I have thoroughly enjoyed the Casey DeSmith experience. He is the type of backup goalie who can make fans of opposing teams absolutely hate the game of hockey for a few hours. Yet another Jim Nill home run signing.
I keep waiting for the Stars to lose one of these trap games, but they are so good that they just keep on winning ugly. I was a season ticket holder in 1998-99 and vividly remember a similar stretch of concern late in the season. This team will be just fine in the playoffs — if they get Miro back. They’re all anxious to get to the postseason. Matt Duchene made it very clear in his post-game interview.
The thing that makes me the most optimistic about this team: we've seen their floor, and it resulted in an 11-2-2 record. AS much as I 'd like to see Dallas catch the Jets, I'm not worried about Colorado.

I really enjoy your game afterthoughts, thank you!
Since I've stopped trying to understand this team and just accept the fact that they're winning its been a very fun fan experience.
Great article as always!

I worry about any match up without Miro.
We were at the game last night and I forget how awesome it is to watch hockey in person!! SO much fun!! Of course, winning makes it even better :-)
Was thinking last night this team has:
1) faced a grueling schedule as a result of traveling to Finland earlier
2) Missing their best DMan and a top-6 forward
3) is boatracing the league in terms of Ws and Ls
4) have two of the best scorers in the league since Feb 1st or whatever
5) have two of the top 10 goalies in the league, both playing at an elite level right now
and we're all whining and moaning about shot attempts.
MacKenzie Blackwood can be exploited.
