Dunno who showed up from San Jose but the team that played against Dallas for the first two periods did not look like a team who leads the league in points.
Little Bit of This:
Only one goal was scored, at 7:55 in the third period by Devin Setoguchi. The Stars weren’t able to score in [...]

Petersen Out, Stephan Back
The Stars announced this morning that Toby Petersen’s lower body injury is a broken bone in his foot, and he will be out for at least a month. Fantastic! Have you seen our roster lately? Four forwards on IR. If there’s ever been a season for rookies and call-ups to show what they’re worth, it’s [...]

Record: 29-23-7. L10: 5-5-0.

Happy Birthday, Raymond Sawada!
A very happy birthday to Raymond Sawada, whose is celebrating his 24th by being recalled from the Manitoba Moose (AHL). In the meantime, Chris Conner has been reassigned to the Peoria Rivermen (AHL).
I think this is a decision based purely on size. Sawada has it, Conner doesn’t. I remember liking Sawada in training camp. He’s [...]
