its just one game and its not like we were goign to sweep the avs anyway guyz

Gettin' worried about now...really need to pull this one out here in the end to have a shot in the series. I don't think they could recover from two blown leads on home ice.

whelp, down 2-0 in the series now...my confidence is officially shot

I think I am going to be sick

Marty Turco is NOT the answer...... they need to play Hedberg next game!!!!

Is it just me or does it seem like everytime the Stars come close to scoring in a playoff overtime period, they give up a goal on the opponents next rush down the ice?

what a joke...

i really miss having belfour in net. that said i think we should still be able to beat colorado. now it just means that we absolutely have to win next game

Giving up 10 goals in two games is deplorable!!!

agreed, but in turco's defense he made a lot of great saves, especially in game one. game one could have easily been 7 or 8 to 2

I used to hate Arnott for the crap he pulled in the Anaheim series in '03 with the stupid penalties late in the game, etc. But now he's one of the few who's worth anything. Seems like he's the only player willing to park himself in front of the net and disrupt some plays. Whenever he gets into a corner in the offensive zone, he almost always makes a centering pass. Lo and behold, nobody's there to take it!

Morrow and Guerin need to step up their offensive game. AND WILL SOMEBODY PLEASE TRY TO BLOCK A $#@^&^%#@ SHOT!!!!! I remember the days when guys like Ludwig, Kennedy, and Matvichuk had no regard for their own body and dropped in front of every shot from the top of the circle out.

And why do we always get destroyed in transition when we've got Lehtinen and Modano, two of the "best defensive forwards in the league"? Seems like you can see every goal we give up coming from a mile away.

I don't know what Turco's deal in the playoffs is, but he needs to get his head out of his arse quick.

GO STARS!!

arnott is one of my favorites. seemed to me he wanted it more than most of the other stars in the last game. if only that shot had gone in off the post...

I held a grudge for a long time because of his GW against us with NJ, and the fact that we traded Langenbrunner and Nieuwendyk to get him. They were two of my all-time favorites.

I'm coming around though. He really brought his game up this season.

Please tell me the Stars aren't done after choking at home. I want to see Calgary in the second round in Dallas. The Pepsi Center isn't as hard to win at as it once was, so I'm still hoping they can get it done.

They're a good road team, but there has to be a major adjustment for us to pull it off. (See rant above)

Go Stars

My mom just sent me this. It's harsh, but fair/funny.

Time for the Stars to step up

nice start

OMG!!!! Blowing another late lead

I've never felt this depressed about a single Dallas team playoffs...

It could be worse....you could have game 4 tickets and have to deal with all the Avs fans while facing a sweep....oh wait, that's me.

I think I'm going to puke.

*weak attempt at a moral victory*

Go Mavs!....

ok, so lets hear is for four wins in a row! yeah! go stars!

ok so maybe im just in a good mood because i get my ring in two hours. (whoop!)

Stars did team building yesterday instead of practicing so maybe they got their heads right. Not sure if that can mean 4 wins in a row but who knows.

anyone know why the OLN broadcast of the Stars/Avs game 4 isn't being shown in dallas due to blackout restrictions?

the game's in colorado, why black it out here in dallas?

n/m, it's on KDFI anyway.

ch. 27 in DFW if you have Direct TV.

Quality win!

no stupid penalties, great penalty killing, great job of keeping the Sakic line out of the game.

*crosses fingers*

I'm not as despondent as before. Marty was still good for a heart attack or two. If we win Sunday, I give us 50/50 in the series.

It's about time this team showed up. Great game all around. It would have been nice to see them play like this all series though. I'm afraid it's too little, too late.
