09 Jan 06 : 36 | An order of yuck and a side of ugly Wow... seriously I don't know how much more I can add at this point after that mess we all just watched. The quotes were all negative as you could imagine after the game. Mike Modano called this loss "a buzz kill," considering how much better the Stars were feeling about themselves before they got...

09 Jan 06 : 30 | It's raining Wings goals Another penalty by the Stars, and the Red Wings score on a 4 on 3 on a nasty little shot from Pavel Datsyuk. Honestly don't know what to say at this point, other than the Stars are just getting steamrolled in this one. I'll say it again... this Red Wings team is very, very, very good.

09 Jan 03 : 22 | Stephan in It's foregone conclusion time at tonight's Stars game... Tobias Stephan is now in net for the Stars after Marty allowed four goals on 18 shots. Another ugly night up in the Motor City for him. As for Stephan, it's his first action since his start in Nashville on Dec. 13. Source : five for fighting 4 hours ago |
09 Jan 03 : 10 | 4-0 Wings... yikes The Wings are just doing whatever they want at this point, or at least that's what it looks like. Stephane Robidas was in the box for his second consecutive hooking call for the Wings' fourth power play. Marian Hossa shoves Jere Lehtinen aside to win the puck, and Tomas Holmstrom has open ice and a... Source : five for fighting 4 hours ago |
09 Jan 02 : 53 | 3-0 Wings You get a reminder of how good this Detroit team can be. At least the Stars are getting a reminder of that right now. The rebound is there, and Kirk Maltby is all by his lonesome coming down the right point. It's an easy rebound for him, and the Wings are up 3-0 at the 12:27 mark of this period. ...

09 Jan 02 : 24 | One in and, uh... Well, suffice it to say, right now it's looking like a typical outing in Detroit. Down early and looking for something, anything, to get some momentum back. I go back to Mike Ribeiro and his lack of shooting on good scoring opportunities. Just too methodical for a team like this. Stars escaped the... Source : five for fighting 5 hours ago |
09 Jan 02 : 06 | Make it 2-0 Wings Sorry, I'm late on this. At this rate, I'm afraid to look down. Marty came out to stop one, and Daniel Cleary grabbed the loose puck and had an easy punch-in for a 2-0 Wings lead at the 11:28 mark. James Neal went into the box less than a minute later for crosschecking but the Stars killed that one... Source : five for fighting 5 hours ago |
09 Jan 01 : 50 | Lines vs. Detroit; Red Wings up 1-0 No big changes, kids: Sutherby-Richards-Eriksson Neal-Modano-Lehtinen Ott-R ibeiro-Conner Parrish-Petersen-BarchDefensive pairings: Robidas-Daley, Niskanen-Sydor, Grossman-Hutchinson And the Red Wings are already up 1-0 on the Stars. It didn't look like Marian Hossa's... Source : five for fighting 6 hours ago |
08 Jan 21 : 01 | Thursday in Detroit Hey folks, Pretty quiet morning in the Motor City (man, I love when the Stars play in the eastern time zone. More deadline room). Joel Lundqvist isn't quite as ready to go as originally thought. He got a good day in skating this a.m., but Tippett said they'll also look at how he does... Source : five for fighting 10 hours ago |
07 Jan 23 : 38 | Wednesday update There was a big media contingent at today's practice for Mike Modano's all-star selection. Of course, Steve Ott couldn't resist having some fun. As the media throng began making its way to Modano's locker, Ott, whose locker is right next to Modano's, began speaking unsolicited about making the... Source : five for fighting 32 hours ago |
07 Jan 18 : 07 | Mike Modano named to All-Star team Stars forward Mike Modano has been named to the Western Conference roster for the NHL All-Star Game Jan. 25 in Montreal. Modano, 38, will be making his seventh NHL All-Star appearance, with his most recent appearance in the 2004 game in Minnesota. He was selected for two other games but missed...

06 Jan 22 : 20 | What's with the travel?! OK, this is my rant for the day, and it's basically for any team that's had to deal with this mess of a traveling schedule that's set up (aka, most teams in the Western Conference. The Eastern Conference? Puh-leese!) Anyway, the Stars left Vancouver at 10 a.m. Monday morning after they were... Source : five for fighting |
06 Jan 21 : 30 | Tuesday updates Hey kids, It was back to work for the Stars today after their lengthy travel day back home on Monday (I'll get to the fun of all that in another post). Anyway, onto the updates: Jere Lehtinen and Darryl Sydor were not practicing today, but Dave Tippett said it was just a rest day for... Source : five for fighting |
05 Jan 06 : 54 | Neal once again I've been watching this one all night and should've been on here sooner, but I got a little more wrapped up in the game than I originally thought I would be. Let's throw James Neal's name in for early consideration for the Calder Memorial Trophy, shall we? Another fabulous night for the kid,... Source : five for fighting |
04 Jan 07 : 02 | Lot of shots, but... I caught most of this one on TV, and that power play reared its ugly head again. Can't go 0-for on the road, especially when you get the first three power-play attempts out of the gate. Someone has to get up front, cause a ruckus, deflect some pucks. In other words, someone has to do their best... Source : five for fighting |
02 Jan 19 : 05 | Friday ramblings Hey folks, I won't be making the trip to Edmonton/Vancouver, so let's get the updates in as best we can for the weekend: Chris Conner will give the Stars an extra body in Canada, but who knows if he plays or not. The lines have built up some good chemistry right now, and I'm not sure they... Source : five for fighting |
01 Jan 22 : 55 | Conner recalled The Stars are bringing right wing Chris Conner back up for the trip to Edmonton/Vancouver. I take that to mean Joel Lundqvist and Fabian Brunnstrom are staying home on this go-around. Conner last played with the Stars on Dec. 16 against Phoenix (got an assist in that one). In his eight December... Source : five for fighting |
01 Jan 07 : 25 | Good end to '08, and Happy New Year! Hey folks, Just got back to the abode... and if it weren't for the building in front of me I'd be enjoying a heck of a fireworks display right now. Ah well, I take stock in what I do have, which is quite a lot... Anyway, onto the game. And it was a beauty, eh? Some good in the first period,... Source : five for fighting |
01 Jan 05 : 06 | Stars beat the Devils 4-2 Loui Eriksson's second goal of the game, an empty-netter in the final minute, sealed the Stars' 4-2 victory over New Jersey at American Airlines Center. The Stars had 43 shots on goal in the victory. Source : five for fighting |
01 Jan 03 : 10 | Devils tie it The Devils keep control, get a few bodies to screen and it's 1-1 with 2:30 remaining in the first period. Defenseman Mike Mottau got one through all those bodies, with Patrick Elias and Brian Gionta assisting. That shorthanded goal looms large now, doesn't it? By the way, the Devils are now on...

01 Jan 02 : 47 | Lines vs. Devils Brian Sutherby moves up with Loui Eriksson and Brad Richards, and Toby Petersen is centering the fourth line.

31 Dec 22 : 07 | Vishnevskiy called up Defenseman Ivan Vishnevskiy is being called up to the big club today. Now I'd be stunned if he was in the lineup tonight against the New Jersey Devils, so I'm not quite sure why the Stars are bringing him into town. Maybe the Stars just want one extra body up there, maybe he's going to Canada, who... Source : five for fighting |
31 Dec 20 : 18 | Happy early New Year I'm throwing that in the headline because there wasn't much else to chat about at morning skate. All the available boys were skating this morning, and as of today it looks like the Stars will not be calling up anyone. With the Edmonton-Vancouver trip coming up, however, Chris Conner will probably be... Source : five for fighting |
30 Dec 22 : 54 | Lundqvist, Brunnstrom on IR Ah, another day another injury as the topic of discussion. Joel Lundqvist (shoulder) and Fabian Brunnstrom (lower body) have been placed on injured reserve retroactive to the dates of their injuries (Brunnstrom on Dec. 27, and Lundqvist on Dec. 20). Looks like this is mainly to give the Stars some... Source : five for fighting |
30 Dec 06 : 40 | Not devastated I guess I didn't expect the locker room to be crushed after this one. The Stars were a far cry from the group that got absolutely manhandled by this San Jose squad back in late November, and the Stars seemed to take a lot of solace out of how they played on Monday night. They did do a lot of good.... Source : five for fighting |

29 Dec 19 : 42 | A sunny Monday Aaah, not a whole lot to report out of this morning, kids. All is well on the Stars front, or at least as good as it could be. Joel Lundqvist is out for tonight; Dave Tippett said he seems to be making some progress on his rehab, so we'll continue to monitor. No Fabian Brunnstrom tonight, either,...

28 Dec 21 : 37 | Brunnstrom day to day, etc. Fabian Brunnstrom was out of this afternoon's practice with a lower-body injury; he's listed as day to day. Now Mark Parrish was on the line with Steve Ott and Mike Ribeiro in Brunnstrom's place, and it sounds like Parrish will play tomorrow night against the San Jose Sharks. Meanwhile, Marty...

28 Dec 06 : 34 | A month ago, this is a loss Let's think back to about a month ago shall we? Maybe even beyond that... if the Ducks score that late goal on the Stars then, the Stars are hanging their heads, their body language is abysmal and they're likely out of here with a loss. My opinion, obviously, but I think Saturday night was an... Source : five for fighting |
28 Dec 03 : 44 | Good and bad The passing on both sides has been sketchy. I mentioned to a colleague: What does it say when Marty Turco's had some of the crisper passes in the game thus far? Anyway, the Ducks were pushing hard after Richards' goal, but the Stars finally started pushing back at the end of the third and got the... Source : five for fighting |

27 Dec 19 : 40 | Lundqvist frustrated Joel Lundqvist won't go again tonight, as he continues to struggle back from that shoulder problem. Now structurally, everything is just fine with it. The injury is all healed. He's done some more rehab the past few days, and he's feeling the strength coming back. With his game, he obviously needs... Source : five for fighting |
26 Dec 20 : 38 | Back to work Aah, the short break was nice, but it's back to the ice for the boys and for us scribes. Times like this I miss the Christmas break I had as a kid... wait, more the one I had in college. Like a month or something. OK, back to the Stars. Everybody was on the ice today (save Brenden Morrow and Sergei... Source : five for fighting |
24 Dec 02 : 40 | Stars up 5-0 Another goal, another Ontario native getting his name announced on the loud speaker. Krys Barch from Hamilton, Ontario, gets a second or third attempt (I'm not sure) from his knees, and it gets past Toskala for a 5-0 Stars lead at the 3:45 mark. Landon Wilson and Trevor Daley (yep, hometown kid... Source : five for fighting |
23 Dec 22 : 08 | Sutherby in tonight Brian Sutherby will make his Dallas Stars debut tonight against the Toronto Maple Leafs. And it sounds like Mark Parrish will be watching from the sidelines. Parrish just hasn't found a rhythm past his first game in a Stars uniform (remember that hat trick at the beginning of November?) The guy's... Source : five for fighting |
22 Dec 21 : 12 | Updates and Loui's No. 1 Actually, let's start with Mr. Loui Eriksson since he's earned it. He's also earned the No. 1 star of the week by the NHL for his six-goal outing in the past three games. So good for him. A Toronto writer actually informed him of the honor before the PR folks could. Loui took it in typical Loui... Source : five for fighting |

Make that fly. It's a balmy 8 degrees (feels like minus something) and we're expecting about 5-8... Source : five for fighting |
21 Dec 01 : 13 | Lundqvist, Grossman out OK, I'm very surprised to see these two names on the scratches list, but there you are. Thought Lundqvist was fine after Thursday, but maybe he's dinged up. Grossman apparently is battling a flu bug. Oh well. By the way, Stars already down 1-0 thanks to Daniel Alfredsson's goal. That's the... Source : five for fighting |
20 Dec 22 : 09 | Lehtinen in? It would look that way at this point; coach Dave Tippett said Jere will skate in the warmup and decide after that, but I'm thinking he's ready to go. Talked with Trevor Daley real quick this morning and he said he's fine and is playing tonight. Now he didn't skate long this morning, so you wonder... Source : five for fighting |
17 Dec 23 : 13 | Robidas about ready; Zubov outlook "gray" Stop me if this surprises you: Stephane Robidas is ready to play tomorrow's game against the Columbus Blue Jackets.

19 Dec 17 : 24 | Friday update Hey all, Someone asked about Trevor Daley; sorry I didn't put it on the blog last night, but there was no real update. And there's a bit of one this morning.
