The lovely people at Hugging Harold Reynolds sent me an email with the link to their post , which included the following picture.
Our own little Princess hard at work…well, appearing to be hard at work. It’s nice to see he keeps such a nice work station, oui? I also believe that horrendous outfit is the same one he wore for his presentation to the media, that God awful ...

So, last season felt kinda sad for me. I had been a member of a Yahoo! fantasy hockey league for 2 years, and beat a group of boys each year. Last season, I wasn’t invited back. Could be that I might’ve rubbed it in a bit that they had been beaten by a girl and they didn’t take that too well. This year, I will not miss out on the Fantasy World!
So, The Shootout will ...

Most of us have known how important Robi is to our team for a while, but this was the year everyone found out. When Zubov and Boucher were out injured, Robi had to take the role as the lone veteran defenseman. And boy did he wear that title well.
He put up record numbers this season, including taking part in some pretty damn important goals (IE: assisted on the 4OT game winner to end the ...

Yes, another off-season post. Because I can.
I saw a movie about pants Tuesday night (hee pants). It was a big disappointing after the first movie, considering they tried to fit 3 books into 90 minutes. Did not work too well Sisterhood people.
I did get some fun though, I finished reading the new Georgia Nicolson book and it was fabbity fab fab. What is not fabbity fab fab? Having ...

So, yesterday they held the press conference presenting our newest player. (Yes, presenting like a princess). You can watch it here . I will warn you, I tried to watch it all and got about 5 minutes in and had to stop.
Up at my office we have 4 TV’s, one on each major station in the city (4, 5, 8 and 11). And every channel at some point showed the stupid press conference. Then ...

The Fort Worth Star Telegram is running a poll to find out who the MVP of the Dallas-Fort Worth sports scene is.
They have Modano facing off against Dirk from the Mavs. We all know who should take this one, so make sure you go vote . (For Modano, obviously)

Only 50 more days until the first preseason game. And that first game can not come soon enough, while I enjoy the unhealthy air here in Dallas with our orange air pollution day. It is not fun.
At least the last 4 days were spent constructively; if by constructively you mean making a dick in a box, reading and getting drunk.
Yes, that is what my last week has consisted of. Last Tuesday ...

It was only a matter of time before that record would be broken by Mikey Mo, and on November 7, 2008 when the Stars were playing the Sharks, it happened. Mike Modano scored 2 goals to make him the highest scoring U.S. born hockey player, overtaking Phil Housley’s record.
Then, on November 21, 2008, the Stars held Mike Modano tribute night; honoring his accomplishment. It was ...

What is there to say about Mikey Mo that probably hasn’t already been said a thousand times? I mean, come on, he is the greatest American born hockey player ever!
Not only is he a fantastic player, but he is a classy player as well. You won’t find any cheap shots from him! He is also a classy person and such a nice person. He even has his own foundation !
And let’s ...

The Stars team managed to come up with some great intros this season, definitely the best yet. But when it came to the playoffs, they completely outdid themselves, including smoke and fire as part of the experience.
This is a plain video of what the playoff video looked like:
And this is a video a fan took, so you can get the whole idea of just how amazing it was:

While bored and searching YouTube for Stars videos I haven’t seen, I came across this gem. It’s a video highlighting last season’s playoff run, though I only saw footage from the Ducks and Sharks games (which is fine with me). The music and editing are fantastic.

Wow, can you believe it’s already been 49 days since the Stanley Cup has been awarded to that team that will remain nameless? I do hope all of you are getting along without hockey. I’ve managed to keep my life pretty full.
I went to development camp, which was a blast to see a bit of hockey again. I keep going to the movies, I saw The Dark Knight Friday. Everyone should go ...

Oh Fishsticks, I can’t believe I’ve waited so long to put him on this list. His first game with the Stars (and in the NHL ever) was December 23rd against the Canadiens, and even then he impressed me. He continued to impress through the playoffs. He is a tough defensemen, and despite being rookie was able to keep up with our veterens, especially in the playoffs.
Not only is ...
