Stars at Sharks 03/27/08

Dallas 2, San Jose 3 (OT)
I just have two things to say:
1. Marty Turco has lost it.
2. I told you so.

Inside the Stars NHL.

As I have mentioned before, I watch a fun show on HDNet called Inside the NHL, where the annoying Dan Moriarty interviews lots of players and they show highlights and features and such. I like to complain about the MSM ignoring the Dallas Stars all the time, but the last three or four episodes of [...]

Happy Birthday, Boo Boo!

Happy Birthday, Bouche!
I know it’s tough being hurt on your birthday, and things are not going that well on the ice right now. But it’s all going to be okay when you come back.
We need you out there blocking shots and knocking people down and scoring on the powerplay and backing up the kids and [...]

Stars vs. Kings 03/22/08

Dallas 2, Los Angeles 4
I’m not going to stop saying I told you so about the trade. That trade is like the road spikes that cops throw in front of fleeing cars. It has brought us to a sudden, screeching halt.
Turco is fishtailing. Their confidence with a lead is totally gone. They are actually better [...]

The Cavalry is saddling its horses.

Things are looking up on the injury front.
Sergei Zubov skated before practice on Thursday, then today he skated in full gear. I just can’t tell you how excited I am at the prospect of Zubie coming back to the ice.
According to Heika, Zubie’s just as excited about it as I am. He skated in sweats [...]

Brenden Morrow said it best.

In Mike Heika’s post-game article, Brenden sums it up.
“I don’t take any positives out of this – I’m way past that right now,” Morrow said. “We made it close, but close isn’t going to get you very far.”

Stars vs. Ducks 03/19/08

Dallas 1, Anaheim 2
You know? I don’t even want to talk about it.
It was a perfectly normal game. The Stars played pretty well, and even got a shorthanded goal. Then they lost. In the last 30 seconds of the game.
The officiating was atrocious. They gave Brenden Morrow a penalty in the last minute of the [...]

I just want to tell you both good luck. We’re all counting on you.

The Hockey News thinks the race to watch is right here in our own little backyard.
Caryle (sic) and Tippett may not want to say it, but we will.
Along with the NHL-leading Detroit Red Wings, we argue the three Pacific Division contenders make up the best four teams in the NHL. And one will almost surely be [...]

It just looks like chaos to me.

Actually, it’s not that bad, but I still don’t understand very well the “system” that the Dallas Stars play and how it compares to other teams. Now that I’ve been watching hockey for a few years, I can usually anticipate where a Stars player will go or what he’ll do based on the situation, but [...]

Stars vs. Canucks 03/15/08

Dallas 3, Vancouver 4
This I-love-hockey I-hate-hockey I-love-hockey I-hate-hockey roller coaster is starting to wear on me.
The Stars have won one game in March. Out of six! They lost 2 games in all of February! Out of 14!
I’m sorry about all the exclamation points, but I’m just so beside myself with panic. And yes, a little [...]
