I haven't been keeping tabs too much on the qualifying round games, but watching my Dallas Stars right now, and after a frustrating first 30 mins or so, the flood gates opened at they got three quick goals. Here's hoping they can finish off this game with a strong third period!
As it turns out, they had an epic third period collapse...managed to lose 5-3.Oh thats awesome they were able to do that. They should be able to win then!
I think the only team that's surprising me more than Dallas on the playing poorly front is Nashville, I expected a lot out of them, and they're just going quietly into that good night so far. On the opposite side of things, Vegas are looking like the team to beat in the West, IMO. Very dominant.Yes I saw that. Crazy! The Oilers last night collapsed too they gave up 2 goals late in the game to lose.
It seems Dallas and Vancouver are going to face off in the opening round of the actual playoffs, since the loser of tomorrow's Blues/Stars game will face them and Dallas are definitely not looking super likely to win.
I'd say they should, and on goaltending alone they should out-defend the Canucks, but the scoring is so inconsistent and their defense when they have a lead is atrocious. I'm worried they won't be able to maintain a lead, and Canucks have enough options to expose the defensive lapses that keep showing up. So...fingers crossed, but I'm expecting a not-so-favourable outcome.Dallas should be able to beat Vancouver unless the Canucks goalie Markstrom is stellar.
Looks like our teams will be battling each other. Flames and Stars! Should be a good series. The Flames were 2-1 against the Stars during the season....well, Dallas certainly defied my expectations and pulled the win out today, meaning they'll face the Flames and the Blues will face the Canucks. Dallas/Calgary is going to be one tough series!
It's definitely going to be a very interesting series, that's for sure! Dallas aren't as strong under Bowness as they were under Montgomery, and while they're improving slightly as the post season goes along, they're nowhere near where they were earlier in the year. I'm hoping for a decent series!Looks like our teams will be battling each other. Flames and Stars! Should be a good series. The Flames were 2-1 against the Stars during the season.
Yeah, Calgary did not make that win easy, and Dallas looked determined to throw it away. Going to make tonight very interesting, though I assume Calgary goes with Rittich in net, who has been fairly good against Dallas in his career.Dallas ended up winning..Flames made it close though we will see what happens tonight!
