The coronavirus has shut down the entire planet. To quote Tony Stark from The Avengers: Infinity Wars, “Earth is closed today.” Several people are debating if this NHL season will have a Stanley Cup Playoff or not. For the sake of this article, let’s assume a worst-case scenario and say there will be no more […]

The Dallas Stars are one of the most experienced teams in the NHL (from ‘Sizing up the NHL: 2019-20 NHL teams by age, height, weight and nationality,’ The Athletic, 10/09/2019). With players like Tyler Seguin, Alexander Radulov, and captain Jamie Benn providing numbers on the stat sheet and leadership in the locker room, veteran performances […]

Don’t expect the Dallas Stars to turn any heads at the trade deadline. Just don’t. The possibility of the front office making a significant move probably evaporated with Blake Coleman being traded to the Tampa Bay Lightning Sunday night.  Related: Stars’ Trade Deadline: All-in or Fold? While I know it may not be the answer […]

One of the defining characteristics of the Dallas Stars this season has been its young, developing talent. Forwards like Roope Hintz and Denis Gurianov have seamlessly fit in with the veterans, and at times have outperformed them. Meanwhile, on the defensive side of the ice, Miro Heiskanen could be one of the biggest names in […]

It was a hat trick on free hat night for captain Jamie Benn. As the camo decorated military appreciation hats covered the ice, an optimistic reality filled the stands at the American Airlines Center. This Dallas Stars team is for real. One fan even called in on The Ticket 1310/96.7’s postgame show going as far […]

It’s like playing a game of Texas Hold ‘Em in the Wild West as the Dallas Stars approach the trade deadline. Country singer Kenny Rogers once sang “you gotta know when to hold ‘em, know when to fold ‘em.”  The franchise is teetering on an opportunity to do real damage this postseason but don’t necessarily […]

Goal 14 for No. 14 was exactly what the doctor ordered for the Dallas Stars on Wednesday night. Jamie Benn’s game-winning overtime goal got the Stars back in the win column after a messy week going into the All Star break. Monday night against the Tampa Bay Lightning was a big night for the captain […]

Saturday night’s loss to the Minnesota Wild gave Dallas Stars fans looking for a reason to dismiss coach Rick Bowness plenty of ammunition. The Stars were outclassed in every phase of the game as the Wild cruised to a 7-0 victory. It was the first game with defenseman Miro Heiskanen missing after an injury. Most […]

With about 14:40 left in the second period, Dallas Stars defensemen Jamie Oleksiak and Miro Heiskanen were battling along the boards with Buffalo Sabres forward Curtis Lazar. Heiskanen began to fall after a bump from Lazar and that’s when Sabres forward Rasmus Asplund came flying in with an unintentional cross-check. The blow went straight to […]

The Central Division is now between two teams, the Dallas Stars and St. Louis Blues. After the Stars swept the season series against the Colorado Avalanche in Denver Tuesday night, Dallas finds themselves 10 points behind the Blues in the standings. They are also ranked seventh in ESPN’s power rankings, which ultimately means nothing, but […]

The Dallas Stars closed out the decade with back-to-back wins against the Arizona Coyotes and the Colorado Avalanche. Keeping the good times going into the New Year will require a few resolutions for Rick Bowness and company. Pump-up the Power Play When Derek Laxdal took over the Stars’ power play, few people knew his name […]

We’ve now seen it all from new bench boss Rick Bowness. Since he took over as head coach of the Dallas Stars, he has had a dominating win, a comeback win, an overtime loss, and now a regulation loss. Monday night, the Stars fell to the Edmonton Oilers 2-1 after taking six penalties. To start […]
