Phillipe Boucher Announces Retirement

TSN is reporting that Phillipe Boucher has announced his retirement today. Although Boo was only with the Stars for a few short seasons, I really enjoyed watching him the years he was in Dallas.
I saw two very memorable Boucher moments in person, and one of them was great while the other was actually pretty terrifying.
I [...]

One Year Ago

Today marks the one year anniversary of the firing of Doug(ass) Armstrong.
I won’t lie - I was ecstatic on November 13, 2007 when I came into my room after class to see that Tom Hicks had fired Armstrong. I called EVERYONE I knew who had the smallest bit of knowledge about the Stars to rave about [...]

10/16 Stars @ Blues

It’s hockey time again tonight!
The Stars are coming off a great victory last night, but you know they’re going to have to be pretty tired after flying into St. Louis after their 6-4 victory over Nashville yesterday. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Marty get the start tonight since he didn’t play so well last [...]

I Miss Stu(uuuu)

I’m pretty sad about Stu retiring. He became one of my favorite players as soon as he came over from Buffalo.

Goodnight 2008 Playoffs

It was a great run Stars…. too bad it couldn’t go longer.
You were amazing this season, and at the end, I am truly proud to call you my team. I won’t lie, there were moments during the regular season when I really wondered if this team would even make the playoffs, much less make it [...]

Game 2 Tonight

The Stars need to win. If they come out and play like they did Thursday, then this is going to be a short series. I know they have the ability to play the Wings competetively and make this series interesting.
Just as in the first two series, we need to stay out of the box in [...]

Dear Stars,

Please win tomorrow night. You can’t let this series get away. I’d really like to go to a playoff game and you have to get to the next round so I can do that. You have played too hard to lose this series.
Stephane Robidas, you are my hero. Thank you for playing last night after your [...]
