They're a go

That's the word from Dave Tippett regarding Brad Richards (flu) and Mike Ribeiro (elbow), as far as tonight's game is concerned. Ribeiro was having a little fun with it on Wednesday morning, saying he was a "game-time decision" with a wry smile on his face.

I'm intrigued by tonight's game. Remember the days when the Stars could just chalk up a victory against the Coyotes? No more with that. The Desert Dogs are feisty this season, so there's no gimme with this one.

At this point in the season, there shouldn't be any 'gimme' attitude on the Star's part, regardless of the team they play. The other night they didn't look like they had it together. Really encouraged by all the young guys for the future.
