Stars vs. Ducks 02/28/09

Dallas 3, Anaheim 4
First of all, I have to say something about Mike Ribeiro. Now, I love Ribs. I think he’s a great player and he brings a ton to the Stars. He makes his linemates better and he’s not afraid to hit or get hit and he does some wild stuff [...]

Stars vs. Blues 02/26/09

Dallas 1, St. Louis 3
Goal posts, Stars coach Dave Tippett stated Thursday night, .are not goals
Five shots hit the post in this game. That’s how it’s going right now.
For some reason, we suddenly can’t score. The last two games, the Stars have spent the majority of the game in the opponent’s zone just machine-gunning pucks [...]

Begin the Beguine. Har!

I’m sure he’s never heard that joke before. Actually, he may not have. That song is from the 30’s and he’s barely 30. Plus, it’s not funny.
I think I’m really going to like Steve Begin. In his first interview, he totally gave me a shoutout! He said he loves Penalty Killing!
Actually, his quote [...]

Could we be any more screwed?

Dallas 0, San Jose 1
Dallas 1, Chicago 3
BradG, in the comments section of Mike Heika’s post about Toby Petersen’s broken foot, explains it all:
The hockey gods called.
They said, “Even if we have to injure every single Dallas Star, you’re not making the playoffs this year.”
During the Chicago game, when the Stars were meandering around and [...]

Stars vs. Oilers 02/19/09

Dallas 4, Edmonton 2
I used to be much more observant that I seem to be lately. I didn’t even realize until I read it in Richard Durrett’s post on Heika’s blog this morning that Steve Ott was wearing an “A” on his sweater.
Ott said he came in and it was [sewn] on his jersey.
“It’s [...]

Iron man.

I found this sentence in Mike Heika’s article about Brad Richards’ injury to be pretty impressive.
In the 629 regular-season games his NHL teams have played, Richards has dressed for 619 of them.
He’s missed 10 games in his entire career up until now. Poor guy probably has no idea what he’s going to do [...]

Stars at Blue Jackets 02/16/09

Dallas 3, Columbus 2 (SO)
I’m getting to be continuing to be a slacker when it comes to recaps. You can’t accuse me of just avoiding the losses, though. I’ve skipped a few great wins, too. That’s how lazy I am.
The Columbus game last night was pretty exciting. Marty stopped 41 shots to keep us [...]

Boucher has been hurt. In more ways than one.

ouche had surgery on his foot the other day, seemingly out of the blue.
I’ve been infuriated with the Pittsburgh Penguins for weeks now, because Bouche has been a “healthy” scratch.
I was planning to make the Pens my secondary team but they have not treated Bouche very well. I was also happy, at first, to [...]

Robi was on The Ticket today.

I meant to mention that the great Andrew’s Stars Page has posted the audio from Stéphane Robidas’ visit to The Ticket today.
I just love listening to Robi talk. He has the most adorable accent, and it’s fun listening to him talk about his early years and Quebec and his kids. He’s just so sweet. I [...]

Programming note.

The wonderful NHL Network has a show called, Captains Driven (or Captains Driven by Bridgestone, depending where you see it). It’s usually kind of dull if it’s somebody you don’t know, but on Thursday the 19th, it will be about our beloved Brenden Morrow.
Set your TiVos if you have the NHL Network. And a [...]
