![]() A FRESH START -- TAKE THREE Once again, The Stars will be an unknown quantity for the upcoming season. The short 2013 season was a roller coaster ride, totally unpredictable, and unsettling to say the least. Fun, yes, but scary, too. After missing the playoffs for the fifth year in a row, something that has never happened before in franchise history, the Stars ought to be raring to go come October. Who will be in the 2013-2014 Dallas Stars lineup? I'll get back to you after the summer's over. Once again, it's going to be exciting! |
2013-2014 YOUNG STARS MAKE FOR SOME EXCITING TIMES AHEAD Those of us who have followed the Stars since before their Championship Season in 1999 have been wondering who will take the place of the retiring and traded fan favorites who have brought us so much enjoyment over the past decade and more. But I believe we're seeing some of those new and bright lights already on the team. Brenden Dillon, Alex Chaisson, Cody Eakin and scrappy Antoine Roussel have already made their mark on the team and given us some really exciting hockey! These are just a few examples of young players who have shown great promise early in their careers. With free agency and potential trades coming up this summer, it's hard to tell what the team will be like in the coming season, but a new season is always exciting. Here's to 2013-2014 and the return of the Stars to the top of the league! Go Stars! |

![]() Now he's retired, but he's come back to the team as GM! ![]() ![]() ![]() Of course, what Stars page would be complete without the Golden Brett? Brett Hull wasn't with the Stars long enough, but while he was here, he scored the Stars' most famous goal, the "skate-in-the-crease-Cup-winning-triple- overtime-in-Game-Six-of- the-1999-Stanley-Cup-final" goal that brought Dallas its first and hopefully not last NHL Championship. One last time for Buffalo and Lindy Ruff: Possession of the puck does not change upon contact with a goaltender. Hull had possession BEFORE he entered the crease, therefore he still had possession and the right to be in the crease when he scored. Stop whining. Now Hullie's the Stars' Co-GM
![]() GO MIKE! ![]() Probably the most cerebral of the Dallas Stars, Sergei Zubov has proved himself a master of the power play, reliable in the shootout, and unflappable under pressure. For proof of the iced Vodka in his veins, one need look no further than one memorable game against the Carolina Hurricanes. The Stars were about to be shutout and, with almost no time left in regulation, Zubov calmly steered the puck around flailing Carolina defenders and scored to send the game into overtime with only a fraction of a second to go. Then, with only seconds left in overtime, he scored again, and Dallas won the game. Zubie IS the Sultan of Sagacity and the Prince of Percipience! ![]() In his rookie season, Jussi Jokinen proved himself to be a deadly sniper one-on-one. He has participated in all of Dallas's shootouts and, like the Stars, ended up with a league-best 10 for 13 record. He was especially stellar in a recent game against the Edmonton Oilers where he scored on a penalty shot against one of their goalies and then scored in the shootout against another of their goalies. Two goals against two different goalies in one game. Jussi is amazing! Sadly, he was traded to Tampa Bay in 2008, but he was picked up by Carolina and has been amazing for them in the playoffs.. ![]() Click here to visit the Dallas Stars official website. |
