Dreading this game for 1 reason.

Pretty sad that an announcer can ruin the game for a fan but he typically does.

Not dreading it at all, I'm feeling good actually, can't explain it.

Bill,

I see you have Rinaldo over Shelley on the 4th line? Is Rinaldo Ok

No disrespect to Shelley because he is now getting PP time but I'd rather young Rinaldo play if he's healthy

I'm not dreading it for hockey reasons just because I have to listen to simply horrible announcing.

maybe try streaming wip and listening to bundy and saunders, the game will be about 3 seconds ahead of the broadcast though

Hey Bill,

With the Stars sliding out of playoff contention and all the injuries you think any of their current defenseman will be available before the TDL is over?

i don't like doing the lines-thing in here but i'm not a big fan of the blogged lines

couturier should stay with read and simmonds on the second line and voracek should move up with hartnell/giroux.

Looking forward to Cooter seeing extended 2nd line minutes/ maybe some PP time. Maybe they could throw him a bone on the PP? I know Shelley really earned his time yesterday on the unit, that was great to see

With all of the injuries, a win today would be huge. It would have to really help build confidence.

Bill,
Any word on his progress or when JvR is expected to return?

He left the game yesterday in the second period and did not return. Really unbelievable run of poor luck on the injury front lately.

I agree. I'd like to see Couturier stay with Simmonds and Read. They make things happen.

Anyone know which reporter laughed when Bryz told them all to (frank) off?
Was that Tim? Dudes got to be the worst beat writer in sports.




That looks like what did it

Very possible. That was a real solid hit.

The next few weeks will tell. After the All-Star break, the club will have Jamie Benn and Mike Ribeiro back and the club should have a healthy lineup for the first time since October. If the team does not climb back into playoff contention with the next few weeks, I think you could see some moves.

From what I've heard, about a dozen teams have asked the Stars about the availability of Nicklas Grossman. But the Stars want to re-sign him to a long-term contract before he hits the UFA market this summer.

Sheldon Souray got off to a tremendous start this season but has had injury issues and his play has really come back down to earth. Perhaps he could be moved if the Stars do not pick up after the break.

The Stars would be happy to deal Adam Pardy, who has been a bust this year, but I don't see too many teams who would want to take on his contract.

Mark Fistric is an RFA after this season. He may be available in the right deal, although he's bumped Pardy out of the starting lineup and Glen Gulutzan seems to have more faith in him than Marc Crawford did.
