Dallas had never lost to the Thrashers, a perfect 8-0-0 against them...prior to tonight. Johan Hedberg manned the goals for an injured Marty Turco and was staked to a 2-0 lead after 30 minutes on shots by Jason Arnott and Mike Modano. Then the bottom fell out.
Five unanswered goals by the Thrashers in the final 25 minutes doomed Dallas. The Stars got comfy and the Thrashers took full advantage. J P Vigier, Marian Hossa (twice), Vyacheslav Kozlov, and Eroc Boulton provided Thrash Flash. The boo-birds were out in full force after this game.
First loss for Hedberg since 11/2/05, and the first back-to-back home losing streak at home since Oct. 16th/20th. Friday before face-off Sergei will be honored for all of his defensive accomplishments.
