The recent developments with teams cancelling Pride nights and players abstaining is making me so sad. I’m concerned that the league will discourage teams from doing it going forward to avoid bad press.
Also it is worrisome about Otter’s workload – both in games played and in game. I know he’s young but the potential for burnout is there. Especially when the team just isn’t doing anything to support him during the games.

In keeping with the suggested topic of the thread…
Extremely PROUD of our players and our organization for not being caught up in any of this nonsense.

I understand why some folks see team participation as pandering akin to corporations changing their Twitter logos during Pride, but it says volumes more making a point to abstain. Just glad we didn’t have any holdouts.

This is exactly what I was hoping for out of Miro this year as D1.
He’s already shattered his season high in points, he looks *really* good quarterbacking the power play, he’s averaging a career high in TOI, this point streak is giving him the confidence and charisma he deserves, and he still plays better D than that kale salad they serve in Colorado😮💨😮💨

Miro is the only player on the team with Green and Black gloves. I wish everyone on the team had 2 color gloves like Vegas with the black and gold/white gold. Our boys would look so sick with black and green for home and white and green gloves for the road.

If they have jerseys with that flag they should definitely have one with the US flag. For everyone.

We recalled Matt Murray. I think we’ve seen the last of Wedge, yall

Would have liked Poirier to have gotten a shot in a game. Murray hasn’t done anything to not warrant coming back up (none of the goals against were egregiously his fault, in so far as I can recall), but Remi has been pretty good across both AHL and ECHL. The storyline of getting a game in all three leagues is a pretty solid one if he performs well. Why not give the kid a chance against a Vancouver, Arizona, or Chicago?

I really like the idea of Colin Miller as our ~veteran presence~ going forward. He’s been reliably solid, would love to see him stick around for a while

Can’t recall seeing Jamie smile so much after the team scores. I like the vibe this group seems to have even though their on-ice play can be a little streaky. They seem to get along really well and I can feel the belief the players have in each other as well.
Going to be a crazy last 10 games heading into the playoffs. I hope we win the division. Looks like our potential opponents could be Avs, Wild, Jets, or Kraken. With an outside shot of Preds or Flames. Everything is super tight but dropping to 2nd or 3rd and playing the Avs in round 1 for example would not be ideal..
Go Yotes!

Gurianov is thriving in Montreal right now and I love it.

I just want to say that JAMIE BENN is my father. That is all, I love you ladies and gents of the best sports subreddit in the world!!!

My Modano CCM jersey came in the mail. Loving it so far

I’ll tell you, once I found out about a Stars playoff win via a billboard on I-30.

I have 4 various Dallas Stars car flags (cup winner, just our logo, etc) and I want to hang them on the wall.
Does anyone know how to hang a car flag on the wall?
I wish we had a better pride night jersey. Some of this year’s others around the league are so sick.

I wish our special jerseys weren’t so boring.

After about a year and a half of super hard work, I managed to get into my dream MBA program yesterday. Ever had one of those days where you realize your life just completely changed, like your wedding or having a child maybe? It was the first I’ve ever experienced, and I’m still coming down from the high.
Mostly lurked here through the years, but both Stars hockey and y’all have always been a source of comfort and community for me and wanted to celebrate with you all. Getting the win last night was a great cherry on top.
I’ll try to make a few converts to the Stars and am excited to hit all the road arenas up in the northeast for the next few years!

Pedant here, yd they skip the red line?

I’m going to see the stars echl affiliate team tonight. Will there be any prospects or players to watch for?

This might be unpopular, but I personally am fine with most of our OT losses. We aren’t crumbling in regulation, and it’s better than getting no points at all. However painful last month was I think it’s important to remember how many times we earned a point instead of a straight zero point loss.
And yeah, seeing Jamie really mature like a fine wine and the young ones stepping up this year, we’re gonna be good for a minute here.
Also, the thought that Robertson is 2 away from Modano’s best years in points is amazing and I’m so proud of the kid. He’s done it with such ease and class. Glad we have him

Can we all agree how bad the Roope bobbleheads are? They look like Rupp Sintz more than Roope Hintz.

COVID and strep going through my house right now. It’s awful and our first time with it. I’m camping out in the living room with my daughter who can’t seem to keep anything down.
Brutal weekend at the gentleman bronco house.
So happy that our boys all wore the pride jerseys with no drama. And I’m at the point where I don’t have anymore patience trying to explain inclusion to those who clearly don’t want inclusion.

My new 3×5 Stars flag came in today so I’ll call that a win. Anyone else bummed they keep scheduling NCAA playoff games at the same time as the boys?
To me is not about the organization. The organization should do all of these nights. To me it is just begging for bad media when you bring a controversial topic and then make hundred of people think like you do.
Most of yall want to love the gay community, but show no respect for others religious beliefs. These are things some people have lived by their entire life. The foundations of their self. Another of yall are looking at a very little picture.
« Oh this guy refuses, he bad and bigot and asshole »
There is no good reason to include a large section of people (the players). The chances of all players complying is almost 0 and if 1 person doesn’t comply it brings bad media. It’s not the players or the teams fault, it’s the NHLs fault for putting the league in this mess.
You want to sell jerseys, sell signed rainbow jerseys. Auction them off.
I’m not singling out pride, do the same for all of these nights. The league should be taking control of their press to protect the league.

I saw a site that sells a [little bracket for $4](https://www.sportsflagsandpennants.com/car_flag_wall_bracket_79840_prd1.html) (better [images](https://imgur.com/a/ySsy6zO)) but they’ve been out of stock for over a year now.
When does Miro finally get Norris votes?
