Stars make big bucks on playoff run

Saturday, May 31st, 2008 Posted in Uncategorized | No Comments »

A NHL ticket revenue report has been leaked, according to this very web site (www.hockeyanalysis.com). Stars were -0.5% per game from last year. You can see it here: http://www3.thestar.com/static/PDF/080530_nhl_tickets_revenue.pdf There is a note about the Stars there, apparently we're down to 12,500 season ...

A tale of two Syd’s…

Ok, so maybe good old Sydor didn't play THAT great tonight, but for a guy who hasn't played a single game since March, jumping into game 3 of the Finals and playing that well was pretty impressive to Stars fans ...

What ifs

Tuesday, May 27th, 2008 Posted in Uncategorized | No Comments »

Now, I'm not saying that the Stars would have defeated the Penguins, beat up as they were (it would've been pretty even), but as one watches these games you have to think that the Stars would have at least provided ...

GM’s Hull and Jackson Extended

Mark Cuban, Jerry Jones, and Brett Hull. If there is another sports city where a crazier group of people are making personnel decisions, I don't know about it. Maybe only in a sports-scape as diverse as ours can the 2 headed ...

Thank you Stars

The season that just won’t die

Well here we go. 3 hours from now we'll be watching our 100th Stars game of the season. Wow. That's a lot of hockey. I'll continue my trend of picking against the Stars and say the Wings will remember "Oh ...

Germans, Pearl Harbor, etc.

There are a lot of clichés being thrown around Dallas these days. Razor says it best when he talks about eating an elephant one bite at a time. Is it still "over"? I don't know. I'm still inclined to have ...

One last hurrah

Thursday, May 15th, 2008 Posted in Uncategorized | No Comments »

Put away your brooms, the Stars sucked it up and gave us what I suspect is one last celebration last night, defeating the Red Wings 3-1. They were out-shot, out-chanced, and "out-face-offed" (I'm sure that's a word, don't look it ...

“Have a good summer”

Yes, the Stars will be cleaning out their desks and signing year books later this week. Summer time is here again. A statistical analysis of game 3 would reveal little that we don't already know. You may as well examine stats ...

That's about all I have right now. There are some walks down the stairs at the AAC that are longer than others. Tonight was one of those nights. Oh well, oh well. The little team that's not supposed to be here writes the ...
