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.

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

Stars look real flat tonight.

Blue Star for you!

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.

On a different subject, I sure hope they're wrong with these:

In case you’re more of a squinting person than a scrolling person…

We now have TWENTY of the upcoming Hometown Remix jerseys, nearly 2/3rds of the league. Who’s in the lead for your favorite?

Minnesota trying hard to be Dallas. Stars should break out a North Stars throwback just to tell them to stick it.

I do like the Anaheim and Buffalo sweaters.

Islanders with the return of the Gorton's fisherman.

Did the Rangers just use their normal blue jersey? Those look like what they wear all the time.

Buffalo with the mash-up between their red and black years and the blue color scheme is pretty cool.

Blackhawks and Maple Leafs did the best job, IMO.

More depth injuries:

Kyle Capobianco will be out “a significant amount of time” per Glen Gulutzan.

Looks like Trey Taylor will be up with the NHL club for a while

Nikita Kucherov requests a trade from the Lightning

Nikita Kucherov requests a trade from the Lightning

As a Lightning fan i'm not surprised, in fact I've been waiting for this shoe to drop. Cooper's always relied on having a deep bench of superstars to cover up for his mediocre coaching. Him and Brisebois rode the roster that Yzerman put together to a couple of Cups, which was awesome. But time proved that Brisebois was no Yzerman, and his personnel moves sucked. So once that bench depth started decreasing the Lightning starting getting knocked out in the first round every year. Meanwhile, I've felt bad for the guys like Kuch, Point, and Hagel. I can't say I blame Kuch one bit, he deserves better than what the immediate future on the Lightning has to offer him.

Trade for Robertson?

Good news:

David Perron will make his Stars debut tonight

99% chance that
Esa Lindell will return to the lineup.

Anybody want tickets for tonight? We have Halloween plans. Our tckets are different than years past:

Sec. 204, Row A.
$200 total for the pair.

This is a pretty interesting scenario, but one that I don't think really benefits either team.

Kucherov is on the last year of his deal at 9.5M, and Robertson is on the last (and only) year of his deal at 12M. Dallas would gain 2.5M in cap space, which would be awesome, but I don't think we have any picks or pieces to trade to get another guy guy in here that would help us for give or take 4M. You could trade some other pieces and get more space and try to get an even better player maybe in the 6M range, but again we don't really have assets to trade right now unless you want to get weird and trade guys like Harley, Wyatt, Bichsel etc. which I don't absolutely hate, but it's super risky.

If you traded them straight up I think Dallas would need to get a pick back in return as well, because Kucherov is 6 years older. I will acknowledge that I think Kucherov is the better player right now, and he would be amazing on this team, but it's a crazy risky trade.

ETA: I do think we are at a place where conversations might need to be had around Bichsel, Harley and imo, Wyatt. I know that's extreme in Wyatt's case, but I just worry about if we've already seen the best version of him, and he'll continue to be ineffective in the playoffs.

Kuch is also going to be $3-5 million more expensive per year going forward, so that's something to consider as well. He asked for a $20mil AAV extension before requesting the trade (I read somewhere that he may take $18mil), and Robo was stuck on $15mil over the offseason (although that may go up as well unless they already have a gentleman's agreement in place to extend him in January).

So you're getting not only much older, but also more expensive for the future.

Saying that, Kuch is of course the better player at this point in time.

If you're not thinking about extending either one of them, and this is a play for this season only, then disregard everything above

I don't think there's a way in hell he's getting more than 15+ on the open market. Not unless it's a 3-year deal or less. Then maybe I could see 18. But no way any team in their right mind is giving him 18+ for 4 or 5 years as a 33-going-on-34-year-old.

Great points though and I definitely agree that it doesn't make a ton of sense unless the Stars have no plans signing Robo.

Apparently McFarlane thought that Benn should have been stripped of the "C" and have given it to Mikko.

The other night in a post game presser, Gully basically described him as the emotional and on-ice leader of the team. Wouldn't surprise me one bit to see him wearing the C next season.
