Well I'm happy for the win but still angry with Marty Turco. He played a decent game. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy with him playing well. I just want some consistency out of him...is that too much to ask? We dominated the first two periods and the third was a little iffy. Overall a pretty solid game which thankfully resulted in two points and not just one. Steve Ott rejuvinated this team. He and Morrow play a very similar game, which could result in being the backbone of the team this season.


First Period (1-0)
Loooooooui Ericksson had a Morrow-ish goal after fighting in tight for a rebound. Could have had a second but his breakaway was stuffed by Hiller.
Second Period (3-1)
You can't mess up when Mike Ribiero and Brenden Morrow are on the ice. Hiller coughed up the puck behind the net, Ribeiro tapped it to Morrow who in return tapped it in. Did not know Trevor Daley could shoot top shelf on an angle...untill tonight. Ryan Getzlaf suprisingly scored his first of the season tonight on a tired defense pair towards the end of the frame.
Third Period (4-2)
Ducks cut it to one on an ugly Joffrey Lupul goal. Then Anaheim turned it on. Chance after chance resulting in a hectic ending to this one. Despite having clearing problems, Dallas held on and Steve Ott gets tonight's empty net goal to finish them off.


-Two fights tonight, neither of much note.
-Caution: Falling Stars. Modano, Lehtinen, and Richards are out. Ott came back, and now my boy Matt Niskanen is hurt after being up-ended along the boards and landing awkwardly.
-Power play/penalty kill didn't change on NHL.com since I'm actually on time with this game and wasn't with the last.


Up Next:
Thursday night takes us to LA for another shot at the Kings. The team will be tired but Auld will be fresh. (Assuming they stick to starting him) I like the Stars in this one. Dallas 3 Kings 1
