Dallas Stars beat the St. Louis Blues 3-2

I covered the Stars / Blues NHL game last Friday night for the Associated Press. The Stars looked really disorganized early in the game, but came back to win 3-2.

Dallas Stars run over the Pittsburgh Penguins, Texas Ranger's make an appearance

The Stars beat the Penguins goal wise (5-2) and fighting wise. There were at least three fights during the game including one with Sideny Crosby. My photo of Penguins' Crosby fighting Dallas' Matt Niskanen  ran as the center piece photo in The Dallas Morning News' Sports page. The Texas Ranger's Jorge Cantu and Elvis Andrus also made an appearance in the stands.
