That is my favorite lineup the Stars could go with, but it will never happen.
We've been clamoring for Mark Fistric and Raymond Sawada. It's a mini-miracle they're in the lineup. Sawada's only here because Conner couldn't keep it in his pants. I don't know if I could contain myself if Wandell also got a real chance this time.
It's Sawada, Conner, and Wilson all competing for the same spot. Wilson had some nice games, but come on. He's a fill-in, not a regular. He did his job, now it's time to move on with Sawada. Conner can go work on setting the career AHL scoring record.
we are now 4 pts ahead of Anaheim with 3 games in hand..
A win tomorrow and we are 6 pts clear of 9th with 2 games still in hand...That would give us some nice breathing room.
lines I would like to see down the stretch...
Ott-Ribeiro-Lehtinen
(no need to mess with it obviously)
Neal-Petersen-Eriksson
( a great line to go against opposing top lines, has great speed. why not give toby a genuine chance over a longer period and see what he can do, at least he wont make as many mistakes as other guys...or ever get lazy)
Sawada/Wandell-Modano-Bonestorm
(I like Mo playing with two rookies..)
Lundqvist-Sutherby-Barch
(our 4th line has been great of late..very physical and contributing on the scorboard.
Our D is a bit different, there is only really one locked in pair, the other 4 (daley, grossman, fistric, robidas) can rotate through each other to find whats best
Robidas-Grossman
(Grossman is the best defenseman and Robi plays better with a good partner)
Sydor-Niskanen
(meh sydor...liking niskane since jan 1)
Daley-Fistric
(mistakes might get made but both players seem like they can play well together...loving fistric recently)

I don't understand why you switched the wings, especially Neal. I think he would benefit more playing with Modano or Ribeiro for now, because we all know whoever is with Petersen will not be on a scoring line. I like the lines Tippett ran out with last game. Let Wandell continue his growth in Europe. We aren't that desperate for him yet.
Couldn't kick what I thought was a flu bug, and I decided I knew better than everyone and wouldn't go to doctor.
Virus turned into bacterial infection that started kicking my *** at 9PM yesterday.
Bacterial infection - 1
BigG -0
On a side note, one of the funniest things ever happened at the hospital. Nurse, nice older lady, was helping me get in a gown when I heard someone fart. I was embarrassed because I thought it was my friend standing outside the curtain, but it sounded too close. When the nurse left, I chastised my friend for doing that crap in the hospital, and she thought it was me.
The damn nurse let loose while she was dressing me and acted like nothing happened. I laughed until I puked which I guess wasn't that big of an accomplishment.
