Aeros loose to Texas Stars :-(

In front of a large crowd (must be all those Stars supporters who drove in for the games this weekend), Aeros made one goal in first (Stoner, assists Noreau and Daoust), then the Stars came back with a total of 3 goals, and in the last minutes with Aeros goalie recalled, the team made ONE more goal to loose the game 3-2.

Stoner, Noreau, Zingoni, Smith, Daoust skated well, Rau (WOW), too, was rather effective.
But Dubie just had some BAAAD moments letting goals happen he should not have. Is it possible that having skated in Europe with its bigger rinks, the 'cosiness' (LOL) of the local rinks got to him? We saw his real frustration - sure glad he did not pound his stick to bits!

Am somewhat underwhelmed by Messrs. Milroy, Gunderson, & Lannon.
Maybe they had a bad hair day:-). Kassian and Falk seemed, well, rather defensive. Falk appeared to have had a hard collision, skating off slowly to the locker room, but was back in the sway soon.
Kalus skated fast and prettily, BUT failed to carry through at many moments.
Irmen, Rogers, Fornataro and Hilbert provided some sturdy support.
Scratches: Fraser, Almond, Feisty Fergie, McMillan, Brust. Did I miss someone?

The first period was fast paced, the second seemed much slower, and that carried over to the third until the latter half when the pace picked up again. Only one 'semi' fight that I could see and that was a no penalty kind. In all, only a few penalties were called on both teams, although I would've called a delay of game when a STAR player sent the puck into the stands, thankfully NO one was hurt. Am sure, Aeros and T3I sites will provide more 'technical' reports
THAT' S ALL Folks.

Now one thing did bug me: during the National Anthem. What I believe to be Star supporters in the end zone emphasized STARS (LOUDLY) every time that noun was sung by the school choir, showing utter lack of proper respect for the National Anthem.
Stars or no Stars. Better behavior is appropriate.
Basta. Good Night until tomoorw! Game 2 Aeros vs Stars.
Apropos Stars: Nr. 26 Beaudoin did skate tonight and while he did NOT have a goal or an assist, he did receive some pounding. Sorry, Beaudoin lovers, his 'Star' did not really 'shine' tonight ;-)
