Stars @ Canucks

It was truely a great game. I know, "but Jay, it was another 1 goal game!" It was one of the most exciting 1 goal games I've ever seen. First of all, that was a beautiful goal. Stefan's pass up to the break-away Eriksson ... it just couldn't have looked any prettier. That, followed by the shootout? That heart wrenching shootout? Yes, we lost in the end, sure there are shoulda woulda coulda's ... If nothing else, look at the Three Stars of the Game, or at least the first two. Roberto Luongo and Marty Turco. How often do you see the losing goaltender in that list?

I hope you had a chance to watch that game. If not, I hope you have it recorded somewhere or can find it on YouTube or Google (I looked already today, couldn't find it).

Meanwhile, I'm looking forward to tonights game vs Edmonton. Mark over at Andrew's Dallas Stars Page has pulled out and put back and pulled out again the big red panic button and if we don't win tonight I think I'll let him hit it. Good news for us? We're a strong team, even with our 4 forwards out, our backups are showing their worth. Also, we haven't lost a game in Edmonton since 2004, so we've got a great streak up there. However, Vancouver just came off their 1000th franchise win and snapped a 4 game losing streak by throwing Florida to the ice 4-1 Tuesday. I guess we'll see.
