Stars defeat Wild 4-2

Thursday, October 30th, 2008 Posted in Marty Turco, Tobias Stephan | No Comments »

Congrats are in order to Tobias Stephan on his first NHL win. However, if the Stars played like that in front of Marty Turco, they wouldn't be in this mess right now. Everyone including Turco realizes what a poor start ...

Stephan to make first start in goal

Wednesday, October 29th, 2008 Posted in Marty Turco, Tobias Stephan | 1 Comment »

Things are getting a little wacky(er) now. Tobias Stephan is going to make his first start in goal this season, the second of his career, against the 6-0-1 Minnesota Wild. Does that seem like a good idea to you? The Stars have ...

Former Stars Watch

What are our old (largely Finnish) pals up to so far this season? Antti Miettinen: 6 goals, 3 assists in 7 games, and the Wild are rockin pretty hard. I suspect they will rock us pretty hard on Wednesday. Despite 9 ...

Looking ahead, or just flat out looking away

Sunday, October 26th, 2008 Posted in Marty Turco, Zubov | No Comments »

Here's what we know: The Stars have won 3 games. They have lost 6. They have the worst GAA average in the league. They have a LOT of road games coming up, including Chicago, Anaheim, San Jose, and Phoenix. Their next two games, games ...

Where is Marty Turco?

Saturday, October 25th, 2008 Posted in Bj Crombeen, Eastern Conference, Sean Avery | 1 Comment »

The Stars boast the worst GAA in the league. Marty Turco couldn't stop a basketball right now. The young Stars defense has adopted the flat footed stop-and-stare tried and true method of losing hockey games. It's easy: When the other ...

Career night for Ribeiro

Thursday, October 23rd, 2008 Posted in Mike Ribeiro | 2 Comments »

Oh, does he still play for us? A career high 5 points, including a career high 4 assists put the Stars on top of the hapless Islanders 5-3. It should have been 5-1, but I think the Stars got a ...

The comedy stylings of the Dallas Stars

Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008 Posted in Uncategorized | 2 Comments »

If you pull your goalie, and you get the same results afterward, guess what, it's not your goalie. Congrats to Brodeur by the way. I think he made 5 or 6 saves in this game. The Devils defense is so good ...

2-1 Stars over Rangers

Tuesday, October 21st, 2008 Posted in Eastern Conference | No Comments »

The Dallas Stars desperately needed that. Marty Turco desperately needed that. It's amazing what you can do when you're not constantly throwing your goaltender under the bus by turning the puck over all the time. The Stars only turned the ...

Digging a deep hole

Monday, October 20th, 2008 Posted in Uncategorized | 1 Comment »

I thought my rage might have subsided a little by Monday morning, concerning Saturdays gift giving at the AAC, but no dice. Dumb turnovers and silly mistakes gave the Avs the game on a silver platter Saturday afternoon. Mike Modano got ...

This is a joke

Thursday, October 16th, 2008 Posted in Uncategorized | 3 Comments »

When you have a talented group that looks like it really doesn't want to even be there, who's to blame? The Black hawks made their theory on that widely known this morning. I'm not suggesting that the Stars do the ...
