The opening minutes of last night’s victory was off to a shaky and “oh crap!” start. The defending champs drew first blood with a goal after several minutes. Then my Stars pulled together and clobbered the Griffins with SEVEN unanswered goals.
Other highlights: their goalie was benched after four goals, an empty net in the closing minutes and the score would’ve been 8-1 if the review went our way.
Now the Stars will face the Toronto Marlies this Friday for the Western Conference title. Are these guys any good? They swept Chicago and Milwaukee. I can’t remember how we fared during the regular season though. I think we can take them. We’re number one, they’re number three, we have the home-ice advantage and they’ve have too much time to rest up. Besides, they’re the farm team for the hopeless Toronto Maple Leafs.
