Another loss. What else could be expected

And we got beat by those ugly ass Stars third jersey!

I didnt watch the game since I didnt want to hear Rimer and Engboob. I did catch some the game on the radio

Stars gave Prusek 18 shots, he give up 6. A save % of 66.someting. (Sorry... it's been a long time since I've had that bad in adult rec league) . Apparently it wasn't all Prusek. I understand the D wasnt clearing the rebounds. There were 3 power play goals (on 8 power plays so where was our penalty kill). One shorthanded goal.

At the start of November, Stars goalie Marty Turco was 4-4-1 with a 3.64 goals-against average and a .872 save percentage. He was given a week off, which he spent working with goaltending coach Andy Moog. It was a back-to-basics camp.

Turco got back in the net and won six of seven games heading into last night’s game and was named the league’s defensive player of the week Monday.

While we have a lot of problems (Fedorov and Nash is not going to be our salvation), I think our goaltending issue MUST be addressed. True our D is not clearing rebound, but the goalie has to do his part.

We are a few losses from being out if it for the season. Let's call Lelclair up, send someone down or on waivers ( Denis) and get him the experience he needs to be a starting NHL goalie.

And mabye we should take a look at the goalie coaching, or the lack thereof.
