Up against the wall

The Stars have talked about the adversity they've faced all season. I'm fine with that. They've had their share, especially with all the injuries they've gone through, first with defense and now with the forwards. But this? This is definitely adversity with a capital A.

First, let's be honest about one thing: The Red Wings are good. Scary good. They do everything so tactically sound that you just sit there and shake your head. And I'm not even sure if close-to-perfect works against these guys. They just win. Everywhere. Can the Stars come back? Coming back from 3-0 is very unlikely, and not just ragging on the Stars here. Only two teams in the history of NHL playoffs has done it. It's just difficult no matter who you are.

Still, the Stars can't just fold up and disappear here. They've got to play like a team down 3-0 should play on Wednesday: Leave it all out there, like there's no tomorrow. They're very close to that being true.

See my comments under the "Well Stars Fans . . ." post.

I just hope they win a game or two and avoid the sweep. =(

Maybe a miracle will happen but I'm gearing up for a Stanley Cup NEXT year, a la the '98 and '99 seasons.
