Tonight as I type this the NHL Awards show is happening in Las Vegas. The Dallas Stars were represented by Brad Richards, but he finished second for the Lady Byng. Sucks that he did not win it but he still had a great year and finished second to former teammate Martin St. Louis. Duncan Keith takes home the Norris for top defenseman and former Stars coach Dave Tippett wins Coach of the Year…so we let him go why? Dang it!
Okay, so as I have mentioned a couple of times this is the week of the NHL draft. The full Fansided [...]

If you have not heard by now, Brad Richards was named one of the finalists for the Lady Byng Memorial Trophy last week. Richards is a former winner, 03-04 with Tampa Bay, and also a one time runner-up in 2006. For those who are not familiar with the trophy, it goes to the player shows the ”best type of sportsmanship and gentlemanly conduct combined with a high standard of playing ability.” To the best of my knowledge, that sounds it exactly like Brad and how he played this season. He ended up with 67 assists and 91 points. That is good [...]

Sorry for the delay everyone, it has been a busy week and then also we had server issues off and on last night and the first half of today. For those that have followed Blackoutdallas recently or have read the writings about winning the jersey contest, thank you for your thoughts and questions about what has happened.
Quick refresher on the story: I was one of the lucky fans chosen to get to meet a player and get the jersey off that player’s back right after the end of the home finale for the season. I was paired at the last [...]

Stars 5, Senators 4
Yet again, the Dallas Stars defense has an ugly effort at times. But this proved to be one of the times where they got a hold of another team with somewhat sloppy defense themselves, and down the Ottawa Senators 5-4. The Stars suffered from lapses of focus and judgment in their own zone, and looked like the lesser team early in the 2nd when the Sens took a 3-2 lead on Jason Spezza’s 2nd goal of the afternoon. But Dallas stayed in the game, and Brad Richards added his 2nd of the game to make it 3-3 [...]

Not what I had hope to be discussing with a couple of weeks left in the season, but the Dallas Stars are about done. They start off the 6-game streak of home game by dropping games to the Kings and Avalanche and only pick up one point. They looked good at times in both games, but like a lot of other times this year, they could not put the whole package together and get a win in two games they had a chance to. Not how you want to make a push for the playoffs at all. The players and [...]

Stars 4, Wild 3

Fun game to be at last night. Dallas Stars go up 4-0 before having to hold off the Minnesota Wild to win 4-3 last night at the AAC. For those of you who don’t know or have not read my introduction in my first post, I had season tickets for the last 2 years and plan on having them again next year. But this season I was not able to, and last night marked my first game of the season.  Here is our view last night:
Star got out early and were attempting to be physical from the [...]
