I hope Nill addresses this in the off season.

Lots of things here not to forget, our team on the whole is very young. Especially the Defense, Goose sucks and I doubt he will be here next season. Too many mistakes on the defense for almost any Goaltender to overcome. There is a stat that has been coming up if a goalie plays too many games prior to the payoffs they fail. That is where the two goalie system is coming from.
But the stars as a team at times need a much better backcheck, they need to cover their points, and I mean Holy shit they had not just three guys behind the net but FOUR guys behind their own net. Fuck who is there to help the goalie if everyone is behind the net? It did pop out and we were scored on. What comes first a great defense or a great goalie. I will challenge that every outstanding goalie needs at least a strong defense helping. Good news is we have lots of great talent that is young and developing that will be outstanding, Klingberg, Johns, Nemeth, are very young. Demers, Russell, and Oduya are strong and we have more solid guys developing in Austin. Jim Nill is amazing.
The Stars had the best record in the West this year, and last year we did not make the playoffs, the Stars will be better each year under Nill, just be patient it has been a hell of a turnaround, and the Blues are probably the best team this year in the West, and I think they might be the best in all of the NHL this year I guess we will see.
Dallas Stars...
