My Stars’ four-game winning streak came to an end yesterday in Houston but the back-up goalie has recently proven himself even to convince me that the team is in good hands. What happened Krahn the starter? No idea. Rumors abound … Continue reading →

The Stars are off to a great start this season. Expectations are certainly high after their surprising and amazing Calder Cup run. After last night’s shootout, they are 5-2-0-0; 10 points which is pretty impressive given their late start; most … Continue reading →

This past week has been rather crowded at many levels: Hockey season started officially last weekend; that will eat up time I could spend writing or doing chores. All the new Apple products along with the related good news: one … Continue reading →

Hockey season is almost here! First, all the players reported to camp yesterday. Second, I go find my DVDs of Slapshot and Miracle to get into the spirit. And now this cool time-lapse movie of the rink being prepared at … Continue reading →

My Western Conference Champs will be playing three games during the first week of October to show off the new lineup. Two will be here and they’re against our regional rivals Houston and San Antonio. Then there’s a 13-day gap … Continue reading →

Going to Dallas to see the Flyers blow a two-goal lead and end it in a tie against the Stars back in the pre-2005 days was an expensive trip; the tickets were $130 each plus $10 parking (probably $15 now … Continue reading →

Again, I know this news is old but I’ve been fighting off what I think is a sinus infection all weekend…and I’m so close to going on vacation, argh!  I decided to stagger out stuff with WP’s awesome ability to … Continue reading →

It was a shame to trade him away since he was the last member of the 2003-4 lineup which almost made it to the Cup. Believe, if that team got past Tampa Bay, they would’ve made mincemeat out of Calgary. … Continue reading →

Mostly blueliners and some signed to two-way contracts which bodes well for Dallas in my opinion. The list by the end of the week includes Trevor Ludwig (son of retired Star Craig Ludwig who is a commentator in Big D), … Continue reading →

I really, really want to know what the plan is for next season with my Austin Stars. Four more players have left for other teams. Over the weekend, Greg Stafford, Mathieu Beaudoin and Matt Climie went to Phoenix. Now we’ll … Continue reading →

Warren Peters was one of my team’s best checking forwards, usually playing alongside Francis Wathier and Scott McCullough. He had 11 games in Dallas but was probably on fourth line based upon his stats. I guess he was an unrestricted … Continue reading →
