ED BELFOUR NIGHT IN DALLAS
Posted on 4 Feb 2012 by Travis Currie.
If ever there was a goaltender that personified the stereotype that goalies are a different breed:moody, superstitious, and routine oriented, it would be Ed Belfour. His quirks, combined with his undying work ethic and passion to succeed, made him a Stanley Cup champion and one of the game's greats – and recently a member of the Hockey Hall Of Fame. While other goaltenders his age were be...

STARS LOCK UP GOLIGOSKI
Posted on 23 Jan 2012 by Travis Currie.
They acquired him in what was probably the biggest deal on deadline day last year, and now they've given him a contract extension worth $18.4 million over the next four years – that works out to $4.6 million per, just to save you the math. The 26 year old Minnesota native has struggled to show the same form he showed when he came over from Pittsburgh last year, notching five goals and 15 ...

STARS FORCED TO GO WITHOUT STARS
Posted on 17 Jan 2012 by Travis Currie.
On a normal night, you want to have your star players out play the other team's star players. Things are a little different right now for the Stars as Mike Ribeiro is on the IR for what appears to be another couple weeks after suffering a tear to his MCL against Edmonton on January 7, and now Jamie Benn is out for a couple weeks after having an appendectomy Sunday. Without your big guns, your e...

STARS IN NEED OF A HOT STREAK
Posted on 6 Jan 2012 by Travis Currie.
Unlike 15-20 years ago, playing .500 hockey just doesn't cut it in the NHL. The win-one-lose-one pattern the Stars have been in for a while now has slowly worked them out of a playoff position. The Stars sat atop the entire league heading in to a game vs the Penguins back on November the 11th, and since then have won just 11 of 24 games. They currently sit in 9th place in the West, even after T...

LEHTONEN TO CAMPBELL: BIG WEEK FOR STARS GOALIES
Posted on 1 Jan 2012 by Travis Currie.
An injury to Kari Lehtonen lead to a sort of musical chairs for Stars goalies, and the man standing without a spot in the lineup when the music stopped is Andrew Raycroft. Young Richard Bachman was brought up from Texas to backup Raycroft, but after Raycroft struggled in back to back games Bachman was given his shot. He went on to win three in a row on the road, including a 1-0 shutout in New Y...

BACHMAN LEADS THE ROAD CHARGE
Posted on 16 Dec 2011 by Travis Currie.
Whoever thought that Richard Bachman would be brought up from Texas to win three in a row for the Stars so far and put up a .970 SV% with a 0.90 GAA, stand up. Okay now sit down because you're a liar. When Kari Lehtonen was injured in a 3-0 loss to the Coyotes on November 26, the load fell on backup Andrew Raycroft's shoulders and farm hand Richard Bachman took over Raycroft's spot on the bench...

FISTRIC WRONGLY ACCUSED;BARCH DEALT TO FLORIDA
Posted on 9 Dec 2011 by Travis Currie.
What's a guy gotta do to become a premier hitter in the NHL ? I guess play for the Leafs or Red Wings. Okay that's a little off; I don't actually think that Brendan Shanahan has that sort of bias when it comes to his job, but it would sure look that way when you consider who gets suspended for a certain hit and who doesn't. Niklas Kronwall, who I like and is a great hitter, clearly leaves his f...

STARS BENEFIT FROM REALIGNMENT
Posted on 6 Dec 2011 by Travis Currie.
With the expansion and relocation explosion in the 1990s, the NHL abolished the old four divisions and split the teams in to six, and in the process abolished the old divisional playoff format and adopted the current 1 through 8 set up. Newer fans of the game probably never batted an eye as the difference between the two was never felt. If you're one of those fans though and you're reading this...

STARS ADDED DEPTH PAYING DIVIDENDS
Posted on 2 Dec 2011 by Travis Currie.
With Alex Goligoski still out, Adam Burish breaking his hand two weeks ago, Brenden Morrow and Kari Lehtonen recently being placed on injured reserve, the Stars are finding ways to win hockey games. The Stars lost both Alex Goligoski and Adam Burish during a five game losing streak in mid November, before defeating the Edmonton Oilers 4-1 at home on November 21st. Captain Brenden Morrow was the...

STARS NO LONGER ORPHANS
Posted on 21 Nov 2011 by Travis Currie.
The wait is over. The Dallas Stars have a new owner, which means the uncertainty this franchise and it's fanbase has gone through the past couple years has finally turned in to certainty. Vancouver businessman Tom Gaglardi can breathe a sigh of relief as well as it's been a long, dragged out process to complete the purchase. Jim Lites has also been named President and CEO of the Stars by Gagl...

OPPORTUNITY TO STEP UP
Posted on 17 Nov 2011 by Travis Currie.
The difference between good teams and bad teams is how quickly they can pull themselves out of a slump. The Stars sat atop the NHL's standings before last week's game in Pittsburgh with a giant start to the road trip, winning the first two games in Carolina and Washington in convincing fashion. All of a sudden two losses to end the road trip in Pittsburgh and Detroit and things weren't so peach...

STARS’ STARS HELD SILENT BY PENGUINS
Posted on 12 Nov 2011 by Travis Currie.
The Pittsburgh Penguins showed us exactly why they've been winning games without Sidney Crosby. From coach Dan Bylsma, to each five man unit on the ice, down to Marc Andre Fleury, they sure don't give you much room. The Stars managed just 17 shots on net all night in a 3-1 loss to the Pens in a battle of the two conference leaders in Pittsburgh last night, and the Stars' usual offensive leaders...
