Don't look now, but Dallas is on the move. The Stars are tied for first in their division, and they are getting healthier. When they get Derian Hatcher back, they will push it to full throttle and gear up for the playoffs. And yes, they will be a factor as long as they can stay healthy. And yes, they are as good a bet as any to win the Cup this year.
Wings seem to be struggling a bit.
Chris Osgood is back but very rusty. If he doesn't play well, you have to let him play through the slump. If you show him you have no confidence in him, he will start playing like a No. 2 guy very often. I think Ossie will get it back, and I think Scotty knows he has no choice but to play him. Chris Therien and the rookies just aren't cutting it and come playoff time, the Beezer will pay for it.
