Steve Ott: Arm pump Those crazy Dallas Stars start their playoff season tonight against those Anaheim Ducks. Note: The Stars haven't eked out of the first round of the playoffs since 2003. They're due. Something's got to give. There's just too many careers riding on this playoff series. The Stars go down and Dave Tippett is probably out , Marty Turco becomes trade bait and the older ...

Ducks Gameday—Stars Logo: Separated at Birth?

Posted 4/10/2008 on The Battle of California

Round One, Game One: (5) Dallas Stars at (4) Anaheim Ducks (JavaGeek 'odds': DAL 53% ) Ah, good ol' Game 83, time to break out some playoff traditions. Last year I started a gimmick each series where I played "Separated at Birth?" comparisons with opponent team logos. It wasn't by any means a very serious exercise, but it worked out well enough to give it another go this year. Here is last ...

Go Stars, Please!

Posted 4/10/2008 on Bob's Blog - Live from Lewisville

It starts tonight, and my nerves are beginning to kick in. I like the Stars chances to make this a rumble. Honestly, though, I wouldn’t bet on them advancing if I am forced to choose. I think they would be underdogs to Anaheim even if they had home ice. They don’t have home ice, and they don’t have playoff confidence. They have a horrendous record in overtime playoff games, and they have lost ...

Scattered playoff thoughts: Gary Roberts, brisket and the evil that is Mike Keenan

Posted 4/10/2008 on The Battle of California

It's been a while since I've thrown some Stars perspective in here. I'd like to call my absence "GaryRobertsian"* but I imagine some would just say that I've had a " Brad Richards after the 5 assist game" type drought. Well, no matter, because I have a few thoughts today and I'll have more this weekend. The reason for that is that I'll finally join the modern era and acquire an ...

Stars Have Work To Do

Posted 4/7/2008 on KK Hockey

from Jennifer Floyd-Engel of the Star-Telegram, That crushing Game 6 loss to the No. 7-seeded Anaheim Ducks in 2003 capped a demoralizing conference semifinal series loss and arguably began what amounts to a near death spiral in Dallas Stars hockey. They have not gotten out of the first round since 2003. Nor does anybody other than themselves expect them to when this playoff go-round ...

BoC Gameday—Bedtime!

Posted 4/5/2008 on The Battle of California

Anaheim Ducks (45-27-8, 3rd in west) at Los Angeles Kings (32-42-7, 15th in west) I'm pretty excited, because yesterday I finally got my new laptop from my new job, and it's pretty slick. I haven't yet hooked it up to the scanner nor have I uploaded all my old spreadsheets, but I guess there's no rush so long as last year's cartoons keep applying again this year. From the archives :  ...
