Don't Blame Joe .

First off I need to apologize for not blogging more , but I have had rotator cuff surgery and that set me back a bit . Obviously , Our Dallas Stars have decided against offering a contract to Mike Modano . Many people out there are placing the blame for...

If This Is It ..............

Before I get any further , I need to thank my wife for going with me to the last home game of the season . She has had TAKS testing going on all week in her school district . We arrived home very late – and we knew we would – but she sacrificed...

Letter To Jere Lehtinen

I delivered this letter to Mr. Lehtinen before a practice in Frisco as well . This is a little more personal to me than the one I composed to Mr. Modano (for reasons you will understand when you read it) . I again tried to keep it as short as possible...

Letter to Mike Modano

I hand-delivered this note to Mr. Modano before a practice in Frisco . I have chosen to share this with you because I think we all should have let Mr. Modano know how much he means to us all . I intended this to be as short as possible while still conveying...

Down And Out

The game against the Chicago Chickenhawks reminded me of the rest of our season . Here is how ; Goaltending In the game - Poor Matt Climie . The Chickenhawks have out-shot all their opponents by large margins . He played as good as he could but he was...

Weird Game , Positive Results

I do not think I have ever seen a game in which nine goals were all scored into the same visiting net but in different periods . I guess the home net had the hockey gods' protection . I still think it was just weird . This game was like three different...

No April Fools At Stars' Practice

I finally made it out to a practice after trying to make it out there two other times . Of the other two times , one was cancelled and the other one the players were actually flying back into the state during the scheduled practice time . Sounds like...

Shark For Dinner Again ? I Hate Leftovers .

Coming into this game , we knew that if we lost this game , we would be mathematically eliminated from the playoffs . We played like we did not want to be counted out just yet . You have no idea of how proud that makes me - even when deep down , I do...

Stars Fall Flat In Anaheim

I really do not know how I could possibly point out any bright points in this atrocious loss to the Ducks . Oh , wait , here it is ; Lehtonen , Lehtinen and Richards played great . That pretty much covers the good points of this game besides Loui Eriksson's...

Stars Out-Work Kings In 4-1 Win

I am very happy with the win in Los Angeles . I am always happy when we win but how we won was the most important part . We out-worked the Kings and out-played them all over the ice . I must admit that we did not seem to get off to what I would say was...

Shutout ?

Really ? What happened ? Did we not just beat the San Jose Guppies by a score of eight to two ? Did we change rosters between then and now ? We started the first period of this game fairly well . The Sharks suffered from an immense amount of turnovers...

Starting A Road Trip Right

We started this road trip right with a win in Trashville last night . I hate to lose to them any time . Trashville has remained one of my most hated teams and probably will do so for many years to come (for an explanation please see my “Heroes And Villains” page) . I know we have a [...]

The End Of An Era ?

The end of our regular season is nearly upon us . Knowing that , it makes me very sad . Make no mistake , I am not sad because of the end of the season is here (well kind of) , but because of the termination of many contracts of some of our long-time Dallas Stars players . Ordinarily [...]

Another Shootout Loss

It was the weekend , so we had to play the Phoenix Coyotes . Shamefully , we lost in the shootout (again) . The reasons we failed to pull two points out of this are relatively easy to spot . 1) Poor defensive coverage . We tend to stand to defend more than move our feet (or [...]

A Win Is A Win

It may not have been our prettiest game of the season , but we got the two points . The two points are the important part . Funny that earlier in the season we played prettier games and only came out with one point (or less). I am glad we won even though , at this point , some [...]
