Stars Trade for Hutchinson, Lose Tukonen

30Nov08

The Stars announced today that they have traded prospect Lauri Tukonen in exchange for Tamba Bay minor league defenseman Andrew Hutchinson.

Game Review – 11/28/08 (DAL vs SJS)

29Nov08

The Good:

James Neal: The 21-year-old winger scored his fourth goal in the five games since he returned from playing with the Manitoba Moose. After outperforming some key veterans, he ought to have sealed his spot on the Stars roster.
Loui Eriksson: Netting his 11th of the season, Eriksson is now on a four-game points streak, giving [...]

Game Review – 11/26/08 (DAL at MIN)

27Nov08

Game:

The Stars were in Minnesota to face the Wild for the second time this season. The first we met, backup Tobias Stephan played and was only scored on during the Wild PP in a 4-2 Stars win. That game was a big win, as the Wild had yet to be beaten in regulation and [...]

Sidney Crosby is a Tool: SHR!’s View of the NHL

26Nov08

With the Dallas Stars slumped in a 6-10-4 hole at the bottom of the league, we at SHR! felt it was time to stop being so introspective. We’ve picked, prodded, and yelled at everyone from the players to the owner, and now it’s time to move on (at least until the next game). Team bias aside, here’s [...]

Game Review – 11/24/08 (DAL vs PHI)

25Nov08

Game:
Philadelphia Flyers vs Dallas Stars.
At 3:17, scoring opened in favor of the Flyers, whose first SOG of the night went zooming past Turco. After Nicklas Grossman got plastered in the corner, Scottie Upshall was left perfectly open in front of the net for a pass from Joffrey Lupul. Turco was in the wrong side of [...]

Game Review – 11/22/08 (DAL vs ANA)

23Nov08

No game review for the Hawks game, because the only part of that game that ended up really mattering was something that happened in the last six minutes. No need to write out just how badly it the game went.
Game:
Last night, the Stars faced the Anaheim Ducks for the second time this season and the [...]
