Do not hope for any help from Cedar Park.  This is the worst I've ever seen them look.  They went 4 straight periods with 4 or less shots and have shown very little ability to clear the zone unless you count icing.

Was huge to get 2 points last night.   Starting a road game less than 20 hours after the last one ended at home looked like a scheduled loss.

check back in at the end of the season. I'm betting it'll be a different story. they're trying to get their footing with new coaches and the like too. the pipeline is still very strong

Just got to buddys place from at the game. Wanted to see 8 what may be the last time. The chirping on the ice was more than usual. Thought there would be more scuffles.

you mean watch a statue stand at the left circle and wait for someone to pass him the puck? exciting! not really sure what motivates ovi these days, but it seems to be predominantly sweet treats.

good but somewhat boring win. will take it with so many players out of the lineup.

so 10 games in and I am more confused than confident. I don't think this team has established its identity yet, but I'm liking most of everything I am seeing, especially because things are trending more to how we expect them to be. the next 10 should be interesting

This Stars/Mavs/AAC is an absolute mess.   And seems like the City of Dallas is taking sides and are completely fucking this up if choosing the Adelsons. The City of Dallas Has No Choice But to Work Things Out With the Mavericks - D Magazine

I'm not sure if the Stars are innocent here either (as it's not going to surprise me if it comes out they wanted to move to the f'n burbs) but I'm just going to choose to believe the Mavs new ownership are the assholes in this situation as well as it certainly fits with everything else we've seen .  

It's amazing how much I've gone from a huge Mavs fan to essentially rooting for the franchise's failure.  At first it was until Nico was fired but maybe that won't change until (if ever) there is new ownership.

But yeah, the Stars moving North would be really depressing.  Immediate cancellation of season tix and wouldn't make near as many games.   And the City of Dallas screwing everything up and ending up without a single franchise that actually plays within the city limits would be par for the course.

CORRECTION:

It seems that the politically ambitious second term mayor of Dallas is taking sides to support one of the largest political donors for the party that he switched his political affiliation to shortly after being reelected.

Perhaps you haven’t followed this gentleman’s political maneuvering enough to understand what is really going on here.

This has everything to do with money and personal gain for the Adelson’s as well as the Dallas mayor.

if this ends up being some trump v canada bullshit and the Stars leave Texas imma gonna lose it

North of 635 might as well be Canada!  I never venture up that way (other than to get Cattleack BBQ, which is an entirely acceptable reason to venture north).

6-3-3 is not a bad record by any stretch, but this team has been a bit of a beating to start the season. hopefully they coalesce more as guys get healthy again. Rantanen is doing his part and so is Johnston. the rest of the team needs to step up

Yeah I don't get it. It's basically paying a bunch of money and going through a lot of hassle to watch the game on the jumbotron.  You ain't seeing shit otherwise.

The Winter Classic was awesome but we also got pretty damn lucky with the weather so I'm not surprised the NHL wanted to take the elements somewhat off the table for a late February game (unless of course there is an ice storm and nobody can get to Arlington).   It won't be near as cool as the Winter Classic was but I'll almost certainly attend. 

Interesting game tonight.   Stars an absolute mash unit potentially running 11/7 + Otter on Paternity leave and Oil is on back end of a road B2B after losing last night @ STL.

yeah, the 2000 WC might have been the pinnacle for Texas hockey, for now. no way the experience will be the same at Jerry world. like not even close. and yeah, those digital renderings do not install confidence in being able to see shit. at least at the cotton bowl you could *kinda* see what was going on.

could be an interesting one tonight. them on a b2b does equalize things a bit.

Fun game last night.  Miro and Miko in particular played their asses off which is what you need from your 2 best players.  I'm pretty impressed how we've treaded water and racked up solid points with all the injuries the last 2 weeks.  Hopefully can start getting healthy soon.

Guys I think this Rantanen guy might be good

Yeah he's aight.  Seriously though, he's a fucking badass. Such a great addition for this team and for us fans. Love watching him do his thing, and holy shit, what a hockey game. Side note, it's crazy how fucking solid Moose is. He hurts people without even trying (see the accidental collision in mid-ice). People just bounce off of him.

BTW for any of you who couldn't see it live b/c you have YTTV, it became available last night on the ESPN app, even for us YTTVers.

exactly. I was trying to tell anyone who would listen what an upgrade Rantanen is. we have several top 50-100 players in Hintz, Johnston, Miro, Robo, and Otter (probably top 25 there). Rantanen is a top 10 player, possibly top 5. we had stars before, now we have a superstar - and by all accounts it appears he really likes playing for us. bonus.

awesome on the yttv thing.
