Right? How could you if you're Minnesota either design that yourself, or approve a design, that is quite literally the STARS colors.

I'm going to enjoy the regular season like everyone else but

The stars have long proven to be a top 5 regular season team. When teams actually sit down and game plan for us in the postseason, they're able to slow down or even neutralize the offense and poke all kinds of holes in the defense.

I'm not sure if our roster is just a bad fit for playoff hockey, getting outcoached, too old, or the wrong guys are injured at the end of the year.

Our long time bully Edmonton looks on path to another west final and Minnesota is looking scary too. We still got our work cut out for us.

I will say the combination of the olympics and 3 WCF trips in a row really seemed to catch up to the team last year and we still almost beat Minnesota.

Does anyone else feel the prime broadcast is a little "off"? Like they need a higher frame rate? The action is just a little jumpy compared to the broadcasts on TNT or ESPN. It almost gives me a headache.

I don't know what goaltender interference is

Initial contact in the crease, impeded movement to defend a goal. Checks all the boxes but NHL man…

Stars look real flat tonight.

Guess id rather lay a turd against an eastern team then say Minnesota or Colorado, but maybe they can still come back.

Crap…… looks like the Devils night.

This team seems as of now, more fit for playoff hockey as we are being physical and playing really great defense and Otter has been awesome. I am not worried about goal scoring if they stay healthy. Long season to go though of course..

This is where I am at as well. It disgusts me that we got stoned by Hellebuyck and now he's going to get sucked off by the media and how awesome he was in Game 1, but the Stars are a really damn good team that I think you can tell is playing different.

We moved from a 1-2-2 to a 1-1-3, and it has resulted in us being much much tougher to play against. We've also been a lot more physical this year because of it. The only real issue the Stars have right now is injuries and we seem to be taking more penalties than we are drawing, or at least that is what it feels. We need to get on the Power Play more.

Yeah it's just one bad game against a team we pretty much never play against. Let's start a new 5 game winning streak.
