Dallas Stars @ Minnesota Wild 3rd period GDT
Dallas Stars at Minnesota Wild, Apr 7, 2009 7:00 PM CDT
[UPDATE: IMPROMPTU FIELD TRIP!!] Welcome back!
I sincerely apologize for the lack of updates today on the site. Sometimes when you're in the Navy you find yourself locked in a office in a neverending meeting with no way out, like I was today. But we still have a hockey game tonight and it should be a good one.
The Stars head into the third period down 3-0 and are fighting penalties and the inability to keep the Wild out of the net on PK. Climie has looked decent, but has not had any support from the defensemen in front of him.
This is your open thread to discuss the game.

Glad
that I don’t. :-) Much better to be Trident Tough again! :-)

Once again.....
Another interesting choice for Versus to keep this game.

Glad to see
that Razor is doing the color commentary tonight. It should ease the pain of listening to Joe Beninati.

At some point this game will start.

Everyone:
The guys from Hockey Wilderness are going to take a trip over here to DBD for an impromptu road trip.
We’ll head over to their place for the second period.

Sounds good.
"I can't hear Jeremy because I have my 2 Stanley Cup rings plugging my ears!" -Patrick Roy
We should have more of these with Minnesota, imo.
The backgrounds of the teams being what they are.
Very true.
We’ll be doing much more of these next season…..probably not with the Blues guys though.

Well...just one guy really.
It’s kind of a joke around here. We had our site pretty much attacked by one stupid regular from over there and it soured the relationship a bit. But for the most part I really enjoy most of those guys’ company.

That St. Louis experiment was a disaster..
I’d like to do some with the Florida Panthers guys. Totally classy dudes.
Yup.
Whale4Ever is great. He’s been trumpeting the glory of DBD for a while. He’s helps us out a lot behind the scene.

Yeah, we have a small but dedicated base.
We’re both young here at SBN. They’ll come eventually.

hand pass
"I can't hear Jeremy because I have my 2 Stanley Cup rings plugging my ears!" -Patrick Roy
Man
These guys need to show a little effort if they want to keep their very slim playoff chances alive
Climie almost poked-checked that into his net

On both sides.
"I can't hear Jeremy because I have my 2 Stanley Cup rings plugging my ears!" -Patrick Roy
Ugh
Again, way too many shots coming in from bad angles. Nobody on this team drives to the net. So annoying.
Yup.
Great to see.

Vishnevskiy tries to be a cross between Zubov and Green.

So.....apparently.....
Guys who watch hockey are in desperate need of “enhancement”.

Well....he's still under contract next season.
But he could retire.

Really?
He’s said he has to think hard about it over the summer, but said that if the Stars want him and need him then he’s coming back.

If Mo comes back...
then Super Joe Sakic better come back!

Hey, Derek:
So, they had me playing center on Sunday night. I was almost completely lost most of the game.
I’m definitely going to be playing goalie again soon.

LOL
Nice. How’s the knee?
"I can't hear Jeremy because I have my 2 Stanley Cup rings plugging my ears!" -Patrick Roy
Holding up.
But I’m more comfortable between the pipes. I need new pads though, your were right the ones I have are too small.

No chance for Climie.
"I can't hear Jeremy because I have my 2 Stanley Cup rings plugging my ears!" -Patrick Roy
Nope.
That was on the defense. He over committed a bit though.

Very true.
He is adept at staying upright with the puck while fighting off defensemen. So naturally, he could deliver some hits as well.

Stars can't get anything to the front of the net.

Wow.
I didn’t know that Turks had started 73 games this year!! Holy moly!!!
"I can't hear Jeremy because I have my 2 Stanley Cup rings plugging my ears!" -Patrick Roy
Yeah.
Let’s just say that the backup goaltender position was grossly mishandled this season.

Great shift by Dallas right now!

Great defensive play right in front.
Backstrom wasn’t ready for that quick wraparound.

Thanks for hosting my rambling.
Second period is on us. We have beer, but take your shoes off.

Gotta love
that great Northern tradition!

Sloppy period
by both. Should be better in the second. Hoping the trap doesn’t come into play as this game gets further along. I know Lemaire has the ability to coach that style of a game, especially since the Wild need this game BAD!

Welcome back to the third period.

No kidding.
Check this out:
À Dallas, Mike Ribeiro serait mon choix pour le Hart devant Loui Eriksson même si celui-ci connaît une saison étonnante. Grossman pour le Norris devant Robidas???
Famed French-Candien newspaper La Presse has called out my decision to put Eriksson and Grossman ahead of Ribeiro and Robidas, in our team awards picks.
