Go Stars!

Lets go Stars

I would just like to say...

Go Leafs, Go Flyers, and Go Wings.

Dallas Stars currently in 8th place, but the teams behind them have 1 or 2 games in-hand.

Sigh. Life can be so twisted.

Los Angeles leads Minnesota, 1-0, early.

Good news.

I just snarl at that entire game.

4-2 Los Angeles in the 2nd period. So far so good.

Who do you thin would be the best team for dallas to face this season..ie who do we want to play if we can get there??

I dont know why...but i kind of want detroit..?? Anyone else?

Add to that go panthers...St Louis is starting to gain some ground..would like them back where they belong, in the lottery race..

In the playoffs I want CLB if they make it.

Man you know your in a tight playoff race when your idle and if results go your way you can finish the day as high as 6th and if results dont go your way you could fall out of the playoffs to 9th...jeez

8-2 Columbus over Detroit.

What the hell happened to the Wings lately? 8-0 Preds last week, and now the Jackets are destroying them.

And the Oilers beat up on Toronto 4-1.

Not a great night for Dallas. At least the Preds and Wild lost.

ahhh!! i'm so torn by this game... points are so important for both teams. definitely want it to go into OT... not quite sure who needs the win more. confidence wise, i'm gonna say montreal, cuz at least the stars have been IN the games that their losing. montreal, well, their last two games were just pathetic... as for whose playoff hopes need it more, yeah, like it's been said, it really depends on the day and what matchups are on the out of town scoreboard!

Out of curiosity what would the stars line up look like on average?

I'm assuming you mean right now on average as opposed to healthy on average.

Assuming Lehtinen is out, this is what they ran out there against Anaheim

Ott-Ribeiro-Eriksson
Neal-Morrison-Brunnstrom
Sutherby-Modano-Conner
Barch-Begin-Wilson

Alright and i was wondering which players are out for the season due to injuries? Cuz im in a mock draft game here on hf. And i need roster before trade deadline. And players without season ending injuries... :S

Zubov is the only one that is for sure done for the season, Morrow is trying to make it back but whether he will make it back for any of the regular season remains to be seen. Richards, from what I hear is hoping to make it back by the end of the month. I will start with the walking wounded.

IR:
Zubov
Morrow
Richards
Petersen

Forwards:
Barch
Brunnstrom
Begin
Conner
Eriksson
Lehtinen (DTD)
Lundqvist

Goalie:

Turco

so as a regular line up for a game. How would that look. Canceling Begin.

Everything updated. Go Stars Go.

Don't want to be too gloom and doom here (as I was told I was being a couple days ago), but the past two 3rd periods...

We have a combined 5 shots..and we've given up 5 goals.

Game Day. Go Stars Go.
