The Geriatrics of Free Agency: Out With the Old, in With...the Old?
--- On draft day, the Dallas Stars shipped Mike Ribeiro off to Washington in return for 21-year-old Cody Eakin and a 2nd round pick. At that point, it looked like one of several moves which signaled the beginning of a rebuild. But oh how quickly things change. In just a matter of days, Joe Nieuwendyk did a complete make-over up...
Despite Missed Playoffs, the Dallas Stars Still Have Reasons For Hope
April 16th, 2012 The old adage goes that Rome wasn't built in a day, but the same can be said about successful NHL teams. The 2011-2012 Dallas Stars finished 10th in the West and missed the playoffs for the fourth consecutive year, extending the longest postseason drought that the team has seen since relocating to Dallas from Minnesota in 1993. The...Dallas Stars News and Notes: March 1
As the NHL playoffs lie in wait just around the corner, teams are reaching a critical, precarious point. All it takes is one strong winning streak to vault a team into a seemingly safe playoff position (see: the Phoenix Coyotes), or one uninspired losing streak to drop a team to a point where hope is rapidly fleeting (see: the Toronto...
Why The Dallas Stars Should Pursue Rick Nash Before The Trade Deadline
February 14th, 2012 Following weeks (or months, if you consider some of the more fringe trade rumor-mongers) of speculation, it appears that Columbus Blue Jackets sniper Rick Nash is, in fact, on the trade market, as reported by Sportsnet's John Shannon and then followed up on by Yahoo's Puck Daddy.

A Top-Six Forward Isn't What the Maple Leafs Need
January 27th, 2012 The trade deadline is quickly approaching and fans of the Leafs are screaming for a top-six forward once again. However, as Lukas Hardonk explains, a top-six forward is not what they need.
Dallas Stars News and Notes: January 4
January 4th, 2012 The past week of games for the Dallas Stars stayed true to the team's form thus far into the season: dangerously inconsistent swings between triumphant overcoming of adversity and uninspired fits of lackluster play. On Thursday the Stars were embarrassed 4-1 on home ice at the hands of the lowly Columbus Blue Jackets, but then turned...

Falling Stars: Dallas in a Tailspin
November 21st, 2011 After starting the season 11-3, the Dallas Stars have fallen off a precipice. The Stars have lost five straight and no longer look like the dominating force they were in the season's opening weeks. Ironically, the Stars continue to mirror last season in more ways than one. During their five game losing streak, the Stars have been...Stars Wrap Preseason With Win: Final Thoughts
Exhibition games don't mean everything, but they certainly can mean something. When the Dallas Stars defeated the St. Louis Blues by a commanding 4-0 score this past Saturday to conclude their preseason, not only did the team set a new team record for wins in a single preseason with 6, but they also provided fans with a bright glimmer...Stars need Ott to take next step
As far as Steve Ott is concerned, there's nothing that he can't accomplish once he sets his mind to it. The Dallas Stars can vouch for that; when the team needed Ott to become an effective, relentless penalty killer, he focused himself and worked to become one; when the team needed him to be one of their top faceoff specialists,...
