Game Review – 12/23/08 (DAL at TOR)

31Dec08

Game:
Both the Leafs and the Stars had seen improvement in the recent stretch of games, and despite goaltender struggles, and both looked to continue building that success.
Playing in Toronto was a bit of a homecoming for a handful of Stars players. Trevor Daley grew up there. James Neal hails from nearby Whitby and Krys Barch [...]

Matt Niskanen Is A Good Sport

29Dec08

First of all, I’d like to apologize for the lack of updates. We’re doing our best to keep up, but it’s been a crazy few weeks in the SHR world. I worked every day in the week leading up to Christmas Eve, then there were the holidays, and then the 26th was Chelsea’s birthday. We [...]

Brunnstrom Injured

28Dec08

Swedish rookie Fabian Brunnstrom appears to have been injured late in last night’s game against the Ducks.
Fabian Brunnstrom was hobbling around today with a protective boot on his foot, and coach Dave Tippett listed him as day to day with a lower body injury.
He sat out much of the third period Saturday, so he was [...]

Game Review – 12/20/08 (DAL at OTT)

27Dec08

Game: 
Joel Lundqvist and Nicklas Grossman did not play. Lundqvist’s shoulder was sore from the CBJ game, and Grossman was out with the flu.
Scoring opened at 1:27 in the first, when Senators captain Daniel Alfredsson scored with a snap shot with assists from Ilja Zubov and Filip Kuba. 
Despite three penalties (Krys Barch at 3:23 for boarding, [...]

Game Review – 12/18/08 (DAL vs CBJ)

27Dec08

Game:
I promise, eventually, these will be published in a more timely manner. Perhaps in the post-holiday calm?
This game saw the return of three sorely missed Stars: forwards Joel Lundqvist, Steve Ott, and defenseman Stephane Robidas. Ott had a brace on under his glove to protect his broken hand and couldn’t fight, while Robidas had that [...]
