Thank you Dallas Stars

It was fun while it lasted.  You guys took the fans to a place we didn’t think we would go this year.

Maybe next year will be the year of the Cup.

Do you believe?

The good news, a 5 hour game with these start times aren’t quite as bad as last night.

Yes I’m still excited

In looking at this site http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/playoffs2008/news/story?id=3381643 Dallas and Detroit share the honors of having been part of the most games in the top 10 longest NHL games, tied at 3 games each.  Not bad for a team that transitioned to Dallas 14 years ago.  I know when I was up in Minneapolis a few years ago, I was warned not to mention the Dallas Stars as they were still a little bitter about losing the North Stars to Texas. 

4 OTs

I admit I gave up after the 2nd OT and went to bed but as soon as I woke up this morning, I was checking to see the final conclusion.  OMG, they did it.  I love that this team wasn’t expected to make it out of the first round and here they are going to the finals.  CT was very excited when I gave him the news.

I’m not sure how we will do against the Red Wings but at least we are having fun!

Go Stars, Go Stars

For a team that wasn’t suppose to get out of the first round of the playoffs, they be looking pretty damn good.  This helps the Dallas fan base who has to put up with the horrible no good Mavs and the always dismal Rangers.

And if these off season rumors about Romo don’t go away, then it might not be too much fun for the Boys fans.  All this worry about Pacman and Dixon, if success has gone to Romo’s head, it won’t matter about Hill’s boys. 

But that is months away (boohoo) and so right now it is good to be a Dallas Stars fan!

 

Very exciting

No one gave them a chance.  None what so ever and yet the Stars survived the first round of the playoffs.  This brings back memories of me and my sister sitting up ALL night long watching game 7 of the Stanley Cup finals a few years back.  Wouldn’t it feel good to do that again?

Rangers are playing the Red Sox right now.  Anyone gives the Rangers a chance in hell?  Thought not.

So my son C is of course getting interested in baseball all the way around. I explained that the closest pro team is the Rangers but that Sportzie wants him to be a Red Sox fan. He asked me the difference so I explained he could like the local team or he could like a good team.

No danger of the Rangers ever being confused for a good team.
