I'm running errands this week and catching up on a lot of things, so I didn't feel like I could have an ongoing chat about Olympic games. But that doesn't mean we can't have an Olympic discussion thread. You guys get to steer the discussion in this one, and I'll probably just bump this thread up every day during pool play. Here is the schedule. Wow, what a great day (and late night) of Olympic...
First of all, Brandon Worley over at Defending Big D does an incredible job of scouting and breaking down the game of new goalie Kari Lehtonen. It will be very interesting for fans to try to go through this transition into a new era, as Lehtonen is completely different than Marty Turco in his approach to the game. Next, Mark Stepneski at Andrew's Dallas Stars Page has his weekly prospect update. Scott Glennie is the... February 16, 2010
I talked to Stars GM Joe Nieuwendyk briefly, and he reiterated that he would prefer to not have three goalies here past the March 3 trade deadline. But even he doesn't know how all of this will shake out. He has to be open to considering a trade for Marty Turco. Trade acquisition Kari Lehtonen will be here, has had five games in the minors for conditioning and will have six days to get ready... February 15, 2010
The NHL named Stars goalie Marty Turco as third star of the week. He went 2-0-1 with a 1.30 GAA and .965 save percentage. Wow, tough week if he only got the third star. Here's the press release:...
Nice update on the Texas Stars on Defending Big D, where they point out that former Stars prospect Ivan Vishnevskiy (after being part of the Kari Lehtonen trade) was assigned by Atlanta to their AHL affiliate (the Chicago Wolves) and the Wolves were in Cedar Park for two games last weekend. Vishnevskiy was paired with Chris Chelios and went plus-6 in the two games (a 4-1 win and a 5-2 win for Chicago). Here's the...

If you have Presidents' Day off and you're in the Allen area, stop by the Allen Events Center for a 1 p.m. game between the Americans and the Brahmas. The two teams met in North Richland Hills on Saturday, and the Brahmas took a 4-1 win in a very physical game. The emotion should be dialed up in this one. Here is the Allen Americans site. He is the Texas Brahmas site....
He's there so he can play during the Olympic Break, but he also could stay down if Steve Ott (appendectomy) and Mark Fistric (arthroscopic knee surgery) are ready to return after the Olympic Break. Here's the press release: Frisco, Tex. -- The Dallas Stars announced today that the NHL club has assigned left wing Francis Wathier to the Texas Stars - Dallas' primary development affiliate in the American Hockey League (AHL). Wathier, 25, was recalled... February 13, 2010
The Dallas Stars are officialy in ninth place according to the NHL standings. They were briefly in eighth place, but Calgary leap-frogged them with a 3-1 win over Anaheim. It appears that's where Dallas will stay for the length of the Olympic Break, despite some games on Sunday. The Stars and Detroit Red Wings have identical records right now. The first tiebreaker is wins, and the Stars have actually climbed up to where they are...
Marty Turco is on fire right now. He's seeing the puck well, he's in the right place, and he's getting lucky at times. He did all three things Saturday in a 3-0 win over the Phoenix Coyotes. He had 40 saves to get his 40th career shutout. ``He responds to being pushed very well, and that's great for us,'' coach Marc Crawford said. ``He made a great save in the first period, and those are...
Phoenix Coyotes coach Dave Tippett was not happy with the referee's decision to not call a penalty on James Neal for his hit on Petr Prucha. Here is the Youtube video of the play. Tippett said it was a clear shot to the head. ``Whether it's James Neal or whoever it is, all I've heard about from the league for months is we're bearing down on head shots. That's a clear head shot,'' Tippett said....
HEY GUYS, I'm Bumping this up from earlier (Mike). Allen Americans owner Doug Miller's name keeps coming up as I try to find out who is interested in buying the Stars. Several people offer ``no comment'' when I ask about Miller, and Miller just told me on the phone that he also has no comment on the subject. But Miller makes sense. He was interested when Tom Hicks put the team up for sale a...
They get five points out of a huge three-game road trip before the Olympic Break. So how do you feel about this team's playoff chances now?...
Great play by both. Segal won a puck battle along the board and fed Petersen in the slot for his seventh goal of the season....
Marc Crawford has the Morrow-Ribeiro-Benn line back together, and Benn makes two great plays. Benn gets a takeaway and starts an odd-man rush, he then finishes off a tap-in that seemed to go right past Morrow's stick. It's 2-0 Stars... |
