Yeah...I'm ready for some hockey, too......

Thanks Lobo, looking forward to some hockey, Baseball and Basketball is a little too sissy after watching it countless times. Need some rough-housing.

3 weeks away from the first pre-season game! Yay! Can't wait.

Training camp starts on the 12th. I'll be there and will try to get as many pictures as possible for you guys.

This season should be very interesting...looking forward to getting things started!

6 days away!

2 days away. GO STARS GO. I'm guessing the roster for the game will be out tomorrow or early Wednesday morning (Tampa's will be out tomorrow). I'll post it when it's out.

I'll try and keep y'all updated while at the game. Don't believe there's any media (radio/TV) coverage of the game.

Radio coverage for Tampa Bay:
http://www.620wdae.com/main.html

Well at least someone is broadcasting it.

Tampa Bay Line Up from the Lightning board....
Bochenski, Downie, Fedoruk, Halpern, Jones, Karsums, Konopka, McLean, Miller, Panik, Szczechura, Tyrell
Foster, Hale, Hedman, Lashoff, Lundin, Smaby
Janus, Nittymaki.

From the DMN.

They changed it to http://www.970wfla.com/main.html Just a heads up to everyone.

Tonight's Roster against Tampa..
Goalies: Turco, Beskorowany
Defense: Fistric, Woywitka, Ludwig, Skrastins, Larsen, Niskanen
Forwards, J. Neal Modano, Eriksson, Sutherby, Peters, Sceviour, Benn, Ott, Vincour, Gazdic, Gagnon, Richards

I'm guessing Modano and Benn will be on the same line. That's how they were in practice.

Richards, Neal, and Eriksson will probably play together on a line at some point during the game as well. Richards and Neal have been on a line together since training camp opened and have been lighting it up.

Thoughts from a 4-3 Dallas shoot out win over Tampa Bay...

1) Neal and Richards both played lights out. That 3rd goal was a thing of beauty. Hopefully they can keep it up for the rest of the season.
2) How we only scored 3 goals in regulation is beyond me. FINISH PLEASE
3) I like having a powerplay. That was nice.
4) Tyler played a lot better than I thought he would. Glad to see him get the W.
5) How was the penalty that Eriksson caused in the 3rd, when he broke in on a breakaway, not a penalty shot? Didn't understand that at all. He never got a shot off and he was in on a break....so wouldn't that be a penalty shot?
6) Turco made a couple of great saves.
7) I don't like Woywitka (sp?) already.
8) The first two Tampa Bay goals can lay at the feet of Matt Niskanen. The first goal he let the puck get out of the offensive zone and boom 2 on 1 and they score. Second he had a chance to clear it and they kept it in, 5 seconds later they score.
9) I love my seats
10 part A) More no look passes from Richards to Neal please.
10 part B) I like Jamie Benn even more after tonight.

According to the Denver Post, tonight's game is on KCKK 1510 AM for the Avs.

THEY SCOREEEEEE!!!

BRENDEN MORROW!

Thats a...POWERPLAY GOAL!

Deflected in..1-0 Dallas.

Marek Svatos. Powerplay Goal.

1-1.

They score. Stoa? Something wear like that.

Dallas = Flat. 2-1 Avs.

Scores. Wolski.

3-1 Avs.

Dallas knocks off St. Louis, 4-2 on Saturday night. Youngster Jamie Benn scores 2 goals to give the Stars the advantage.

The Stars already have more wins in the first 3 preseason games than they did in the entire 08-09 preseason (finished with a 1-5-1 record).

Dallas takes on Florida on Tuesday.

Expected Line Up from Heika...

Florida knocks off Dallas, 3-1 last night.

Benn got the only goal for the Stars and easily could've of had a hat trick but was stoned by Clemmenson at least twice.

Dallas and Florida square off again tonight in Sunrise.

Getting outshot 13-3 after 1.

Dallas knocks off Colorado, 3-2, tonight at the AAC.

Good win with Auld in net. Eriksson gets 2 goals with Neal getting the other. That Neal/Richards/Eriksson line was unstoppable most of the night.

Game against St. Louis tonight is on 1310 AM The Ticket. Pre-game starts at 6:30, with the faceoff at 7:00.
