| It's getting uglier by the week in Dallas where the fingers are being pointed more frequently by a team that has no solution in sight. |

| The Stars looked much better in Anaheim and even San Jose, where they could have won had Marty Turco not had a brain freeze in the dying seconds. The return of Sergei Zubov is a very good thing here though. |

| This is a good team that got better as last season went along while it transitioned smoothly from the veteran core to younger players who still have room to grow. |

| No offense from Richards, Ribeiro and Hagman heading into the playoffs and no Zubov in the lineup. Not a good way for Dallas to take on the Ducks. |

| The good news is that goalie Marty Turco and the Stars held their own Sunday against Anaheim, a possible first-round playoff opponent. The bad news is that Dallas went 2-6-2 through March. |
