OT: Stars - Is It Possible?!?!

by dstar442005 on May 17, 2008 3:33 PM CDT

It's hard for me to put into words how proud of the Dallas Stars I am right now. After going down 0-3 in the Western Conference Finals against the best team in the NHL, the Stars have done something nobody in their right minds saw coming, they won two games in a row - one at home, one on the road. This has closed the series to 2-3.

The Stars now come back to the AAC for Game 6 on Monday. If, and I emphasize IF, the Stars win, it will force a Game 7 in Detroit.

Is it possible that our Dallas Stars could be the third NHL team in history to come back from a 3-0 series hole?

GO STARS!!!

STANLEY CUP 2008!!!

It's different in a way, though

in that they will have Game 6 at home whereas the Sharks had to face Game 6 on the road. If Turco can pull another good game out, then they have an excellent chance. At this point, who knows what might can happen. It sure has been a fun ride to watch, though.

Stars

Forget about the 0-3 deficit. This series is right where it should be. 3-2 after 5 games going back to Dallas for game 6. Unfortunately the Red Wings will come out balls to the wall on Monday. The first 10 minutes will be key. If the Stars can weather the storm so to speak they have a shot. Marty will of course have to be huge but forcing a game 7 can be done. Stars fans need to be loud from puck drop to final whistle

For me

the story of today is how proud you have to be of those guys to come out and win that particular game. When you go down 3-0 against a team like Detroit, it’s great to go out in game four at home and display your guts and pride and avoid a sweep. But you lose game five in Detroit, period.

Winning that game feels a lot to me like 1998 when they went into game five down 3-1, made the great play to tie it at the end of regulation, and then won in OT on Langenbrunner’s fluke center ice shot on Osgood. Extending the series like that kind of gave you the feeling that they could play with the best – at their best – in the playoffs, that their goaltending and checking could hold up, and even if they can’t win two more I think that you leave this season feeling great about what they accomplished and great about things going into next season, when SJ will be all the better and Detroit will still be there, but Dallas has their stuff together more than they have in a long, long time.

I agree

The Stars are fun to watch again this year. Recent years it has seemed like they just don’t have it all together come playoff time. I was kind of worried that they had regressed to this in the first couple of games of this season, but they looked really good today

Langenbrunner

I was at that game, sitting on that end of the rink too second level behind the goal. That was an exciting moment and probably the only time i’ve ever been at a sporting event where strangers were high fiving each other.

Stars seemed to control that game most of the afternoon...

They weathered a few storms by Detroit, but survived them and only allowed that kind of fluky rebound goal by Hudler. I feel pretty good at this point about forcing a game 7, and at least after today’s win, Turco’s Detroit demons have finally been overcome on the 12th try. Unfortunately I have a night class Mon & Wed nights that starts this next week, so I’m rooting for getting out early so I can hit up the University Pub on campus to watch the remaining portion of the game.

The best thing about this is

That for the first time in 2 years, we actually have a team to cheer for this late into the season.

Stars

this was the first game since the lockout that i’ve actually sat down and watched, used to follow hockey closely but just lost the desire during the year with no hockey.

guess i picked a good time to watch

Game threads didn't work for the first 3 games of this series...

Definitely don’t want to see one for Game 6 either.
