Game Review – 10/29/08 (DAL vs MIN)

30Oct08

Game:
For some reason, my brain keeps mixing up “Minnesota” and “Mittens”, which led to this review almost being “DAL vs MIT”. Pretty smooth, I know.
Last night, our Dallas Stars hit the ice at 7:30 to go up against the Minnesota Wild, a team who entered the match with a freaky 24/24 PK and a 6-0-1 [...]

Quick Note: Avery Chooses Gosling

30Oct08

According to Yahoo Sports, Sean Avery has chosen Ryan Gosling to play him in the movie of Avery’s time at Vogue. Can I just say that I will see that movie for Gosling alone? Good choice on Sean’s part.

Rookie Impact

28Oct08

Had a little free time, decided to do the math and see where we’d be without the points and assists our amazing trio of rookies provided for us. Granted, this is assuming nobody else would have stepped up in lieu of the rookies.
Game 1’s 4-5 OTL:
Without James Neal’s goal: 4-3 regulation loss.
Game 2’s 1-3 L:
No impact
Game 3’s [...]

Mr. Monday: Brenden Morrow

27Oct08

Best known as our captain, Brenden Morrow’s rise through our SHR +/- came largely from points he earned off ice. Not to be mistaken, though, he’s also only 2 on ice points behind Robidas and Modano (tied for first). Combined, he’s at 42 points, second only to Robidas (who will not be Mr. Monday yet, [...]
