[Troy McClure]

He literally got 2min in a loss.

Which tells you they don’t trust him and don’t want to play him. Scratch him for literally anyone else.

He's still the best of the options.

 

[Puck Luck 73]

I might go far enough to say that Seguin single handedly lost that game for us. He was and has been a defensive liability in this series.

 

[Azzuri]

But what better combo is there?

Robo-Wyatt-Stankoven
Marchment-Duchene-Seguin
Dadanov-Benn-Pavelski
4th line

Switch Pavs and Stank as needed.

Hopefully Roope is ready for Friday.

 

[Troy McClure]

Can someone explain to me what Benn was doing on their 5th goal? Bro floated into the corner.

I think he assumed Lehkonen was going to take it wide and down low and didn’t realize until too late he as going to peel back and feed MacKinnon.

I don't think we played that bad actually, but the 3rd and 4th goals Otter allowed were just absolutely weak as hell and unacceptable. Back breakers and we never recovered

 

[roryjones]

Big let down. Dallas needs to win more on home ice. I don’t see us taking all 3 games in Denver. Game 7 is the worst possible outcome for this. Up 3-1 you have to put them away.

Oettinger needs to have a massive game now. Game 5 was on him.

I just can’t agree on those two goals. On the third, Lindell had to be much harder on Mittelstadt, even a bit of stick contact might have bought enough time. The fourth was clearly a nasty redirect off Harley’s stick.

When it comes down to it, we needed the power play to be more effective with the game on the line - simpler with pucks to the net - and we needed to defend a bit harder.

Tough loss but hard to beat Col 4 games in a row

Tough situation all around cause somehow now we've gotta beat them for the 3rd straight time on their home ice

Blowing that 1st game was so costly

Given the comebacks in both games 1 and 2, I think we were gonna split those no matter what.

I expected to split the road games as well.

Same kind of story as last round: if you told me before game 1 that we'd be up 3-2 going into game 6, I'd be pretty happy.

 

[roryjones]

The key is Dallas has to play their game. Avs played their style tonight. Can’t allow mackinnon and makar to control a game. PK has to be better as well.

 

[catters078]

I trust Jake in Game 6.

He loves a road environment.

 

[Johnny Tomala]

I have work at 4:00 CET this week, so I can watch Game 7 if that happens. I've watched all games that Stars won in the series vs Vegas. Let's hope boys will close this one out without me watching.

Call in. Watch game 6.

Knew this would be a loss as soon as they showed Troy Aikman at the game We always seem to lose when a Cowboys player (former or current) is shown.
