I’m glad I didn’t go (see above, later, whatever). According to the score, I can tell it wasn’t even close…5-2. What a pisser! On the upside, we do get to raise one banner next Fall to celebrate the accomplishment of … Continue reading →

What an exhausting nail biter. The score (4-3) may appear to be a repeat of Wednesday night but this time the Stars kept it together. The officiating was crap though. Barely any calls on the grappling and tripping with both … Continue reading →

I finally made it to a playoff game last night. My first-place Stars swept the Rockford Icehogs so they’re facing the Milwaukee Admirals, a team that has given them a hard time all season. It’s pretty impressive we beat them … Continue reading →

My Stars have won five straight in pursuit of the Calder Cup! Tonight was their first shutout, a 4-0 drubbing given to the defending champs. They were off to a shaky start given it took 18 shots-on-goal to finally have … Continue reading →
