Playoff Game 2: Stars at Anaheim

OK, so I still do not know much about hockey. What I do know, limited as it may be, is that a shutout of a team ranked higher than yourself... well, that just means it is sudden dominance. And the Stars did that in Game 1. They also scored at will. A 4-0 victory in Game 1 in Anaheim says a lot. And what will become of Game 2, 3 and 4? Well, it's tough to say, but the Stars are a great team. I read an article back at the start of the season, which basically stated that the Stars would not be a playoff contender and the Mavericks would be there at the end of playoffs. I thought differently. And I still kinda feel that way, although the Mavs have got me itching a bit.

So, game 2... that's the focus. Can the goalie continue to dominate? I have to say that I noticed that Dallas shot almost 40 attempts to the Ducks 22 shots. And that means Dallas was in Duck turf most of the night and our goalie was picking his nose and practicing his bump national anthem. And so he didn't have all that much pressure, or half the pressure of the Duck goalie. I don't think there will be back-to-back shutouts. Although our guy turns it up quite a bit during the post...

Dallas and the Ducks write in a game 5... Ducks upset Dallas in Anaheim with a 2-1 score.
