We're four games in and only need four more post regulation wins to tie last year. Solid third period and OT. Looking forward to not being able to watch Friday night. Meh

Wow, looks like the home owner tonight is not even on Ballys? Only streaming? What is this minor league bull *****

I guess ESPN has exclusive rights to tonight's game? Appears I may be able to watch through hulu. FYI in case you have it.

So can I watch it in Dallas if I have YouTube TV and ESPN+? So confusing…

I'm excited about actually watching the game on TV ( espn+) instead of my phone tonight.

I'm not excited about Leah Hextall on the play-by-play.

Stupid woke ass ESPN. I want to hear the Stars broadcast and not your token female play by play announcer.

Not a fan of the play-by-play or color people, but I think I really like how loud the on-ice mics are. The sticks/boards/players are all very audible. Kind of sounds like you're in the arena.

It sounds like a child is calling the game. Strangely, I would be less annoyed if she was doing the color commentary.

They are only calling that because of the injury.

Yeah that one angle didn't look like a penalty at all. Let alone a 5 minute major. These refs sure do like to blow that whistle

It was pretty clearly kneeing. Calling it a major was because of the injury.

This team is so offensively challenged right now. 10 shots after 2 periods. Have to play mistake free hockey to stay in the game.

Then you add nearly half a period on the kill…

Ugh.

So… getting outshot 3-1 and 23 minutes in the box to their 4 seems good. No?

Not from the angle I saw. Unless I'm wrong, Kneeing has to be clear intent to hit knee to knee. Either by manipulating your body or sticking your knee out. Hakinpaa's knee was directly under his shoulder when he went for the hit and did not stick it out. I don't think that should be kneeing.

Don't necessarily disagree with that.

I think Doughty moved over and really it didn't look like Hakanpaa stuck his knee out that far. Honestly it looked like Hakanpaa was trying to hold up a bit.

I think it was more just an unfortunate incident and not as intentional as they are making it out to be.

I agree that he didn't stick his knee out and certainly didn't look intentional. I was just meaning in today's game, that is going to be called 100% of the time. In the past extending the leg was usually required, but they're really trying to eliminate knee-on-knee hits.

What's going on with Melrose? Is it me or is he sounding a little slurry?

Watching via Hulu. How many more times are there going to be games televised like this? I was planning on dropping Hulu for a while but I'll keep paying for it if this is going to be regular.

The cameras are so much better than Bally's.

Except the camera seems to lose the puck every so often. But the quality is much better for sure

I agree with the earlier poster... the ambient sounds are so much better at capturing the action.

3 on 3 OT might be the best thing in all of sports.

3 for 3 in extra time! 3 on 3 OT is so much fun to watch, especially when we win a few.

Guess we are regressing towards the mean in OT to make up for last year. GO STARS!

Law of averages had to kick in at some point. Holtby in net is helping. He is so calm out there.
