Go Stars!!!
It's amazing that we have one bad week in a half, and we're in peril of being out of the playoff point count; then, we beat a couple of our division rivals (Sharks and Ducks) and win against the CBJs, and we're back in first by points (behind in winning pct to the Sharks who have a few games in hand). That seems to be the whole NHL now except for the Red Wings and maybe the Sens - one bad streak can be very dangerous or one good streak can put you right in the thick of things.
Seems a lot of Stars fans have been calling for Jackson/Hull to pull off a deal for a scoring winger to go with Modano. I'm hoping the returns of Lehtinen (right after the ASB) and Jokinen (maybe Thursday) will be enough. The Stars don't need to go dealing off their youth for a quick fix or rent-a-player, imo. We'll see, though.
The season's a roller coaster. Went and blew a 2-0 lead last night to the Blue Jackets, so there's two needed points that slipped through our fingers. Overall and on the whole, though, I think the Stars have overachieved this year. Still, we're more than capable of either winning the Pacific or finding ourselves out of the playoffs in the end. Hopefully, the former. If we do make it, it'd be nice to get through Round One of the playoffs, too.
