Dallas Stars are straight kicking' a**

[Baba Ganoush]

I don't think it was quite as bad as the score looks. The defense was pretty weak in the slot, but they were playing a young, wickedly fast and high tempo team on the second leg of a back to back.

They were fast, and every time a Star had the puck they were met with a tenacious Jet. We just looked unprepared, but not necessarily outmatched. That arena is something else as well. It reminded me of the first few seasons of the Stars at Reunion, where the smaller venue and extremely energetic crowd was a huge motivational force for the team.

[Slowhand]

Well their hot streak ended tonite in Winnepeg with a 5-2 flop, letting in 4 goals in the 2nd. The Jets were all over them and the Stars looked befuddled at times. Still managed 10 wins in their last 12, not too shabby, and still 1st in their division.

Next game against the Blackhawks, Friday. It should be entertaining.

I miss the good ole days at Reunion when the crown was large and loud. It was that way for a little while at the AAC, then it kinda died. Being at the Pens game it was freakin awesome. Crowd was all into it, and there wasn't an empty seat. I love games like that.

The one thing I will say, is the in arena music/etc is so loud it pretty much over-rides anything the crowd does. Of course, they probably did that because the crowd does not do much, because I don't remember the music being that loud when AAC opened.

I bet in the arena, it was awesome, but it wasn't bad on TV. I'm wondering how many people started heading for the exits when the Stars went down 3-2 and how many people kicked themselves later for finding out they had tied it up. I was watching at home and was just like "@#$%". Then when they tied it up with a minute left, I was pretty sure they'd win it. Then I started getting antsy the longer the shootout went on. That was a helluva finish to the game.

The song is growing on me more and more.

I admit, I could not hold it anymore and was in the pisser during the goal listening to the ticket over the speakers. Waaay odd, a bunch of dudes pissing and cheering over that goal.

The game may have been boring on TV, but in arena it was awesome.

I fucking can't stand Pantera, and even I'm mad that they canned that as the "fight song".

I can not stand the current theme song they have when they score a goal. It makes me wanna choke a baby. Sometimes change isn't good. I like the old one.

Only complaint I have about last night's game was - why do they always seem to do OT/SO when I'm there? I gotta work the next morning and am getting old!

The game may have been boring on TV, but in arena it was awesome. The wife got the tickets via an event she went to for the Stars and I guess they had other CHEAP tickets via Dallas Morning News...etc. Anyway, the place was way fuller than I even see it on the weekends and the crowd was into it.

I swear a couple of times Ribeiro looked into the crowds with a "Is this the right crowd" look on his face. Either way, great game.
