Full marks to Dallas, shorthanded with Seguin and Robidas out...but, Lehthonen is world class, and he stopped a 'Hawk onslaught, early, middle, and late...47 saves. The Stars tried to hold on to a 3-0 lead, but, the 'Hawks battled back...finally losing when Oduya made a bad pinch, hanging Hjarlmasson out to dry...Roussel got a penalty shot...deservedly so, and buried it for the GWG.
Not really surprising, the 'Hawks having a let down first game home after the Circus trip, as has happened before....Dallas made them pay for a sloppy (Defensively) start, by running out 3-0. Any lesser goaltending than Lehthonen's effort, however, and this game goes the other way.
