Chickens on the Run: Game 34: Stars vs. Ducks

The Stars are coming off a whooping... and this time, it was the Stars doing the whooping instead of receiving one. The Stars are still in the land of awful, but now they are 14-14-5... take away the overtime loses, and they are at 500. You take away all the goals they gave up this season, and heck, the Stars would look like defensive giants. But, alas, they have one of the worst defenses around.

**Dallas Stars Player Stats 08-09**
Name	Brad Richards	Mike Ribeiro	Loui Eriksson	Mike Modano
Goals	9	5	18	11
Assists	20	23	8	11
Points	29	28	26	22
+/-	-8	-5	+3	0

The Stars "seem" to be getting better. They are responding pretty well in games and even though the defense doesn't hold up too well, the offense is starting to spark, which is grabbing down some wins for the team. Will the defense start picking up soon?

**Anaheim Ducks Player Stats 08-09**
Name	Ryan Getzlaf	Corey Perry	Teemu Selanne	Chris Kunitz
Goals	14	9	14	8
Assists	25	23	13	14
Points	39	32	27	22
+/-	+6	+5	-6	+4

These guys have some scoring power and a strong defensive stance. It should spell out trouble for the Stars. Selanne should be out with a thigh laceration.
