Stars Drop Tough Loss To Ducks In Overtime 4-3

So…. there’s that.

Yeah right. Would have saved us some trouble if they hadn’t of taken 7 of 8 on that last road trip.

absolutely done with this crap team. No heart, no poise, no intelligence, and no luck at all. Completely undeserving of the playoffs. We had 5 seconds and we blew it. This team sucks and has been fooling us all year long. Wolf in sheep’s clothing. Scrap the defense and get rid of Crawford.

I’m about to cry.
Crushed.
I guess if Calgary loses we stay in 9th, right?
so still very much in the race, but we needed this one.

effing sucks.

Quite the waste.

but if they beat Anaheim in April and win most of them, there’s def still a chance. I’m just not sure they have the POISE to win right now; they have the heart, the skill, but seemingly a lack of poise and discipline, which comes to the coach. I’m not saying “fire Crow!” because of this loss but it’s a pattern right now and it’s the same lame ass thing night after night.

But guys, Jack Campbell will break Fowler’s heart soon enough…

Let’s go Stars. No exclamation points this time.

Just came home and saw this. Heika predicted score like this… Baah…

But really… this is a major dissapointment

and then we completely lose sight of someone on the ice, whether its Selanne or Handzus, seem to be able to find a way to score. We collapse in on ourselves. It’s an act of a team that isnt ready to make the playoffs. I have watched the Stars for years and the last 3 I have seen them continually find ways to win and lose that would not have been part of the Stars teams for close to a decade. Granted, its not the clutch and grab era anymore, but there seems to be a lack of control after a big goal. It’s like they get so excited after scoring they forget the other team is trying to tie it up. This game may go down as the game that started us going really down hill. I cant believe it, dont want it to happen, but luck isnt on our side right now.

cannot for the life of me understand some of the plays we make late on. I mean, jesus, how much has this team learnt over the season? Gutted, totally gutted, and i think this could be the beginning of the end!

Hope im wrong

Fight On, and go get the next one.

Or did Kari look bad on the 2nd and 4th goals he gave up? I know he was pretty solid most of the night, but especially the 2nd goal he gave up looked badly played.

5 seconds from things being so, so completely different.

Five. Seconds.

I haven’t given up. But….this really, really sucked.

that’s all I have to say.
speed bump, yes. dagger, no.

the last few years…. depressing….that used to be the thing I could always count the on them to do. Play defense….

But most of the hope I did have just got beaten to a whimpering pulp.

Times when Selanne is retired. 2020?

if we dont end up even making the playoffs after deciding to hold on to Richards.

This team is missing Adam Burish. Some of you say that this team is full of heart, but tonight, I disagree. As soon as Selanne tied the game, this game was over. The puck dropped in OT and they played like ateam that had given up.

There are 18 points remaining in this season. They better take this loss, figure out that it’s a game until the clock reads zero and give it their all until the horn sounds every single period from here on out.

I’m just glad I was at the game so that my TV didn’t have to pay for this loss.

at a tie for 8th with Nashville for Points Available and 1 point behind Anaheim who we still play again…

Anaheim and Phoenix can both get 105, Dallas and Nashville can both get 104…

We haven’t lost control of our own destiny, it’s just tougher.

That’s how stunned I am

Don’t give up. Don’t ever give up.

This is even worse than the loss to LA. 5 seconds. 11 seconds after Loui’s goal. You would think the team, the coach can learn from past mistakes. Well, we will still keep believing till the end. In the end this team will get what it deserves. Let’s hope it’s not the 9 place and more empty seats.

Nuff said.

That right there is keeping me positive.

Luddy said something in the post game about the sale being worked on and will hopefully be done by July. So, there’s that.

I had to get that out.

But the amount of passion I’m seeing tonight from Stars fans.

All I ask is that we don’t give up.

Wearing my Benn jersey and standing on the ledge of the derrick here on the rig, 200 feet above the surface of the water….looking forlorn and ready to jump.

Then I thought that would be too sad.

Over these last ten games. It just sucks the way we lost tonight. Just gotta suck it up and prepare for Nashville. Definitely need a reg win there, or I may start to seriously doubt our chances for the postseason. We collected a point tonight (which is a point more than the Flames) so at least there’s that. Gotta cross my fingers and do some chicken (or duck) sacrificing to ensure that Anaheim loses a few games to help get us back into the top eight again. Of course, winning our own games would be a wonderful first step.

If you have Netflix, and you need a good laugh, watch any Brian Regan video that’s available to watch instantly. He will make you piss your pants in laughter.
I’m trying to make everybody feel a little bit better after tonight’s heartbreak.

Shut up…Just knock it off. I still feel this team has what it takes to make it to the playoffs and it has nothing to do with the optimist in me. It has everything to do with the guy who has watched every game to this point and seen that this team is dangerous. Yeah, the D is suffering because Karlis is out and so is Grossman but Jesus Christ pull yourself together. That doesn’t mean they suck, can’t win, lack D, lack coaching, etc. Get an effing grip, grab your freakin’ bootstraps, and let’s get to work. Put your head down, lace up your skates, and kill everything that moves. But don’t tell me we’re done when the battle isn’t even over.

i just got home from the game, im fucking.. words dont describe. i had an inckling after the sharks game that we wouldnt make it. but screw my inckling, yeah tonight kicked the shit outa my balls but we can make the playoffs. we need too. i need them to.
this sport/team is my religion, and i have faith and will never let it fade even after getting punched in the gut over and over.
for some of the comments ive read above, seriously stfu u cant tell me this team sucks and needs to be scrapped. thats the loser talk.
oh and i just read the comment above mine which i agree with 100% lol

I’m baffled at the fact that Crawford had Goligoski on the ice at the end of the game trying to preserve a 1 goal lead.

I would have kept him on the bench for the final two minutes knowing that the Ducks were going to bring everything and knowing that their was a good chance the Stars would ice the puck.

When we’re down a goal and yank the goalie and the time is ticking off the clock, I think to myself, “There’s just no fucking way we score here.”

Yet if the situation is reversed, and the OTHER team yanks their goalie looking for the equalizer…. I can’t help but say to myself, “There’s just no fucking way they don’t score here.”

Proven right once again.

And I agree, SkatingStar. Goligoski actually cost us the game if you watched closely. He got control of the puck right behind the net and had some room, but instead of skating a second more and floating it out of the zone, he hurriedly chipped it down the boards right to an Analslime Fuck player, resulting in the tying goal. I almost threw my remote through the tv screen….

This isn’t good for anyone’s heart problems if you’re seriously going to leave it to beating San Jose and the Coyotes away… and the Kings….

It’s not killed us but the team needs to man up Fistric style.

Need a win next game, period.

That was a hell of a hit he had tonight.
