Desjardins wouldn’t declare #TxStars goaltending situation final today. Will take lineup “game-by-game” and "both guys deserve to start."
Czeching line: The line of Radek Faksa, Matej Stransky and Kevin Henderson didn’t register a point in the Game 1 victory, but it provided energy and was one of the more consistent lines throughout regulation and overtime.
Six weeks ago, two thirds of that line wasn’t even on the roster. While Stransky has been with Texas all season, Henderson was acquired in a trade for Francis Wathier on March 9, and Faksa joined the team after finishing up his junior season with the Sudbury Wolves.
I'll say this, watching Faksa makes you realize he's the real deal. Forgetting the issues he may have had in Juniors, he's already the driving force of that line. Henderson has also been a steal and as provided grit and some skill/speed. Added with Stransky's improved skating, that will probably be the shutdown line to beat next season (provided Henderson is still around).
Also, I still like my Czech Out Line name better.

Troock, Wrenn and Campbell will make pro playoff debuts tonight. #txstars without Glennie and Gaunce.
Do they have any fans? Local 12 year old midget games get higher attendance than this.
