If there ever was a bandwagon.
This is the Dallas Stars' games schedule for the month of March 2009. It's disgraceful and the entire team and management should be embarrassed! 15 games...11 points (3 regulation wins, 1 OT win, 2 OTs)...11 losses (11 regulation, 3 OT). That's a 27% win percentage or 20% win percentage not counting the OT win since the opponent gets one point for the loss.
This is a younger team than a few years ago, maybe that's the issue. Turco is Turco and he lets the simplest shots go in but he also stops the seemingly unstoppable. I think in the past he's been used to having a great pair of defense guys in front of him and he just has to stop the occasional highlight-reel shot.
This team this year has sorely disappointed me time and time again. I just see a lot of lethargic play, lazy-ass attempts at defense and some over-zealous, over-stayed ice times (does Ribeiro ring a bell?). C'mon Ribs there is no RIBS in TEAM and you aren't the team! You had a very good year last year. You sported some fancy moves and nice goals but the opponents are on to you. They are not allowing you to do much like last year. That was the benefit of you having been a basic nobody until you started earning your dough last year. Relish in those good times because I think they are basically over.
Well anyway, the Stars will try again tonight against the Kings of L.A. in LA at 9:30pm CST. I probably won't see the start of it as I will be playing tennis until late this evening. I then have to study for an all important marketing exam tomorrow--which I'm probably going to fail miserably...reverse psychology better work wonders.
Anyhow, good luck to you Stars even though it basically doesn't matter. 7 points behind 8th place (STL). Six games remain against 3 teams previously lost to (1 being STL, 2 vying for the 8th spot [ANA,MIN]) and 3 teams won against (one in OT).
So here's to hoping that you win all six games and the other teams lose all their remaining, then we'll see you in the playoffs. Otherwise, you better get your tee times reserved!
