Here is a beat writer who's going to get so frozen out of her job it isn't funny:
QUOTE
Stars are still tent folders, can expect an early vacationDETROIT -- Don't be too upset about the Dallas Stars'
gutless-pig meltdown Thursday.
They aren't.
In fact,
players seemed pretty OK with gagging away a huge victory against a really good Detroit Red Wings team. And
nobody appeared too terribly worried about how panicky and overmatched they looked doing it.
... They are out of benefits of the doubt...
What they appear to need is a good butt kicking. But coach Dave Tippett is not that guy and the next Star who comes into the locker room and kicks over the Gatorade cooler will be the first this season. After that gut-wrenching loss, captain Brenden Morrow was actually talking about the positives.
Uhm, Brenden, you do know the "C" does not stand for cheerleader?...
Link Unbelievably harsh sarcasm from a writer whose ignorance is as severe as her criticism. She cannot justify her attitude in light of the fact that the vast majority of hockey experts did not believe Dallas would even make the playoffs this year, much less be 3rd in the entire league.

You have got to be kidding... she criticizes them for getting their butt kicked by Detroit while saying they need to get their butts kicked?!?
