I would bet good money this was not expected. He's a fringe NHL defender at best, so this doesn't really hurt the Stars big team necessarily, but does hurt the Texas Stars, who are in a world of hurt right now.

Hurts our depth. He's a great insurance policy and there are no viable Defensemen in Austin who can step in.

We swapped out Hanley for Hakanpaa or Lundkvist as our 7th defenseman. That's a depth upgrade for the big club.

True. And I forgot about Pouliot as the next guy up.

And also, if we were having to call up Hanley for a stint at the end of the season or in the playoffs because of injuries, we would be in for a world of hurt anyways, so losing him doesn't affect us much.

If Tanev gets to play tonight, I will be curious as to who's going to be the first guy to ride pine, Lundy or Hakanpaa.

It all depends on how he's going to do the pairings. I believe they said they'll want to put Heiskanen on his natural Left side.

So will it be:

Miro (L) - Tanev (R)
Harley (L) - Esa (L)
Suter (L) - Nils (R)

There you have a forward thinking Defenseman paired with more of a defense first guy on every pairing. That Harley/Esa line might be sneaky good as Esa can get up ice and make a play or two as well.

That looks like a meme that should have the caption "What's these guys' profession? Wrong answers only."

Was a really awful play by Miro to give them to power play.

Oettinger hasn't been very good this year. Bad goal.

Nice quick PP goal to get right back in it. Hopefully that gives them some life.

Stankoven drew both PPs and scored on one to get the Stars back in the game.

That was a quick come back and Stank the Tank was the catalyst.

Let's hope the 2nd period smelling salts are more effective than the 1st period batch.

Sucks to see the shark tank so empty. That has been such a great arena/fan base

Suter and Hakanpaa again. Can't have that pair out there

This Suter/Hakanpaa thing isn't going to work.

Seemed like such a "play it safe" move when the obvious move was to sit Hakanpaa for Lundkvist and go with one attacking D and one defensive D per pairing...
