1) What are the strengths and weakness in Roy? Is he more suited as a number 1 or 2 center? Roy is a #2 center. Period. Don’t let anyone else tell you other wise. Roy is a gifted playmaker. He can See the ice well and can rack up impressive point totals. Problem is he […]

The Stars signed Ray Whitney to a two year $9 million contract with a partial NMC today. It’s a move that I personally love. He may be 40-years-old but he’s still one of the most consistent scorers in the game (seven straight seasons of 55+ points, the last two with a offensively challenged Phoenix Coyotes […]

Well, that was a fun filled first round yesterday wasn’t it? There were some crazy moves and a wild run on defensemen that led to some massive drops that worked out perfectly for the Stars. They started out the draft by making a big trade, sending away Mike Ribeiro to the Washington Capitals for their […]

The draft is coming up soon so here’s another mock to look at, with a particular emphasis on what the Stars could be looking at by the time pick number 13 rolls around.   1) Edmonton Oilers Nail Yakupov – RW, Sarnia Sting (OHL) Age: 18 Ht/Wt: 5’11”/~190 lbs Edmonton desperately needs defense but Yakupov […]

Before the season began, one of the most talked about points in the offseason was how Jamie Benn had moved to center. There really wasn’t any doubt that he could excel in that playmaker role but just how good was he? There can be only one word to describe how Jamie Benn played this season, […]

Ah the enigmatic Mike Ribeiro. Has there been a player more frustrating than Ribs in the past five years? He seems to float in -and-out of games and it really looks like he’s playing his own game out there, separate from his teammates.  Last season, Ribeiro had one of the best seasons of his career […]

With the season over and the offseason starting for the Stars, it’s time for a player reviews! Yay~. Rather than pick and choose who I go with each day, I’ll just go through the roster alphabetically. Aside from the goaltenders, I’ll only be reviewing players that played at least 20 games with the team this […]

Another gut-wrenching season in the books and the Stars are once again just out of the playoffs. It’s clear that the talent level in Dallas just isn’t quite up to par with the other playoff teams in the West, as evidenced by what happened to this team in the late stages of the season. The […]

It was a tale of two months for the Dallas Stars. They started March on fire by winning six games in a row, their longest such streak of the season. Things kind of fell apart after that though as Dallas would lose six of the next nine games. Their standings reflected that shift in play […]
