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...

Penguins: Who Stays And Who Goes
Posted on 14 May 2011 by Michael Waterloo.
Earlier in the week, former Pittsburgh Penguin Jaromir Jagr said that he had the best years of his career while playing in Pittsburgh. With the media the way it is, it of course stirred up a conversation about a possible return to the ‘Burgh for Jagr. While those rumors have slowed down over the past few days, the talks about which free agents the Pens need to retain are heating up. ...

Penguins: Pen’s Playoff Preview
Posted on 12 Apr 2011 by Michael Waterloo.
With all of the injuries that the Penguins have faced this year, not many people would have guessed a few months ago that they would even make the playoffs, let alone be seeded highly enough to have home-ice advantage in the first round. That is exactly the place the Pens find themselves in, as they get ready to square off against the Tampa Bay Lightning in the first round of the 2011 Stanley...

Penguins: Is The Current Team Easier To Root For?
Posted on 26 Mar 2011 by Michael Waterloo.
As an American society, in all facets of life, we seem to always want a feel-good story. The American Dream of course, is to come from nothing to something, and to make a name for oneself. This is especially true when it comes to sports. Many examples have even turned into movies, including “Radio”, “The Miracle On Ice”, “Secretariat”, and “Rudy...

Penguins: C-ya Goligoski, Hello Neal and Niskanen
Posted on 21 Feb 2011 by Michael Waterloo.
With the trading deadline coming closer and closer each day, there was debate as to whether or not Penguins general manager Ray Shero would make a move. On Monday, the debate came to an end as the Penguins shipped off young defenseman Alex Goligoski to the Dallas Stars for 23 year-old winger James Neal and 24 year-old defenseman Matt Niskanen. Many thought that Shero would hold off on mak...

THE DEAL IS REAL: STARS TRADE NEAL
Posted on 21 Feb 2011 by Travis Currie.
As mentioned in my previous entry, James Neal and Matt Niskanen were involved in trade talks. And now they're officially on their way out of town. Joe Nieuwendyk pulled the trigger today and sent the two to Pittsburgh for defenseman Alex Goligoski. The business side of things aside, the Stars dealt a young power forward with the potential to be a 35-40 goal scorer. He's helped form a dynamic ...

ARE BLUES FANS HAVING FLASHBACKS ALREADY?
Posted on 17 Oct 2010 by Dave Frederick.
A former NHL head coach whose last name is that of a famous street in Hollywood once told me you can't make the playoffs in October and November, but you sure can miss them. I love that statement because if you really think about the meaning, it is so true. Last season, the Blues won their first two games but then proceeded to drop the next three and 15 out of their next 19 contests. Th...

Keep Your Heads Up Stars Fans ( Part 2 )
Posted on 8 Sep 2010 by Travis Currie.
If you're skeptical about wether the Stars can return to the playoffs this coming season, you would be part of the majority. I can only imagine the prognosticators predictions over the next few weeks. There will likely be plenty who place the Stars in that 15th position in the West. Also known as dead last. Normally I would argue anybody seeding them out of the playoffs. But this year will b...

Posted on 31 Jul 2010 by Corey Krakower.
It’s the dog days of summer for the NHL. The draft has passed, free agency is slow and there haven’t been many blockbuster trades. That, however, doesn’t mean that GMs aren’t talking. Many players’ names have become commonplace in the rumor mill, and it’s only a matter of time before we see some action. Here are 10 trades I have worked on; all of which I feel can benefit both teams ...

08/09 The Year of The Bug
Posted on 15 Apr 2009 by Sandy Gemmiti.
Well Stars fans I hate to say I told you so but with Marty Turco behind the pipes the Stars failed the test of time and missed the playoffs this season. Sure the Stars played some very solid hockey during parts of the 2008/08 season but this season will forever be the season of the injury bug and the fall of the once wonderful Marty Turco. Injuries are the main reason this team will sit at hom...
