GDT: Vegas @ Dallas 8:30 EDT - The Last Breath

[Mustache of God]

A 10 11 page GTD thread for a Stars game? This beats out some GDTs during the Eichel era. Does this mean we care again?

I watched the entire game and there were times I caught myself thinking, "I wish they'd cycle the puck a little more like the Sabres, get some chances" and that struck me that this is the first hockey game I've watched in OVER A DECADE where the offense was less exciting than the Sabres. Both teams were missing passes, but Dallas at least looked like they wanted that win, you could see it in their forecheck. Vegas seemed checked out and the game shouldn't have been as close as it was. Their first goal went was an own-goal from the Dallas D and the second came off a power play from a penalty Dallas took behind the Vegas net. The refs put away their whistle in the 3rd to help keep it close. 

That shootout was a nailbiter, especially because i put some $$$ on Dallas to win which I assumed would then guarantee a Dallas loss.

Yes, the Sabres' passing is head-and-shoulders better than what we saw last night and I would expect the Sabres to beat either team head to head right now.

Wow, and we got Tuch! Thank you Vegas!

I think Eichel was just glancing up at the Jumbotron… And not rolling his eyes… But I could be wrong. I could see making a case for either.

There's no way that was a real clip of him doing it, but it is funny.

I think it’s real, but I think it’s from a different game. If you go back and look at the end of the game yesterday all of the Vegas players are in different positions and he actually talked to Thompson.

This makes sense:

It looks like they did their thing and Thompson stayed and Jack came back around with someone else after everyone skated away.

You can see this clip at exactly 3:00:00 mark of the stars broadcast on ESPN plus.

I just looked for it. Watched it. It's exactly where you said it would be.

Wow, he really did it.

I gotta say, it's weird to see worse hockey than when the Sabres play,… but there it is.

That’s exactly what I was getting at.

Your words were better.

Krebs, Casey and Tuch almost a perfect play
