My Stars.....my beloved Stars....only gave yet another half-hearted effort last night. We looked REALLY good in the first ten minutes. And we did score twice. But again I found myself screaming more than once....."How did that not go in!!!???" You know, guys, it's not very likely that the puck will go in the net when you shoot STRAIGHT at the goalie's belly. But, you know, I'm no expert.....
So, onto the decision. My parents have partial season tickets so, therefore, have tickets to all the playoff games. My dad asked over the weekend whether I wanted to come to Dallas for Game 4. Of course I said yes! Now....maybe not so much. I love my Stars. I've been with them since their first season. But do I really want to take a day and a half of work, fly to Dallas, and see them bow out of the playoffs? (I'm a realist....what can I say?). The only thing that actually makes me think I might go is we have three older players whose retirements may be around the corner (Zubov, Barnes and Modano). Barnes is out with an injury.....but what if this is the last game Zubov and/or Modano play? What if they retire after this is over? (note: I have not heard any rumors. This is simply based on age (all three will be 38 this year) and injuries (Barnes and Zubov are out a lot) ). I would never forgive myself if I had the chance to see Modano's last game and I didn't. I have already said that come hell or high water, I WILL be in the building when they retire his number. I am saving my money now.
What to do, what to do. Stupid Stars!!

Depends on how hard you hit it! ;))
Oh, and I've revised my estimate to Detroit in 4 games after last night's performance. How 'bout Datsyuk's hat trick!
Thought your post about kavi.org was really interesting, btw. Keep up the good work!
At least they are shooting the puck! (see the Flyers shot totals against the Pens)
I'm not giving up hope on a 0-3 comeback for my Orange and Black yet, so I think you should hang in there too. It's never happened twice in the same year has it? Maybe this is the year???
It could happen...
No ... really it could!
yes the weather is nice in the imaginary world that I live in.
keep us posted.
And just in case you all were just waiting with bated breath....I'm not going to Dallas. Weather was a big factor as there are storms forecasted on both ends. I fly "space available" and weather is the enemy....
beerman....I like your imaginary world. No humidity, right? And the current mantra in Dallas is "33 Years" (how long it's been since the last team came back from being down 0-3). I think someone's due...
Hey Stephanie,
I was bored this morning so I wandered onto your old posts... I especially like the one in '07 where your last line says you vow to post more blogs... and then the next one comes 6 months later...LOL. Since you didn't have an e-mail associated with your profile, I'm sending you a note via this avenue. We have some things in common and I was wondering if you'd consider becoming friends? My e-mail addy is jumpthedog@gmail.com, if ur interested. My blog can clue you in on me(don't let it scare you). The rest you can feel free to ask.
Hope you decide to,
Dave
