Now this is an amazing stat. After Tuesday's 4-3 win over Edmonton, the Dallas Stars are 9-0 in games that go to the shootout. Jussi Jokinen and Sergei Zubov scored in the shootout in yesterday's game.

I haven't gotten to see the team play yet this year, so maybe one of you Stars fans can help me out here. What is it about these guys that make them so effective in the one-on-one match-up?

Jussi Jokinen is a Finn. It's in his blood. He has nerves of steal.

It also doesn't hurt that Turco, regardless of how well he does or doesn't play during the game, is masterful in net. He has stopped 14 of 17 shots he's faced (it's really 15 of 17 but one was reversed on a technicality of a dropped stick).
