suter away at whatever cost. Sign pesce or ekholm type solid physical d. Try to trade seguin for some more physical top 6 forward and next year win stanley cup.
I disagree with Dallas being good next year. These teams only get a few chances and they have had their s
It's weird not seeing Seguin in the top for points getters for Dallas
You cannot win a Cup with Pete DeBoer as your coach. The dude needs to go: our conditioning was off, and our play was unsound. We deserved to be bounced
Their future’s so bright, Timbuk 3 might write a song about them.
I always enjoy your videos man and thankfully this lifted my spirits after seeing them lose this series to Edmonton. Our future is bright and our time will come someday
The Stars have to be a better home playoff team. 4-6 at home in the playoffs and 0-3 in Game 1s. Unacceptable. You work hard all regular season to get home-ice advantage and you don't take advantage? Pathetic.
Buyout Benn…look for a 1A goalie Oettinger is a good 1B…move on from Duchene.
With how well Jim Nill has drafted the trading a first for Niks Lundkvist is really a double whammy. The stars have really hit some home runs at the draft table recently.
I watched every Stars game in the playoffs. When they're off, they're off. But when they're playing good, they rank easily amongst the top teams in the league. Agree: this team is facing a great future.
Not untill deboar is fired
Cool franchise
Stars could use some bigger physical players.
Jamie benn eats corn the long way
"Wait 'til next year" gets really fast especially if next year never comes. Sure the Stars will still be good, but when will they take the next step to being great?
If I were to play arm chair GM I'd trade Faksa and buy out Suter, let Pavs, Duchy, Lund, and Hak walk. That'd give you space to sign Tanev AND maybe even a Marchessalt🫢
Heh heh.
A car with a small gas tank always has a bright future, but only if they put a bigger tank in the damn thing.
Oettinger isn't the answer. Their Jimmy Howard.
DeBoer is a joke. 10 shots allowed and they lose game. Fire DeBoer, trade Oettinger, trade Wyatt Johnston while his value is high. Retool and get to SCF within 2 seasons.
How do you lose a game despite only allowing 10 shots? That is the most embarrassing loss I've ever seen.
Dallas is a finesse team , and finesse teams don’t last in the playoffs. You can already see that in Vegas series
