I don't think this will be an easy game tonight, Edmonton has been playing pretty solid the last several games and they can be a tough team to play on their ice. Regardless, Dallas just needs to keep playing they way they have been, and find a way to come away with two crucial points tonight. We got some help last night, now we need to capitalize.
Nice GDT. Love how much stats you got packed in there.
+1.

GO STARS!!!!
Yep, it's been far less ugly of late. Injuries are no longer a concern and we've been gelling. That said, we stunk out the joint against the Blues just the other night.
Key factor to consider: the Oilers have the league's best PP, so stay out of the box.
Love the Oilers fans laughing at our "depth" in their GDT. Except they're completely wrong and have our 2nd line listed as Peterson-Ott-Burish.
Edit: Guess they came looking for lines in our GDT here but didn't find it, so they used Pitsburgh's GDT instead. Lobo we need line combos! This misinformation cannot be tolerated!

I can see it now... Fistric sitting in a dark room, muttering about how Nystrom is stealing all of his injury glory. Going to take his rage out on Edmonton.
Dallas (atleast over this last stretch of good play) tends to dominate the opposition at even strength, or atleast play them pretty even. If they are going to lose this game I feel it probably will come down to the special teams.
I want *atleast* 1 goal from each of the 4 lines tonight! think we can get that done Dallas?

When you have been mediocre for most of the last decade you have no choice but to laugh.

Shall add it to next year's GT. Gotta figure out where I'd put it.
