The stars at night/Are big and bright/Deep in the heart of Texas

Las Vegas - Gonna skate back on to the NHL ice for a look at the Stars/Wild game tonight. Not sure exactly what happened on Saturday in the opening game of the series, but Dallas was BLITZED, at HOME, by Minnesota, 6-1. That is a tough pill to swallow for a Stars team that has won 26 games at home, the most in the Western Conference. What makes it even harder to understand is, these teams split four games, with Dallas winning twice on home ice and Minny winning twice on home ice. Then SIX to ONE in the opener. YIKES! And the five goal losing margin was the ONLY time all season that Dallas has lost by five. Gotta believe that revenge and getting embarrassed at home are two factors that will tilt the ice in the direction of Dallas. The Stars WILL shine bright deep in the heart of Texas.
