When it's good....it's really good

And when it's bad, the world is coming to the end and you're falling down the standings.... The Stars season seems to sit upon the edge of that knife every single night. How long before the constant adversity and falling behind tears this team apart?

I was watching the Mavs at the AAC and I was not watching the Star fall behind 4-1 to the Oilers. When I finally checked the score for the first time, it was 4-4, and I figured "hey must be a good game." Little did I know they were making a huge comeback, only to blow it on the most bizarre 10 seconds of hockey you will ever see.

Then they get it to the shootout and Marty takes care of the rest. Jussi combined his two favorite moves for a third one that was just ridiculous. You have to see these high-lights. www.dallasstars.com

Meanwhile, in downtown Dallas the Mavericks were finding themselves lacking a little motivation perhaps? They got badly out-rebounded in the first half, and only managed to close the margine a little bit in winning.

The final score says they won by 9, but it felt like they won by a point. Close game. Jason Terry gets 1 point?

An entire game worth of minutes from Diop, Dampier, and Mbenga gets them 0 points and 9 rebounds. Wow. Good thing we don't have to go to San Antonio and play the Spurs the very next night. Oh wait we do....

Either way, it was a good win for the Mavs. It's good for them to have to come from behind. The crowd there continues to impress me. Educated as always, and everyone cheered for Marquis Daniels and Darryl Armstrong. Very classy.
