The Stars’ losing skid has been happening for so many games, I’ve lost track…four I think? Either way, last night was another disappointing loss to the Charlotte Checkers and two more points they can’t regain. I haven’t lost all confidence … Continue reading →

The 2011-12 season will be even harder for my Stars yet I have always supported my players’ advancement of their careers. It’s what the AHL is really all about, developing young talent for the NHL since not everybody can land … Continue reading →

I caught the gist this morning from my EPSN widget. Personally, I can live with it since the Atlantic Division remains intact in the “D” Conference so the Flyers will maintain their rivalry against Armpittsburgh and New Jersey. You could … Continue reading →

The guy was a great player but unfortunately, Mike will often be remembered as the rebuttal answer to idiots who say hockey is a Whites only sport. Alongside Georges Laraque, Jarome Ignila, Anson Carter, Donald Brashear, Maxime Fortunus, Willie O’Ree … Continue reading →

San Antonio won yesterday, giving them the two points they needed to exit the cellar while the Stars couldn’t get a break against the Aeros. I was at that game and saw all the near misses Houston goalie Matthew Hackett … Continue reading →

First we lost two experienced, consistent scorers (Rallo and Gagnon), now we’ve lost two prospective guys: Backman and Chupp. The former is really a darned shame. Sean Backman is a ‘little’ guy like Gretzky (well under six feet tall) but … Continue reading →

Last week they announced our new head coach, another guy from a decent franchise in the AHL and now we have his only assistant, a very experienced dude who spent last season getting San Antonio’s act together. It’s late so … Continue reading →

Whenever there’s a headline or mention of the surname Hanson, I think all hockey fans’ ears perk up to see if this pertains to the infamous trio from Slapshot and/or Christian Hanson, one of their sons who plays professionally. Sadly, … Continue reading →

A quick post after finally getting Enterprise to run on Netflix streaming, leave it to canceling a show to make it 100 times better (I was watching the three-parter involving Captain Archer toppling Vulcan society). Plus I tried making the … Continue reading →
