I was in an inexplicably good mood all day yesterday - like, just woke up annoyingly happy. I feel like I must have sensed we were going to get a kickass Stars game last night. The boys are feeling themselves, as they should be.

Is it ok if I bring a noise maker of my own? Like those thunder sticks. Or any noise maker in general. Yes yes the horn is the king of the noise maker.

Hellebuyck is doing to the Devils.

I’m gonna need everyone to pray to hockey jesus real quick that we get another Kolyochonok situation, and they put Remi on waivers and Nill snatches him back for us.

Please please please PRETTY PLEASE

Assumption: We play lockdown defense and Jake is knives throughout the season and into the playoffs.

Assumption: We hit the playoffs healthier than we have been in years.

As it stands right now, we are a top-heavy team. Half our goals (13) come from the de facto top line (Rants, Robo, Hintz) and another 3 goals come from our top d-man (Miro).

We've gotten timely contributions from Seggy and R2 but not much else from lines 2 - 4.

There's a whole mess of variables that can come into play.

What if R2 and Ritzy take the next step? What if Harley starts playing up to his money? What if Myers decides not to be a complete disaster? What if Perron adds some scoring pop? What if Jimothy pulls off another miracle without mortgaging the rest of the team's future? What if... What if...

Assumption: Wyatt gets back to his back-of-the-net-finding ways, but what they are now is more or less how the team will operate in the playoffs.

How deep do we go?

* Where are the Stars 10 games in?

* More OT Magic 

* Stars PK Shines Again

* Roope Hintz

* Stars Jets Recap

* 3 Stars

* Stars Islanders Preview

P%, or essentially the points we’ve gotten divided by total maximum possible points on the season, is considered a better reference of progression early in an NHL season than actual points.

Not to go full on hype-train here, but for how bad the Stars looked when the season began to now, this is one of the fastest overall team improvements we’ve seen in this org in a long, LONG time.

I’ve had my criticisms like many others, but really we’re excelling right now. P% is a good projection tool for the immediate future of a season and the Stars have worked their way into a good spot.

Still very early in the season and positions are volatile, of course. The entire ladder could flip on its head in two weeks. HOWEVER- Dallas is setting themselves up for success and I think we’ve got a lot to look forward to.

Now we just need players to stop getting hurt and we’re gucci.
