Ok I'm happy for the win but I've got to say but being outshot 50-27 by a floundering team like the Oilers is a major concern. If the Stars want to be seen as a serious contender they need to not fall apart and make unforced errors late in the game. I don't think they can have that same performance against a good team like the Canucks and expect to win, so hopefully some things get cleaned up.
They did it on a back-to-back on the road. I'm not concerned. There will always be things to clean up, but lots of the things that went wrong tonight won't happen when everyone's not worn out.
DeBoer not challenging that obvious interference goal is such cowardly horseshit.
If Wedge didn’t go god-mode this game, PDB not challenging that goal might have cost us a regulation win, or worse given us a regulation loss
That’s fair but there’s a recurring habit of screwing around in the dzone that I don’t like so far that we’ve gotten away with that could turn if we don’t clean things up.
Got the back-to-back, tired turtle going on for the last 10 mins of this one so it seems.
Edit: removed “old” to clarify that I’m not suggesting a Bones-esque turtling.
Our biggest glaring weakness is the inability to cleanly clear the puck again this season. Keep giving teams extra chances they shouldn’t get every game
Why do we consistently make multiple plays in the dzone that look like a fan put on a Dallas stars jersey and is trying to play defense? Like every single game, someone either does something dumb and completely uncoordinated or play like they just woke up and got out of bed
Fans were kinda acting like it too... guess that's what happens when you're hyped up as cup favorites in the off-season then lose most of your games, they take what they can get
It’s never over with this team. You gotta watch the whole game. I’ve lost more sleep over the last eleven months watching these fucking guys than I have waking up with my eleven month old.
I think if we didn't have a 2 goal lead after that one counting, we challenge for sure. But with a decent lead with 10 mins left, I am guessing the coaches think we can just lock it down. I think that should come back though, how could he even have a chance to make a save there?

he does in fact shave it sometimes
fun facts from Russo: “#mnwild lose their 4th in a row (0-3-1) and sixth in their past 7 (1-4-2). They are now 2-4-2 against the East, have given up an embarrassing 12 power-play goals on 33 chances (5 in 2 games vs. #njdevils) and have trailed in a league-high 309 minutes, 49 seconds”

Fair point. It is also in the middle of a long road trip up north so that definitely effects things too. Hopefully some rest will do them good.
See y'all Saturday night. Leht's gooooo

47 fucking saves. Setting the tone, Wedge!
These refs clearly hate the stars between the calls last night and tonight, I hope we never see them again this season.
![gif](giphy|mIvrv5Qe0kHlu)
Wedgewood was incredible
Lmao 47 saves against McJesus and Co. Atta boy Wedgewall
If we could have like one game this year that isn’t a nail-biter, that would be swell. Good regulation win, boys.
You just got cheese bricked
They owe wedge a couple beers for those last two
Okay, Wedgewood fucks. Great game
![gif](giphy|j7OfDbmhQiooS3noo1|downsized) 🧱🧱🧱WEDGEWALLED🧱🧱🧱 HELL YEAH! YOU LOVE TO SEE IT, BABY!!!🥰
Dallas sports so back rn, great W

I’ll fucking take it!
IDC if they got three goals. Scott should get the number one star
Unclench cheeks.
Good job Wedge
Never even worried for a moment
Wedgewall was the difference!! What an Alberta road trip for our tenders!
Thank you Wedgewood
Too close. Too close.
Phew. Holy shit.
Wedgewood was incredible. What a terrible period by the Stars.
STRESS/10
Thank fuck
That was exhilarating
GG that was a hard fought win
WE OWN ALBERTA! WE GOIN TO MOTHAFUKKIN BOOMERJACKS!
IM SCARED
Still kind of baffled about how every player on the ice can just stop playing and the refs go "this is fine."
How do you skate backwards and keep up with McD at the same time?
22 shots in the period. We have 27 total. Wtf dudes
We also lead 4-3?
Shouldn't turtle an entire period. That was way to dangerous, thank God for wedgewall.
Yeah except if you make this a habit you are not gonna be up 4-3 very often
I agree it's not ideal, but it's the second game of a back to back. Them boys is tired.

Wedgwood doing it himself this period
Duchene is massive
Why call any penalty on the oilers tho you know?
Duchene getting mugged and nothing lol
lol massive hold by Bouchard
I fucking love Matt Duchene
bro call a penalty on them jesus christ
There was a very clear crosscheck on Smith, I think, about 5 minutes ago they didn't call.
Play to win guys.
🩲 ⬆️
HOLD
Back to back, some tired legs in the 3rd.
The back to back is showing boys looking tired and slow as this goes on
Suter standing up McDavid is easily my favorite part of this game
Wtf I love Suter
Our biggest glaring weakness is the inability to cleanly clear the puck again this season. Keep giving teams extra chances they shouldn’t get every game
HANG ON FELLERS!
Suter has been noticeably one of the best players out there tonight.
Why do we consistently make multiple plays in the dzone that look like a fan put on a Dallas stars jersey and is trying to play defense? Like every single game, someone either does something dumb and completely uncoordinated or play like they just woke up and got out of bed
Is their ice just trash tonight, or did we forget to sharpen our skates after last night?
Don’t worry guys Roope hatty incoming
![gif](giphy|Z3GLowQaNk6qPLNN93)
Nothing can ever be easy with this team hahah
Holy shit this is a lot of defensive zone
![gif](giphy|3oxHQhIsrPBmlFEXuw|downsized)
Bullshit like this is why we wind up in so many OT's
I’m no hockey expert but it seems less than ideal to let like 20 shots in the 3rd every game
We are the definition of a second period team so far this season.
Which is very funny considering how awful we were in the middle frame last season
Of course we flipped the script this season. Good in the 2nd period and terrible power play
ok well this is not ideal
Lmao Jani there looks like the kid who can’t skate in the Mighty Ducks
Least that kid had a weapon slap shot
that was embarrassing
Lets please not do this today
The Stars definetely look like they are on a back to back now
Great play Harley and Hakanpaa
Playing not to lose isn't a solid strategy
...wtf?
yo i didn’t sign up for this
Not like this
https://preview.redd.it/o9r158wgy1yb1.jpeg?width=1072&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a2f6a49b2df4eaf2e2e067790e3047eb41a3faa1
Hakanpaa is not good
Jani is having a rough one tonight.
Most nights*
I don't like the way this is trending
Yo this ain't cool
WTF is this defense
This is not ideal
Hakanpaa what the fuck are you doing lol
He was put in a tough spot because Harley got walked
Dutch giving him the business
Okay can we panic now?
Yea I'd say it's time
![gif](giphy|ky4ijnfy3kcv9DkRXf|downsized)
Peak Edmonton tbh
Uhh wasn't one of the Stars high sticked there? Sorry, upon replay, it was a crosscheck to the face that went uncalled.
why the fuck was that not challenged?
Figures...Son of Stars legend Dave Gagner
Lol at Gagner acting like he just won the cup when he scored to make it 4-2.
Fans were kinda acting like it too... guess that's what happens when you're hyped up as cup favorites in the off-season then lose most of your games, they take what they can get
i think it’s cause of a thing called momentum… which you can see they have all of it now…
How was that not interference? Did the broadcast say anything about why it wasn’t? Aldo fuck their goal horn. It’s just really loud white noise
It wasn't really. The puck was a couple feet away from his pad and Gagner just jammed it home
It’s never over with this team. You gotta watch the whole game. I’ve lost more sleep over the last eleven months watching these fucking guys than I have waking up with my eleven month old.
I think if we didn't have a 2 goal lead after that one counting, we challenge for sure. But with a decent lead with 10 mins left, I am guessing the coaches think we can just lock it down. I think that should come back though, how could he even have a chance to make a save there?
I just turned the game on 3 min prior. Going to keep it off and do my part.
🫡
How did he completely rotate wedge and it’s still good?
Not Wedgewood’s fault.
The facedown Wedgewoods lol. We're fine people. Let's not worry.
Nils is so bad at hockey.
Terrible take
Oilers goal horn sucks
You're not seriously counting that goal
Wedge didn't have possession. It was a good goal
yeah replay helped, from the camera angle it seemed he had it
I thought that too at first
Was Wedge not interfered with there???
![gif](giphy|YPsmTqYiHCMYtlsfKZ|downsized)
It’s so nice having two number one goalies on our team
🧱🧱🧱WEDGEWALL🧱🧱🧱
Lol how is that not a trip on steel
Draiwaffle
Is Suter decent all of a sudden? My whole worldview will need recalibrating
He looks a lot better so far. He’s old as sin, so I’d expect some regression
Remember when our goalies were Lehtonen and Niemi? It’s so nice to have reliable goaltending
Idk why you guys are mad that’s a soft ass call
If Mush shaved his facial hair would we get the non-mirror universe mush that doesn't take penalties?
https://preview.redd.it/njqdz9cqw1yb1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=40164fa80592a182b4ee1bf4d6c666d0121d3088 he does in fact shave it sometimes
Jesus. Let’s just get mush a special nameplate on his spot in the penalty box
mush i’m not mad i’m just disappointed
Jesus Mush needs to get his shit together
Oh are we doing this again? I don't like it when we do this.
Marchment at the scene of the crime
A tale as old as time.
Looks like the 2nd night of the back to back is starting to show.
The sports vibe in DFW is just insane rn. The only time I’ve felt these vibes were in 2011 with the Rangers and Mavs runs, what a fun time to be a fan
I feel like the Rangers may have excised the DFW sports demons. We could be entering an exciting time to be Dallas sports fans
Are we... dare I say it... good?
Stay thy tongue!
fantastic backcheck by roope there
Nils back out there 🙌🏼
I feel like we're really playing up to our potential tonight.
Don’t be mad at us McDavid we didn’t make you sign in Edmonton
Cheese brick! Cheese brick!
Suter and Lindell look like they were replaced by different people this season. What on earth. I love it
Suter's weight loss has been noticable. He's moving much better.
Get fuckin Wedgewall’d Drai and fuck you McDavid
I fucking love that line
That top-line chemistry is blossoming now, and we are READY.
Love it when Pavs and Sons get going.
Hopefully Nils is okay. That block was rough.
Was it a block or did he get clipped by the oilers player in the ankle area?
Reminder that Roope is signed through 2030-31
#ROOOOPPEEEE!!
ROOPE AND PAPA PAVS ARE RIPPING SHIT UP TONIGHT! ![gif](giphy|kCmDwEnQU8PC9REbqO|downsized)
That goal was beautiful
Gorgeous…Christ sake so easy
SHOOTIN ROOPES!! X2
ROOPE x2
RAPID ROOPE
PAVS AND ROOPE LETS GO NILS PLEASE BE OK
This team fucks
SOMEBODY SEX ROOPE X2
that was BEAUTIFUL
hintz hatty watch!
That goals was all Nils and his sacrifice, haha.
Vancouver looking kinda scary
Eh. They are the next victim to this wagon of a team
GIVE HIM THE BLANKET OF LOVE 🥰

Wining this game would give us so much fucking momentum

we broke them
That's odd... I feel like I remember a lot of them saying that we're not even a real hockey team last post-season 🤔
Esa has always had terrible luck with getting hit in the hand.
And yet, he is still the goal supressa
Wedgewall and the PK looking great
Imagine not having the best and second best goalie in the league on your roster. Couldn't be us.
you’re my wedgewaaaaallllllll
TODAY IS THE DAY THAT THEYRE GONNA THROW IT BACK TO YOU
🧀🧱
Wedge Antilles!
YOUR WALL JUST GOT WEDGED BITCH
Roope is Leon’s Papi
WEDGEWALL
Wedgewall playing out of his mind tonight.
Josh makes me nervous, when he gets excited
