I’m even starting to think we should tank this thing out to move up the draft order.

Or at least focus on making sure nobody else cops it too hard and get fresh for next season. I want to see Stephan in for a few games too.

Leave Truco in net , why have Stephane struggle with the stars now. At least Truco can say he has won the season playing the most games for a goalie. What a joke…they should of pull him long time a ago.

Ya’ know, last nights game had a lot of help by the refs. I know, I know that is just another excuse but I what kind of suspension did LA receive for taking Daley out? What penalty did the Panther player receive that high-sticked Ribs in the face and Ribs got a penalty for diving??? That one makes NO sense at all. How is pulling your head back considered diving? And, you know that the two who are in Bettman’s band of merry little men, who have been given the honor of handing, OOPS, that should be handling Ott’s trial, again OOPS I mean hearing, are going to be shaking in their boots because they will just have to make Jr.‘s dad happy. Whatever happens to Ott will be because of his reputation but I don’t even understand that. How about Pronger’s reputation, or any of the other notable bad boys. Again, no excuse for an intentional bad hit but IMO that was not a bad hit. Ott was playing hockey and the only thing he can be accused of is trying to win the game. I also think, and I know this is the conspiracy theory, there are a lot of people in high and happy places that DO NOT want to see any “Southern” team (Dallas in particular) win the cup. Of course that has nothing to do with our injuries keeping us down but there are hardly any players left to get injured so they’ll start eliminating them by suspension. After all, isn’t suspension subjective? If “they” say it is an action due suspension, then guess what, suspension is pronounced. Avery’s little comments were not actions that required a suspension but his reputation was. The rules are played however Bettman wants them played. Ott’s hit was not suspendable but since they couldn’t get him on his last situation where there was a fight and the whole Ducks’ team was on top of him and he was alone, then they will use this hit to “make an example.” BTW, who got suspended on the Ducks for that little melee started by the goalie and ended by Moen?

Now, about Marty: GET HIM OUT!!! Oh, excuse me, was I yelling too loud. Marty has had a few flashes of brilliance in the last three or so years but he has lost whatever small edge he once enjoyed. When Armstrong put Marty in his pocket and gave him a virtually free ride, it was over. Yes, Marty had a good end of the year last year and in the Vancouver series as well, but……………………….those seasons are over and gone and have nothing to do with this year except that I think Marty’s ego from his play during “the run” last year got in the way of his play this year. I think he thought he could now do no wrong and he would just continue on through his reputation. It looks to me like he really didn’t work at getting better and whatever he did do didn’t work. The comment he made last week about being better during the home stand and we would get into the playoffs. Just exactly when is he going to start keeping that promise? Marty was NOT good last year either but at least he had more games won than this year so that we were able to get in the playoffs. Our injuries were bad last year but not as bad as this year. Marty is supposed to be the last line of defense but he isn’t. He simply cannot handle any pressure around the net. Apparently this year he can’t stand any pressure from anywhere on the ice.

Yep, you guessed it. I am definitely NOT a Marty fan. I thought last year that maybe the tide had turned and I would give him another chance to WOW the fans but that didn’t happen and he even got worse. Why would you want to give him another contract and just delay the inevitable. This team cannot win the cup with Marty in goal. He has proven that for, at least, the last three years and he just keeps getting worse. He loves kids so I think it is time he gets out of the goalie business and gets in the teaching business. Of course he won’t be getting that 6 million dollars a year but he wasn’t earning it here and should not have gotten it. GET MARTY OUT!!!!!! (Marty Biron will be UFA)

As for the booing, I don’t appreciate anyone ever booing their home team FOR ANY REASON! That is NOT what “fans” do. I felt that possibly the booing and throwing programs was intended for the poor officiating. If it wasn’t for that then it was probably a bunch of drunks that like to pay the big bucks for their beer and try to look like a big man in the eyes of other drunks. When we start throwing things on the ice we lower ourselves to certain other teams we play. I won’t mention any names but they come from Michigan.
It is just sad to see the people (NOT FANS) turn their back on a group of guys whose ranks are so depleted that they are just dragging now. It is what it is with the injuries and I look forward to next year……………………with a new goalie. GO STARS!!!

If I may make one more comment: This is from the Dallas Stars site: On the aftermath of the goal, Campbell took a cheap shot at Ott, hitting him in the neck with his stick, and the two dropped their gloves, but were separated by the linesmen before any fight could ensue.

Where was Campbell’s suspension for hitting a player with his stick in the neck, ON PURPOSE. I seem to remember several suspensions for that type of infraction in the last couple of years.
