So, what do you think of the Cowboys?

Every Thursday afternoon around 2pm, BaD Radio talks to Brenden Morrow for a few minutes (it’s pretty much the extent of hockey talk in this town). If you’re living outside the Metroplex, you can listen online at theticket.com. As proof that The Ticket is just humoring the Stars, they spent most of the time asking Brenden [...]

Stars @ Devils 11/28/07

Dallas 2, New Jersey 4
As I predicted, I’m all panicky now because they lost. I know it’s only one game out of nine that they didn’t get a point in. I should still be happy, right? It makes me really nervous. I wish they’d just win the dang Stanley Cup and get it over with [...]

Stars @ Islanders 11/26/07

Dallas 3, New York (Islanders) 2 (OT) 
Another good game where they started out scary, then got better. The first period made me think to myself: This might be the one we lose. But I wasn’t convinced, because even when they’re passing directly to the opposition or being “patient” until a defender comes and takes the [...]

Stars @ Rangers 11/25/07

Dallas 3, New York (Rangers) 2
They did it again!  They won!  I don’t think the Stars had a five-game win streak all of last season.  Now they have one and it is entirely possible that it continues.  I’m not predicting it, though, because it’ll just jinx them.
The Stars started out with some turnovers and some [...]

Onion Sports.

Onion Sports has a nice writeup about about Modano.  Being mentioned by The Onion is a big feather in Mo’s cap.
According to the Onion, here are Mike Modano’s strengths and weaknesses.
Note: As part of my therapy, I’m posting it despite the glaring typo in the graphic.

It’s hard not to love the guy.

Mike Modano Tribute Night was on Wednesday night and it was a lovely ceremony. As usual, the Dallas Stars organization did a fine job.
When Mike’s parents were introduced, and as he was hugging them, he broke down into tears.  It was so sweet and so moving.   I still get misty just thinking about it, days later.
Modano, [...]

I like playing the Kings.

And not for the reasons you might think. Sure, last season we did pretty well against them, but this season we’re having a little trouble.
No, the reason I look forward to the games is because RudyKelly over at Battle of California always has a hilarious pre-game post.
He cracks me up every time. You know, now [...]

Red breezers look bad.

I have an observation about NHL uniforms.  Anybody interested?  Good.

Thank goodness the Stars don’t wear red hockey pants.  I think red pants should be banned!  I was watching the Wings/Jackets game and their pants all looked awful.  The sweat just makes them look disgusting.  They have that big seam up the back that is a different [...]

Avalanche @ Stars 11/16/07

Dallas 6, Colorado 1
I’d like to direct everybody to my first post where I explain how I’m lazy and lack dedication to anything.
So even though Friday night’s game against the Avalanche(s?) was one of the best I’ve seen in a long time, I still haven’t posted anything about it. Part of the problem is that [...]

Army was on BaD Radio.

Andrew’s Dallas Stars page has a link to Army’s interview with BaD Radio today.
I listened to it on the radio and it was very interesting. I really like Doug Armstrong and I’m sorry to see him go. Now that a couple of days have passed, I’m not quite as upset as I was, but I [...]
