JWB then get some rest

 

[Johno]

The extra rest could be monumental for bunch of the guys.

 

[Elysian]

JWB, WDI fellas

 

[Klockis]

Hard to not be confident. Avs looking like they are nowhere on the level of Vegas. Especially without Toews and Nuke.

Hopefully we don't take out foot of the gas expecting a win.

toews confirmed out tonight?

 

[Kcb12345]

I'd assume Toews is back.

Stars need to keep their foot on the gas. Don't give Colorado any sort of life

 

[Kipper 17]

Any update on our players that got banged up last game?

 

[roryjones]

Very important game. Major lesson for this team to learn. Have to close out teams when you have a chance on home ice. They are in the ropes. Finish them.

 

[serp]

Don't be like Rangers and Panthers. Win the f***ing game so the series ends and the old and injured guys can rest. Punch the Avs in the mouth and see if they still can respond after the whole Val fiasco.

[Klockis]

toews confirmed out tonight?

No idea. Just assumed he was.

 

[Kcb12345]

Tanev is good to go, but Hintz is out

That has me concerned about Hintz. Stars really need to win tonight. Day to day in the playoffs might as well be week-to-week when you consider Hakanpaa is "day-to-day"

 

[Smelling Salt]

I think this could be OK, but I would need to see the lines PDB goes with

[DieselPig]

I imagine Faksa will slot in to the lineup. I’d rather him than Delly vs the Avs.

 

[Kipper 17]

Which one of the wingers that has played center in the past usually moves to Center first? Seguin?

Robo - Seguin - Stank
Benn - Wyatt - Daddy/Pavs
March - Duchene - Pavs/Daddy
Smith - Faksa - Steel

Smith - Faksa - Steel

Robertson - Johnston - Stankoven
Marchment - Duchene - Seguin
Benn - Steel - Pavelski
Smith - Faksa - Dadonov

Is what I would like to see.

I think Steel has earned a game in the top 9.

If the Duchene line had been better this postseason I would be happier about this lineup. But I agree about Steel, he has been great in his role. Plus, being at home we might be able to get that super sexy top line out there against lesser competition.

I think since Marchment returned that line has been fine. The production hasn't quite been there, but they've looked dangerous at 5v5 and more importantly have still been solid defensively and in transition.

ok but now what do the lines look like after duchesne leaves in free agency but we sign Stephen Stamkoss

Quit thinking about the offseason, brother

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Daddy has been better than Steel IMO. Steel was invisible the entire first series. Better against Avs tho.

 

[eartotheground]

if i had to bet this is where faksa comes in, but damn it seems like a good place to give mav a shot. lotta hockey to go, and depending on the length of roope's injury you might prefer to skew towards an offensive replacement.

DeBoer already said Faksa is in tonight
