Maybe I am wrong for this, but I do not like the Blackhawks logo. It just looks weird to me. The Stars ended a three game losing streak by beating the Phoenix Coyotes. New trend? No, just good old fashioned luck. You can't lose them all, I guess. I have heard of teachers who give 100s on tests if the student gets them all wrong if every question is answered. The odds of getting a zero in that situation is even lower than getting them all correct. And maybe that is how the Stars grabbed a win against the Coyotes... sounds good, anyway.Chicago is 7-4-5 (or 7-9, if you adjust things to the Johnny Ray method) and the Stars are 6-8-3 (or 6-11). Chicago is the better team, statistically speaking, and probably outright. On the point scale, Chicago ranks sixth in the Western Conference, while the Stars rank second to last (14th). I used to think that Dallas is underrated, but it is starting to grow on me a little bit that they really are this bad.
Marty Turco's 3.58 GAA is almost the worst in the NHL. Both Chicago goalies rank much higher. You have Nikolai Khabibulin ranks twelfth with a 2.38 GAA and Cristobal Huet has a 2.95 GAA. I would be willing to put in my mother as a goalie over Turco right now. He just doesn't have what it takes to get the "W" (Not George "W", but "W" as in Win. He probably has what it takes to get a George W.).
Patrick Kane is in the top 10 in points with 21. Mike Ribeiro has 18 points for the Stars.
Forecast: The Stars do not have the offense or the defense to compete with Chicago, which is hands down the reason the Blackhawks take this one 4-2.
