Previews and Predictions

It has been so long since hockey was played that it's worth remembering the Dallas Stars' 2019-20 season. It was a bit of a rollercoaster that saw a coaching change, a stingy defense paired with a lack of scoring, and ended with a six-game losing streak (0-4-2) when the pandemic prematurely ended the regular season. The Stars finished third in the competitive Central Division, but thanks to a playoff format based on points percentage, they are the 4th seed in the west and avoided the play-in series. They will play the other top teams in the west in a round-robin, with the potential of moving up the seeding. If this was a traditional year, the Stars would face the 2nd seed Colorado Avalanche and have to "win" the Central before moving on to the Western Conference Final. Winning the Cup is never easy, but this is a favorable scenario for the Stars. It is fantastic to see videos from practice...

Stars History

The 4th of July is usually reserved for fireworks in the sky in the United States. However, there have been plenty of fireworks in the form of big trades and free-agent signings on this date throughout National Hockey League history. A Swap of Hall of Famers On July 4, 1994, the Calgary Flames and St. Louis Blues traded a pair of veteran defensemen who would both find their way to the Hockey Hall of Fame. The Flames traded Al MacInnis and a fourth-round draft pick to the Blues for Phil Housley and a pair of second-round draft picks. MacInnis, a veteran of 13 NHL seasons, was the Flames’ all-time lead scoring at the time of the trade. He won the Conn Smythe Trophy, for being the most valuable player of the playoffs when Calgary won the Stanley Cup in 1989. He played another 10 seasons with the Blues and won the Norris Trophy, for being voted the best defenseman in the league, following the 1998-99 season. MacInnis played 10 seasons with the Blues.
