Stars Proving Jim Nill Right
Dallas Stars general manager Jim Nill didn’t make a single move at the NHL trade deadline. In two games since the February 26 deadline, the team has proven the GM right. On Tuesday, a focused Calgary Flames club rode into Dallas on a two-game win streak and trailing the Stars by a single point in […]
Top 5 Stars Trade Options
The Christmas break, bye week and all-star break are in the Dallas Stars’ rearview mirror. From their precarious perch in the Western Conference’s first wild card spot, the playoffs are within reach. Could general manager Jim Nill swing a deal to improve the Stars’ playoff chances between now and the February 26 trade deadline? Some […]
Dallas Stars Download: Work in Progress Edition
Nobody said the Dallas Stars’ road to the Stanley Cup would be straight and level…or even paved, for that matter. The Stars returned home very early Friday morning, following a less-than-successful five-game road trip. Though a 2-3-0 record kept the trip out of the ‘complete disaster’ category, bookending it with losses to division rivals Colorado […]
Dallas Stars Download: Rocky Road Edition
After Thursday’s 5-4 loss to the Edmonton Oilers, the Dallas Stars are 1-4-0 on the road this season. Rolling down the highway to Calgary, the third stop on their five-game odyssey, the Stars might’ve pondered the lyrics to Texas troubadour Max Stalling’s “Green Lights“: Here I am back on the road again Don’t it feel […]
Dallas Stars Download: 3-Game Win Streak Edition
The Dallas Stars had a good, if imperfect, week. They slid past a desperate Arizona Coyotes squad with a 5-4 win Thursday night, extending their win streak to three games and boosting their record to 4-3-0. That’s good. To get Thursday’s win, however, goalie Ben Bishop had to play the role of Bonasera in The Godfather, […]
Dallas Stars Download: Learning Curve Edition
Of all the preseason predictions made for the Dallas Stars, an 1-3-0 start wasn’t on the list. Chalk it up to the Stars’ learning curve. Coach Ken Hitchcock touched on it after Wednesday’s practice. “…I liked a lot of the things we did yesterday [in Tuesday’s 4-2 win over the Detroit Red Wings], so we’ve […]
Dallas Stars Download: Hail and Farewell Edition
The Dallas Stars’ past week has been filled with mixed emotions. Saturday night, the team played their final preseason game, a 5-1 loss to the Minnesota Wild. Unlike last year, the Stars made it through September with only minor bumps and bruises, so a happy and relieved club flew back to Dallas that night. The […]
Dallas Stars Download: Preseason Edition
The Dallas Stars cruised past a Minnesota Wild squad made up mostly of ‘bubble’ players and AHLers Tuesday night. With the 4-1 victory, the Stars improved to 3-2-0 in September. They’ll close out the preseason Saturday in the Twin Cities, where they’ll likely face a dramatically different Wild team. It’s easy to dismiss preseason games; […]
Dallas Stars Download: Training Camp Edition
After the injury-riddled bust that was the 2016-17 season, it was quite fitting that the Stars should open Training Camp 2017 in a building just off the aptly-named New Hope Drive. An eager, optimistic Stars club boarded buses at their headquarters in Frisco Thursday for the three-hour drive to Cedar Park. After General Manager Jim […]
Dallas Stars Roster Predictions 2017-18
After a disappointing 2016-17 season exposed the Dallas Stars’ flaws, changes were in order. Stars general manager Jim Nill took care of business between April and July, replacing Lindy Ruff with Ken Hitchcock as head coach, drafting top defense and goalie prospects Miro Heiskanen and Jake Oettinger, trading for franchise goalie Ben Bishop and veteran […]
Making Sense of Martin Hanzal
Why did the Dallas Stars sign Martin Hanzal? Virtually all of the Stars’ other offseason moves are easily understood: The team needed to make a coaching change, so Ken Hitchcock was hired. To improve their last line of defense, they traded for Ben Bishop and signed him to a six-year deal before the giant goalie […]
Plotting the Stars’ next Move
What can the Dallas Stars get for Cody Eakin? That question must be on General Manager Jim Nill’s mind as June 17 approaches. On that date, he’ll submit a list of protected Stars to the Vegas Golden Knights for their expansion draft. For Eakin to be protected, the Stars would likely have to expose feisty […]
Stars Capture Kings’ Bishop
Big Ben is coming to Big D. Dallas Stars General Manager Jim Nill took not a small step, but a giant leap toward fixing his club’s goalie situation Tuesday afternoon, acquiring exclusive negotiating rights to Ben Bishop from the Los Angeles Kings. In exchange, the Kings received Montreal’s fourth-round pick in the 2017 NHL Entry […]
Welcome Back, Hitchcock
The Dallas Stars turned to the past in order to move forward, introducing Ken Hitchcock as head coach at a Thursday morning press conference. Hitch: “This is like coming home.” pic.twitter.com/xmkMsgOc9S — Dallas Stars (@DallasStars) April 13, 2017 “Hitch” broke into the NHL head-coaching ranks with the Stars midway through the 1995-96 season. Despite leading the club to the […]
Where Will Lindy Ruff Land?
As the Dallas Stars‘ most disappointing season in over 20 years comes to a close, the summer of 2017 promises to be one of change for the organization. General Manager Jim Nill will wheel-and-deal to improve the Stars’ goaltending and defense, but his first move could happen behind the bench. Though unthinkable in October, the departure of Lindy […]
Recap: Lehtonen Blanks Sharks
The San Jose Sharks can thank Dallas Stars winger Patrick Sharp for their loss Monday night. Sharp hit Stars netminder Kari Lehtonen up high with a shot during warmups and “woke the beast,” Lehtonen joked after the game. The Finnish goalie’s performance was no laughing matter, though, as he stopped all 30 pucks the Sharks threw at him […]
Preview: Stars & Sharks Face off Monday
Fortunately for the San Jose Sharks, the Dallas Stars aren’t a playoff team. If they were, the Sharks might have a problem: In their last five games against playoff-bound clubs, the Sharks are 1-4-0. Worse yet, they were held to a single goal in each of the four losses. This promises to be an interesting week for […]
Recap: Anderson Stands Tall in Senators’ Win
Powered by Craig Anderson’s 35-save performance, the Ottawa Senators outscored and outlasted the Dallas Stars 5-2 Wednesday night. The victory extended the Sens’ win streak to four and moved them to within four points of first place in the Atlantic. They also maintained their four-point lead over the Boston Bruins, who also won Wednesday night. Though his […]
Preview: Stars Host Red-Hot Senators
What happens when a team whose top players are all on scoring streaks meets a team whose goalie is playing lights-out hockey? That question will begin to answer itself at 7:14 p.m. Central tonight, when the puck drops between the Dallas Stars and Ottawa Senators. The Stars come into Wednesday’s game with several key players running hot: […]
The Panthers’ Missing Piece
With their 2-1 win over the St. Louis Blues Monday night, the Florida Panthers finished their five-game road trip undefeated, a franchise first. The victory vaulted the Cats into the thick of the Eastern Conference playoff race, and within striking distance of first in the Atlantic Division. Healthy for the first time all season, the […]
