This should be an interesting game...

Stars are on the road, down two players….and coming off a bad loss.

I predict a 3-1 win.

Perfect.

Awesome.

Thank god adthe.net has it too (for those outside the Stars area). Although I have a feeling these San Jose announcers are going to be very biased. Are they always like that?

Ehhh..

They’re not horrible. Every team’s announcers are a bit biased. Even R&R.

I'm going to have to go back and look at those two hits...

But the fact that Ott was called for it and Staubitz wasn’t is grand freaking larceny.

Although I’m guessing that because it’s Ott and in the neutral zone they’ll call that one over the first.

I can’t wait until the Stars start moving on. Turco, Modano, Lehtinen, Morrow. Seems like we’re just spinning our wheels again this season. No real promise besides getting knocked out in the first round of the playoffs at best.

i always thought it was dumb

that you can get a diving penalty when the other guy gets a roughing, or high sticking penalty. I mean if there was a penalty, you shouldn’t get called for diving (unless its OVERLY dramatic). Now, if there wasn’t a penalty, and you roll around on the ice, that should be diving.
