Colorado Avalanche at Dallas Stars, Mar 14, 2010 2:00 PM CDT
Game 67: Colorado Avalanche @ Dallas Stars
Sunday, March 14th, 2010 · 2:00 p.m. CDT
American Airlines Center - Dallas, TX
Mile High Hockey || Kings vs Stars coverage
Reminder: I'll be live blogging from the game, so check back often.
1:38pm. Ralph Strangis came through the press box a little while ago. Every time I see him in person I am amazed at the attention his booing voice commands in a room. Love me some Ralphy.
1:54pm. The Avalanche contingent is as strong as ever. Fans of visiting teams are such a large part of the better crowds here at home. See Friday's Los Angeles game for the downside of that effect.
2:07pm. We just finished the famous heinous National Anthem. I'm not feeling any less American.
2:14pm. Lines are looking like this
Eriksson Richards Ott
Morrow Ribeiro Segal
Neal Benn Lehteinen
Barch Modano Petersen
And the Stars have some jump despite losing that hour of sleep.
2:20pm. The Avs score. Hejduk on a wrister from the top of the right circle. Marty might want to see that one again. I don't know..
2:30pm. James Neal makes a spectacular play from his stomach behind the net and gets the puck out to a wide open Jamie Benn. Dallas scores. Steve Ott immediately goes to work mixing it up and being a pest.
END OF THE FIRST PERIOD: The Stars conclude a spirited first period with 14 shots and a tie game. Not too shabby. They're paying more attention to their own end, and somehow getting some nice rushes at the same time.
No power plays yet?
BEGINNING SECOND PERIOD
Stars had an 11-6 edge in the faceoff circle. That's huge and it's something that can a long way toward getting a win today if they can keep it up. Jamie Benn won 4 of his 5 draws in the first.
3:02pm. Delay of game on Colorado to start the second, but a Brad Richards scorcher rings off the post and the Stars are unable, despite good pressure, to convert on the PP.
And now the Stars will be shorthanded.
3:06pm. Trevor Daley's tripping penalty cost the Stars as they're exposed in the middle of the ice by a nice pass and a better shot over Marty's left shoulder by Darcy Tucker. 2-1 Avs.
3:10pm. The goals keep coming. Segal cleans up a loose puck in front and it's 2-2 with 13:10 remaining in the 2nd.
3:14pm. 8 minutes, three goals. It's Segal again on a shot from the top of the circle. 3-2 Stars. 24 shots on goal already.
3:20pm. Brandon Segal fight's too. Unfortunately for him it looks like he's getting an extra two here. Avs on the PP.
3:29pm. Enter Kari Lehtonen.
The Avs tied the game up on the PP and then take the lead on a wrap around try that Marty Turco actually causes to go in by giving the Christ Stewart something to bounce the puck off of from behind the net.
END OF THE SECOND
Brandon Segal scored two goals in the second but then his roughing penalty turned the game around the other way. The Stars penalty killing, combined with what Marc Crawford evidently feels is subpar goaltending have the Stars down a goal heading into the third period.
4:04pm
Of all days to have computer problems...
Anyway, just spoke with Bob Sturm of 1310 The Ticket and he is just as nice as you'd imagine.
Special teams are quickly becoming the story of this game. The Avs have 2 power play goals and the Stars are 0-3.
4:16pm
Make that 0-4 on the PP now. Perhaps the refs have noticed. Steve Ott appeared to be high sticked in the face and there was no call. The Crowd is getting a little testy.
4:18pm.
Kari Lehtonen is not endearing himself to his new fan base at the moment. Stastny unleashed a lazy wrister from the slot that surprised everyone in the building as it was bounced off the back of the cage.
A 3-2 lead is now a 5-3 deficit.
4:34pm
And that's it. What do you think folks? Is that the last nail in the coffin? It's kind of hard to explain away at this point. Even when they play well and dominate territorially, they cannot compete in the most basic of hockey categories like special teams and goaltending. Anderson put on a show, and the Stars goaltenders...did....something else.
It's a bitter pill to swallow right now.

Anyone see the Ovechkin hit on Campbell yet?
He has to be smarter than that in that area of the ice, with all the talk about hits from “behind” and whatnot.
It was pretty reckless.
I saw it...he is a bit of a reckless player.
Never really liked him much.

And then Neal ignores the puck
And goes for a hit in the same corner.
I would think Coach Crawford would rather him get the puck…maybe he didn’t see it.
Wow
Our company hasn’t blocked the radio feed of the game online.
I’m sure it’ll be blocked by this time tomorrow though.
Defense so far..
Looks ok.. They’ve kept the Avs mostly to the outside and not given them much of a look at Turco.

Robi hesitated way too much.. then tried to center to Ribs but Mike was way to close to the net by the time he got the pass.

Why should he?
His team doesn’t need a boost, they are playing well…
Honorable Ott did drop the gloves with him, but Hendricks should be getting an extra two for instigating because it was obvious he wanted the fight.
On top of that he hurts his own team as the Avs only have 9 forwards now on the bench.

Interesting
When you’re losing a game that you’ve been kind of dominating for stretches, you have to look at the goaltender position. Crawford doesn’t like what he sees.
And they take themselves off the job
This game went from WOW to UH OH in less than 10 minutes of play.

by TracyJean on Mar 14, 2010 3:38 PM CDT via mobile reply actions
Did you hear the interview he did on The Ticket recently?
He talked about that a bit, only time he didn’t go back to the bench in his entire career. IIRC he was tired and pissed, which was a fine explanation by me.
Yeah, I heard it and that's exactly what I thought when I first noticed him not back on the bench during the game
For it to have happened that game, of all games, after the pre-game ceremony. That’s pretty upsetting for anyone. Did you see the question in the Inside the Dallas Stars newsletter which compared him to Belfour? Ridiculous.
by TracyJean on Mar 14, 2010 3:52 PM CDT via mobile up reply actions
You know how it is, the haters take every opportunity to put him down.
I’d like to see the goalie that could handle that situation any differently. Most goalies have to have some ego to do what they do. Had to be hard to swallow.
Supporting your local ice troll, 24/7/365
He also talked about signing a bunch of stuff every time he gets pulled
Turco’s really good to fans, so if he thought he might get snappy, that probably figured into his decision too. He knows no sane person thinks he’s from the same species as Belfour.
Give Anderson credit...
He’s been very good despite the three goals…

But with 51 shots sad to see that result, but Art’s right, the shots were right at Anderson.

Basically, the Stars can only drop 5 more points the rest of the season to realisitcally have a chance.
So there’s that.
At this rate, they may drop 5 more points by this time next week.
