Series Thread: Second Round - Dallas Stars vs. Colorado Avalanche

[dash]

Dallas Pavelskis in 7

I can get behind this, it has a Ray Bourque feel to it.

/Hopefully without the jersey retirement if the Stars go all the way lol

The big question for this Stars fan...

Jani Hakanpaa

Because I don’t really want to see any more of Nils Lundkvist out there.

Knowing what I have been through with a relatively minor meniscus surgery, the idea that he is even walking upright, let alone skating after what he's had done is a miracle.

I have to believe there is no way he will ever be ready for NHL activity, but if he does come back... Not sure there is a bigger comeback story ever.

did I read this correct that the start time is 8:30 PM local time?

Yes sir. The misplaced Central timezone teams that are "Western" are often screwed on this. And if the East game goes to OT, dont be surprised if 830 slips to closer to 9pm local.

Back in my beer league days in Calgary, I had some 11PM start times. The beer tasted great at 12:30 AM lol

Yep… and the Saturday game is already scheduled for 9:00 PM local.

So the West Coast can watch during prime time while fans of the teams OD on coffee.

when i got back into playing in my early 20s, we had 2am Friday night/Saturday morning ice times.
Hit the bar until 1:15 (gear in the car), zip over to the rink, play hockey until about 4am, then his Knight&Day for some early breakfast.

aaah, to be young again

 

[Duffman]

Georgiev struggling again, same MO as game 1 and we all know what happened after so unlike after game 1 of the 1st round I won’t be worried about this series is gonna go.

 

[Sir Robin Of Camelot]

3-0 and if it weren’t for Josh Manson it would be 4-0.

Stars aren’t missing that stifling VGK defensive presence.

 

[Duffman]

Avs are having the same problem Florida did last night where all that time off made them a little slow to start out.

We saw it with Boston where the team coming off a Game 7 victory had the edge and looked locked and loaded.

 

[Duffman]

Avs with 2 quick goals to put them down 1

Thanks Nate!!

Going to OT in Dallas.

 

[Duffman]

Avs came out rusty but I wonder if Dallas is finally experiencing the fatigue of playing so many tough games every other night. I’m sure OT is the last thing they wanted tonight.
