Before you dismiss October hockey know two things:1. The NBA season is dead. We just don't know it yet.
2. Points accrued in October count just as much as those in May.
If the Dallas Stars find themselves in need of a point this coming March, there's a chance they had already found it in October.
The Stars beat the Anaheim Ducks 3-1 tonight. They are 6-1 now and 2-1 on the road, having won two straight.
Should things continue at the pace as it happens on the ice, I can really see this little run paying off in the end. Things are not entirely sharp. It appears that focus is lost and the Stars turn in 15 great minutes in exchange for 15 lousy minutes where the opposition tends to hang on to the puck in the Stars' end.
The Stars survived tonight giving up 36 shots whilst attempting 19. The Stars also gave in four power plays and, luckily, gave up just one goal, and even that was rather flukey happening just before the buzzer signaling the end of the second period.
Still, the Stars stand on top as this little crest of the wave continues to move upward.
1. The second line rocked the Ducks' world. Loui Eriksson, Jamie Benn and Steve Ott combined to go +6 with two goals and four assists.
2. Kari Lehtonen is 6-0 this season.
3. Stars play tomorrow night in Los Angeles against a Kings team many thing are Stanley Cup contenders. Fantastic measuring stick.
4. Lehtonen reminds me of the lead singer from The Ataris.
