Dear Hockey Jesus...
Please let this not be too bad a loss for our beloved Stars and if you feel even extra compassionate tonight, if the Stars can squeak out a win, we’d really, really appreciate it!

while we're praying to hockey gods :D
we know you hate the sharks as much as we do. empower the stars with your anti-san jose wrath, firey hockey sticks, non-red wings, etc. to inspire humility.

Dude you need to pray to Hockey Jesus
More often. And start earlier in the season.
No doubt Hockey Jesus is rocking the mullet.
Well i guess if you look at it this way
We are not the 4th worst team in the NHL, so if we pick at that number we will be better that much quicker.
At the aac
First and probably only game I’m going to for the season, hopefully they’ll at least make it interesting…

Hey, all.
My expectations are REALLY low, so if we manage to do anything, I’ll die of the shock.
And we’ve got a 4 min PP. Guys, think the special teams can show up tonight
by TracyJean on Mar 16, 2010 7:45 PM CDT via mobile reply actions
Smart penalty
The Stars can’t likely score on a 5 minute major, 4 minute double minor, whatever
And they take out the guy most likely to score as well.
Would have much rather had the goal…
I'd like to reply to this...
But I can’t because I had to gouge my eyes out five seconds into that angle.

There's that high challenge we heard about Lehtonen
But he makes me really, really nervous right now
Same here...
Although to be honest if the Stars had an actual brick wall in front of the net, I’d worry the puck would be shot through it knowing the Stars luck…

I could not get that feed up there to load…for some reason NHL.com has the game blacked out, which I don’t understand since I am in Missouri…Does anyone have a different link for the game?

Clowe was "injured" by the hit.

Expect a 7 game suspension by the NHL..
Just because that’s how the NHL rolls.
And Collin will probably get Steve Ott for three as well on that play just because it’s Steve Ott..

He didn't "railroad" him,
but hitting guys in the back is what people are talking bout when they mean that NHLers don’t respect each other much anymore.
Mile High Hockey: A Colorado Avalanche Fan Community
Defending Big D: A Dallas Stars blog on SBN: easy to use, free to join.
I dont see any disrespect there
it did not seem like an intent to injure, rather just bump him off the puck. Was the result good, no but you also have to think that if a guy is going into bump someone off the puck and the guy turns to protect the puck, they can’t always stop. In the end I don’t think he will get a suspension, but I also think the game misconduct was a little much.
I didn't see Robidas trying to hurt Clowe
but the “disrespect” part comes with hitting someone in the back. This hit was magnified in that Clowe was playing the puck close to the boards and wasn’t able to brace himself against the boards with his hands. His head was what hit first and almost seemed like his face “rubbed” hard against the glass and that’s what cut him, not the big hit. If Clowe gets his hands up, not an issue.

Pretty sure you have realized why we are concerned about the Sharks right now. Just sayin’.

I’ll probably add this into a comment on the main post as well, but here’s some context for where those twenty goals have come from, and how the games have gone since the Olympics.

Hockey jesus came through for poster #1
I’m watching Sharks post-game show for a different perspective – Randy and Drew are flabbergasted. Drew is blathering about all sorts of stuff. Anyway great win (hopefully not meaningless) for the Stars
It's nice how we get one of these a year
8 again SAN this year, 10 against NYR last year, these are exciting games to DVR and watch over and over again
why do you do this on both the rangers and stars board?
i dont understand what it is supposed to mean
"They’ve taken the Illini to the woodshed."
-Steve Lavin on Mizzou v. Illinois
So maybe...
The Sharks have a little something to be concerned about after all…Hockey Jesus REALLY hates the SJ Sharks. And who could blame him?
It's a nice win and all
Really, who cares about the win at this point though? I’m just happy to see Kari Lehtonen performing well. Tis very encouraging.
I’m starting to develop a mancrush on Brandon Segal too.
