Stars vs. Blackhawks 02/28/08

Dallas 7, Chicago 4
What a game, what a game, what a game!  I got chills. Brad Richards got FIVE ASSISTS. He got five assists in HIS FIRST GAME AS A STAR! Sure, I was skeptical before trade day, but even the most gung-ho Brad Richards supporter couldn’t have predicted that.
He looked like a kid with [...]

Okay, I’ll think about it.

I may have been a little tired and a little tense on the eve of Trade Deadline Day when I railed against the idea of trading for Brad Richards.
I was a little upset, I admit it. I felt that a trade would upset chemistry and I wasn’t ready to give up Mike Smith yet. (Also, [...]

Bouche is back!

Philippe Boucher is back in the lineup tonight against the Blues!  I’m so EXCITED!
I thought he wouldn’t be back until Thursday, but apparently Nik Grossman was injured slightly in practice so he’ll be in a game sooner.
Today has been a very tense day while I waited to see who would be traded and worried and fretted [...]

Bad, bad idea.

Yahoo is reporting that the Stars have traded for Brad Richards from Tampa Bay. The claim is that they’re trading goalie Mike Smith, defensive forward Jeff Halpern, and rookie defenseman Mark Fistric.  All players I don’t think we can spare.
Who’s going to back up Marty now, when we head into the playoffs?  An AHL goalie [...]

My name in lights.

Just for fun, you might check out Slap Shot, the New York Times’ hockey blog.
They have started a little series where they have bloggers from around the blogosphere answer questions about their teams and they post them on the New York Times website.
Little ol’ Penalty Killing was invited to represent the Dallas Stars, if you [...]

Respect what we have.

Tracy Meyers, of the Ft. Worth Star-Telegram mentions Les Jackson’s thoughts on trades, and whether Zubov’s surgery will affect their plans.
The rumor that seems to be picking up a little is that the Stars have put an offer on the table for Tampa Bay’s Brad Richards, he of the $7.8 million contract for three more [...]

Boucher has been activated!

Philippe Boucher has been activated from the IR today! Mark, over at Andrews Stars Page says that the plan is that he will travel with the team to St. Louis, but probably won’t play until Thursday at home against Chicago.
I really don’t think I’m going to be able to make it through today and tomorrow. [...]

Tradewinds.

Sergey Zubov has given in and has had surgery on his broken foot. It appears they were hoping they could wait it out and let it heal but it’s not moving along like it should.
This will keep Zubie on the IR for another three to four weeks, hopefully to return in time to get in a [...]

Stars at Predators 02/23/08

Dallas 6, Nashville 3
To start the game, Jordan Tootoo sucker-punches Trevor Daley. What a jerk. He gets 4 minutes for roughing and Daley gets 2 minutes for defending himself. Tootoo is a punk.
The Nashville fans love him, though. And they booed Modano the whole time. They hate him for, um, setting American scoring records? Standing [...]

Stars vs. Flames 02/20/08

Dallas 2, Calgary 3
I don’t know what to think about the Flames game. It seemed to be going well, but as is their wont, Dallas gave up the first goal AGAIN. Why do they do that? I can’t decide if the fact that they win most of those games is a good thing or not. [...]
