The official "Go Dallas Stars" (but not all the way) thread

[Reggie Dunlop]

Conference Final!

[TheScorpion]

I think we’d be better served by individual game threads in critical situations

[AC]

Or this could be the first round thread for Dallas/Minnesota instead.

[Canada 02]

Russell is back and played in the Stars last two games; 20+ minutes in both

Just needs to stay healthy enough to play in 7 more games

I like the thread! I was cheering for them tonight, kinda nice we have a horse in the race.

The pick scenarios


If Dallas loses in the first 2 rounds (If Arizona does not sign Connor Bleackley drop the pick down one more spot):
#55 OA if Washington also loses in the first 2 rounds
#56 OA if Washington goes on to the Eastern Conference Finals

If Dallas goes to the Western Conference Finals and lose :
#27 OA ** only if Washington also loses the Eastern Conference Finals
#28 OA ** all other cases

If Dallas loses Stanley Cup Final:
#29 OA **

If Dallas wins Stanley cup:
#30 OA **


**(If Russell doesn't play 50% of the first 2 rounds drop the pick another 30 spots + an additional spot if the Coyotes don't sign Connor Bleackley)

I like that there's a team to follow and it'll still have implications for the Flames.

Come on everybody, we've got the biggest, shiniest bandwagon in town, hop on!

[tvp2003]

Hopefully the Stars make quick work of Minny, and then it's likely Chicago... I like their chances.

[Flames Draft Watcher]

Yep I think Dallas has a good chance of sending us that pick. They should be able to dust off MIN in short order. Then hopefully CHI and STL pound each other into the ground for 7 games while DAL is off resting and healthy. Then DAL should stand a chance against the winner of CHI/STL.

Thank you Treliving for giving us something for Flames fans to cheer on during the playoffs. It's like a little trade deadline bonus gift.

Not gonna get my hopes up. Time to go full Polak. Stars lose in game 7 of round 2.

Yeah round 2 will be a tough one for sure. Not even ruling out an upset v the Wild

[StrykerSteve]

Go Stars!

[Jay Random]

I like green.

[djsFlames]

I guess it's something to cheer for. It's hard when you're not personally invested in the team to begin with. But I can get down with Chicago not being in the conference finals, as well as getting awarded a 1st. Sick of the same old teams there at the end.

[TheCommodoreAfro]

I actually like Russell (not so much for this year, but for that time last year when he beasted it when Gio went down) so would have been cheering for him to do well anyway. Added better draft pick if they win?

Go Stars Go!

[Gaudfather]

Russell could be the gift that keeps on giving! Go Dallas Go!

When is Seguin suppose to be back?

This says he wants to be back for Game 1: http://sportsday.dallasnews.com/dall...chilles-injury

Practice on Monday is the first step.

[GreenLantern2814]

Go Dallas! I don't see that defence being champion level at all, but they should be able to beat Minnesota, and if they play the Blues I can see them getting into round 3.

If they have to play Chicago, not a chance.

[saillias]

Not sure the goaltending they are getting is going to take them further than the 2nd round, but weird things happen in the playoffs and Niemi has a cup.
