But the Stars put up 50 shots in a losing effort. No goalie can withstand that, as MacIntyre proved. The Stars have only lost once after losing a game in these playoffs, and even in that loss, they played a strong game. And if a sellout crowd in St. Johns is such the overwhelming factor, why hasn't the team done better on home ice than their record indicates?

I don't think either can match "Hockey Skills" with Texas but have to depend on variables that can fall either way to win. Like Toronto the Ice Cap's will live and die with goal tending. Hutch had a great game in game 2 (as did McIntyre in game 1 in the Toronto series.) I still have the same concerns with Nilstorp giving up an early easy goal, like Toronto, the Ice Cap's can far better game manage playing from ahead than even or behind and that early goal can totally dictate style of play. I really wasn't to worried with Texas losing game two, although winning the series quick and clean would be great a part of me wants them to win it here in game 6. A win tonight would put them "on schedule" for that I would think.<br /><br />Carl Phinneynoreply@blogger.com
