Dallas lost to Detroit 4-1.
As I have this game on in the background of my living room while finishing up loose ends for this semester, I'm hearing some good things. Now Turco is faltering a bit, but the forwards aren't playing too bad. I may just have the mindset of "oh it could be worse" but I'm not flipping the panic switch yet or writing off the season. We play the Ducks tonight, then the Oilers on Saturday (which I will be attending) then head back off on the road, where we tend to play better, which is strange to say as we've lost our last two road games. Tonight's game will bring some changes to the lines; Neal-Modano-Lehtinen and Richards-Eriksson-Ott. Will they work? Perhaps. Neal will inject some youth to the old man line, and he did play well with Modano last season. Ott could be the bad boy that charges the net, opening up new scoring opportunities for Richards who is actually an elite pointsman at this point in the season (fifth in the NHL). If Eriksson can recapture lightning in his bottle and Lehtinen find the board, this switch could work. Time will tell though, since this is such a hard game to predict. This upcoming road trip could launch the Stars back into the thick of the division, as we tour the West coast against our main competition.
-Barch has more fights than the entire rest of the team.
-I still don't like Matthew Barnaby as an analyst. I hadn't seen him in a while, but then he popped back up.
