Hope to see lots of Turco's 5-hole. :)

Everything updated. Took a week off from everything hockey, but yea, back obviously.

Go Stars Go.

Need to get another win, 5 points away from 9th place. Lets go Stars!!!
Stars - 5
Hawks - 3

Big game for Neal tonight! Turco gets pulled!

It's going to be Crawford again.

Maybe Turco will get the nod for our last meeting in mid-March once the Blackhawks have been eliminated and there's nothing left to lose.

Holy GDT Batman! Extreme information.

It's Craw in net tonight, please beat the Hawks! :handclap:

Go stars

Rude.

Petersen out tonight, according to Mark.

No sword for him.

Kari or Rayzer?

Kari.

Won't be watching, but its the first game all season I have money on. Hoping for a Stars win.

I predict the Stars score an ENG tonight.

That's too general. I predict Burish scores an ENG tonight.

Chicago played in LA just the day before so we should come out banging in the 1st and cash out on that..

And I for one am happy that Turco isn't playing.. let him play the 3rd when we are 1-5 up..

I honestly can't remember the last time we even scored an ENG. I'm almost positive we don't have one this season.

Answering my own question (well thought), February 11th, 2010 at Calgary. Ribeiro from center ice to make it 3-1 following a goal that we all thought Calgary had to tie it but reviewed and it didn't go in. Next faceoff, Ribeiro hit it down. Tonight will be game 63 since that one.

That's gotta be some sort of record, or close to it. :laugh:

62 games without an empty netter! :laugh:

good to have the real GDt's back lobo, mine just wasnt up to scratch..

Lets go stars..!

Burish buries a ENG to give him the hat trick. Go Stars Go!

Today will mark the birth of the Adam Burish hat trick: score a goal on a tap in rebound, get credited with a goal on a delayed penalty own goal, then score the ENG at the end to top it all off.

63 since one was scored by 63 hmmm....

Major lols Razor rubbing it in that the US got 3rd.
