Brett Hull’s Hall of Fame Ceremony at the AAC

I pick on Brett Hull a lot, I admit it, but he has done a ton for the Dallas Stars organization and don’t think I don’t appreciate it.
The Stars had a tribute ceremony before the game against the St. Louis Blues Wednesday night.
I wasn’t able to see the Blues game in person, since [...]

Stars vs. Blue Jackets: I saw that one coming up Sixth Avenue.

Dallas 1, Columbus 4
I guess we all could have predicted the loss last night against the Columbus Blue Jackets.
I wouldn’t have predicted all the fights and the five-minute major plus game misconduct for James Neal, though. I was at the game, so I didn’t get to see anything up close. Therefore, I won’t argue whether [...]

Stars @ Red Wings: Win-lose-win-lose-win-lose wins out.

Dallas 3, Detroit 1
Not bad. Not bad at all. I guess the win-lose-win-lose-win-lose power is stronger than the PLEASE-NO!-NOT DETROIT! power. It was helped, of course, by the lose-to-bad-teams, beat-good-teams thing they’ve got going on, too.
The Stars looked very good the whole game. The Wings had trouble getting past them into the [...]

Stars @ Coyotes: Consistency is only a virtue if you’re not a screw-up.

Dallas 2, Phoenix 3
They keep saying they’re looking for consistency, but as Ryan Lambert, the Puck Daddy What We Learned guy, points out, win lose win lose win lose win lose is consistent. They need to start winning games when it’s their turn to lose one.
I’m almost expecting them to win against [...]

I’m not going to call it a roller-coaster yet.

It’s more like that stretch of I-635 between I-35E and the airport. Just kind of wavy.
After that nice win against Vancouver, we lost to the Minnesota Wild after giving up two goals to them in the first, the battling back, only to give up a third. Then Minnesota hung on to win.
Then we went [...]

Confused by NHL suspensions?

Down Goes Brown can help.
My favorite part:
No, he does this all the time but since we never suspend him we just keep saying he has no prior record and hope nobody notices.
That’s my biggest pet peeve.
Thanks to Puck Daddy for the link (although I was headed there anyway because DGB is genius).

Stars vs. Canucks: Much better

Dallas 2, Vancouver 1
That was much better. The Stars really do seem to dominate the play for long stretches and they had 47 shots on goal so they should have won. This time they did.
I saw this game in person, in my quasi-season-ticket-holder seat next to Myra and family. It’s so [...]

Stars vs. Flames: The Crusher.

Dallas 2, Flames 3 (OT) 11/04/09
That would be what I call crushing. A crushing loss.
It’s depressing when they lose like that. It’s infuriating when they suck, but it’s downright depressing when they play a great game, finally break through the goalie that’s playing out of his mind, get 40 shots, then give up a tying [...]
