Offensive explosion in Phoenix

Tuesday, March 31st, 2009 Posted in Patrick Stephan | No Comments »

With more injured players than the Coyotes have fans, the Stars dressed some homeless guys in order to ice a team last night, and threw their oft maligned backup netminder Stephan to the "dogs", so that he could prove to ...

4 of 6 injured on the blue line? Really?

Monday, March 30th, 2009 Posted in fabian brunnstrom | No Comments »

Zubov, Robidas, Daley and Fistric. The season of insult and injury reaches new comedic heights this evening as the Stars try to find enough healthy bodies to ice a team in Phoenix. Having lost 6 games in a row, the Stars ...

Add 2 more to the body count

The Kings spared the Stars to death on Thursday night in what must have been the most mundane, boring, sloppy hockey game I've seen in a long time. The goaltending was err...sort of good. Other than that, the severe lack ...

Psychological testing?

Stars owner Tom Hicks told the Dallas Morning news that: "We will never make a free agent signing without doing psychological testing ever again as long as I'm ...

Brad Richards, the gimp?

Monday, March 23rd, 2009 Posted in Brad Richards | 2 Comments »

Brad Richards has, up until now, had a healthy career. Exceptionally healthy. (They went ahead and wrapped the rest of him up just in case ;) ) Here's his games played through last season: 00-01: 82 01-02: 82 02-03: 80 03-04: 82 05-06: 82 06-07: 82 07-08: 74 I've seen ...

3 more for the injury report

Wednesday, March 18th, 2009 Posted in post game | No Comments »

Mike Modano's missing now, as are centers Steve Begin and Brian Sutherby, who left Wednesdays game mysteriously. Add those 3 centers to Brad Richards and Toby Petersen and that's a total of 5 guys who can't win face-offs center ice-men. Update: ...

Effort-less Stars lay down for Nucks

Tuesday, March 17th, 2009 Posted in Uncategorized | No Comments »

A confident, healthy team, playing at home where they've won 9 straight versus a wounded team on their 9,456th group of line combinations, that clearly would have rather been some place else. Guess what happened? Yeah, you got it. It ...

Things are muddier than ever

Sunday, March 15th, 2009 Posted in Uncategorized | No Comments »

Another weekend comes and goes with many "big games" on the ticket every night, and the Dallas Stars, Nashville Predators, Edmonton Oilers, Minnesota Wild, Anaheim Ducks, and St Louis Blues are all left scratching their heads, wondering what it all ...

Blind squirrel finds a nut: Stars win

Friday, March 13th, 2009 Posted in Uncategorized | 3 Comments »

The Stars narrowly avoided losing 7 straight at home last night. Let that sink in. Yikes. The Hurricanes were awfully good, but Marty Turco was a little better in the third period, and he let his posts do the talking for ...

Out of gas

Just when you thought they figured it out in California, they come home and they hit the wall again. Playing their 6th game in 9 days, the Stars came out of the gate flying. They drew a lot of penalties, ...
