Full game thread updated.

Doesn't look like Modano will play tonight against Edmonton.

Modano out a week after a crack was found in his ribs.

Saw that coming. Powerplay Goal. Wide open infront. 1-0 Edmonton.

THEY SCOREEEEEE!!!

BRENDEN MORROW! HIS FIRST GOAL OF THE YEAR!

Wow. Tipped in by the Oiler player. He's back :) Jamie Benn's first point ever. 1-1 in EDM.




Nevermind. Morrow's goal unassisted.

I knew I saw Benn have that puck before it went in.

Benn does get his first ever point.

Oh, good....it's on FSW......Go Stars!!!!

Dallas coming on late. Early, the Oilers were just runnin with it.

THEY SCOREEEEEE!!!

JAMES NEAL! THAT'S AAAAAAAAA Shorthanded Goal!

3rd of the year! Heck yes! 2-1 Dallas!

They score. Right back. Gagner. Powerplay goal. 2-2.

I didn't have enough time to celebrate the lead before it was tied again.....gonna be one of those days....lol....thanks for the good job you do on the game threads....keep it up.....Go Stars!!

THEY SCOREEEEEE!!!

ROBIDAS SCORES!

That's a.............POWERPLAY GOAL!

3-2 Stars.

....lol...and I missed it AGAIN....every time I turn it to the football game, the Stars score.....I'm going to get the hint one of these days.....

They score. Wow. Dustin Penner. That was impressive. Woywitka mistake. 3-3.

Holy ####. How did that not go in?!?!?!

Powerplay Dallas to start the 3rd. James Neal = BEAST

It was about as close as one can get without going into the net...WOW!!! I'm going to bed....I'll check out your updates in the morning.....

THEY SCOREEEEEE!!!

BRENDEN MORROW! His 2nd of the night!

That's anotherrrrrrrrr....POWERPLAY GOAL! 4-3 Dallas!

I just turned the game on and its the first one I've been able to see this season...is there a noticeable style difference in terms of how the team approaches the game with Crawford as coach?

They score. That was awful. Absolutely awful. Right as the PK ended. 4-4.

Are we shocked?

ROUND 3 -
No Goal
GOAL

0-0-82 dream is alive.

Can we please find a new goalie already?

I think it was said that last nights game was the first game since 1999 that no member of the '99 Cup team was on the ice.

HUGE difference. Dallas deserved to win both games...but sadly we have Marty Turco in net.

Turco is hockey's version of Tony Romo!

Turco IS having a rough go at it right now......maybe they can get it together before the next game....it would be nice to actually get a win here.....
