That’s pre-Barack Hussein Obama!

“I guess that’s why you throw pucks to the net, but that was a tough time to get a bounce like that”, said Dubnyk, who stopped 19 shots.
Game 5 saw the Dallas Stars slip up, with Minnesota winning the game 5-4 in overtime.
Jason Pominville slammed in a rebound with 4:47 left, setting up the frantic final flurry, but the Stars held on.
Last Week in Your Dallas Stars. At the horn the Stars were disappearing out of sight along with Minnesota’s playoff hopes. “I guess that’s the story of our season”.
Lehtonen went to the third period looking at the possibility of bookending the series with shutouts. The Stars were clearly outshined.
How the Stars suddenly forgot how to play hockey after the first period is befuddling. “That means it didn’t cross”, Stars fans answer.
That. Close. The entire puck has to cross the line and, well, it would probably be physically impossible for that play to be any closer. Despite allowing four goals, Lehtonen was solid, making some very hard saves and allowing his team to counter punch.
The final score does not do the insanity of this game justice, or the way it ended.
“You try to put whatever’s happened, good or bad, behind you as quick as you can and worry about what’s coming down the road”, Sharp said.
The most crucial goal that nearly sunk Minnesota completely was Jamie Benn’s late second period goal with less than a minute to go.
That’s all that matters in the locker room, of course. What a circus game these playoffs can be!
The NHL’s highest-scoring team during the regular season now seems likely to have Seguin back after he missed 11 games with an Achilles injury. The Wild desired those faceoffs in the Stars zone, but they could not get another goal.
The energy they played with, as Ruff said, was tremendous.
“I feel we are best when our backs are against the wall”. They’re a good enough team they’re going to get some.
Momentum swung like a pendulum between the teams during the third. The makeshift duo started generating chances together once the captain was freed from the shackles of the turnover prone Ninja. They had the puck more often than not. But this game didn’t come down to who was or wasn’t wearing forest green. This sucks this suck this sucks this sucks this sucks this sucks this sucks this suck this sucks this sucks this sucks this sucks this sucks this suck this sucks this sucks this sucks this sucks this sucks this suck this sucks this sucks this sucks this sucks this sucks this suck this sucks this sucks this sucks this sucks this sucks this suck this sucks this sucks this sucks this sucks this sucks this suck this sucks this sucks this sucks this sucks this sucks this suck this sucks this sucks this sucks this sucks this sucks this suck this sucks this sucks this sucks this sucks this sucks this suck this sucks this sucks this sucks this sucks this sucks.
There was even more chaos immediately after that when Stars Demers almost covered the puck in the crease with his hand, that would have resulted in a penalty shot. “If you get uptight and you start feeling the pressure, at some point in the game you won’t make the play that you need to execute, and you got to relax, play the game”. I know I was.
When Spurgeon scored another power-play goal at the 8:39 mark, cutting the Dallas lead to 4-3, the crowd was deafening, but Gologoski dropped the decibel level considerably. The Stars dominated the Wild Friday.
The 32-year-old continues to play with more confidence than his counterpart from Minnesota, though. His shot from the blue line hit Dubnyk and landed at the goalie’s feet. “It’s just a tough one to lose….”
The building was roaring as the Wild continued their push.
The Wild gave up the game’s first goal less than six minutes in because of two infractions, one on Charlie Coyle and one on Marco Scandella.
As tributes to Prince continue to pour in from all corners of the world, it should come as no surprise that the Minnesota Wild stepped up to pay homage to the musician who passed away on Thursday.

This Week in Dallas Stars. They moved on to face the victor of the Chicago-St. Stars fans are still anxious that this isn’t how you win in the playoffs. Tremendous recording artist. Effortless performer. The absence of two of its best forwards only enhanced that notion. He also predicted 9/11. “But I thought we stuck with it”.
