The Dallas Stars are pathetic.

The Dallas Stars, for the second game in a row, snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. Two nights ago, the Stars had a one goal lead with about three minutes left. They had a power play going. Easy, right? Wrong. They gave up a shorthanded goal, the game was tied, they went to overtime and lost. Tonight was just as painful. The Stars were up by one goal with about three minutes left AND on the power play. While on the power play, Brendan Morrow took a completely unnecessary and stupid penalty. Once the Colorado penalty was over, they immediately pulled the goalie, giving them a 2-man advantage. With just under a minute left in regulation, the Avs scored. And then in overtime, all 1:09 of it, the action was in the Stars' end, and they ended up losing.

Man, this Stars team has really sucked in this series. Turco has by and large continued his streak of playing poorly in the playoffs, and when he has been playing well, the rest of the team has done nothing to slow down the Avs.

Pathetic. Looks like it's the third year in a row that Dallas goes out in the first round.
