Still a lot to edit and create (like the game images), but wanted to get the thread up since we have the first game all but confirmed at this point. Go Stars Go.
well hopefully Jamie Benn signs a contract in time for this game, I have a feeling we are going to need all the help we can get from day 1 in this season.
Yep. Going to redo all the images as well when I get back home. In New York right now so can't really do it yet.
Believe the original game on this date was suppose to start at 7:30 but just went ahead with the 7 PM time cause I knew they were adding more 7 PM games to the schedule this season. Nothing is really confirmed yet, even opponent.
I'm not sure vitriol is in the Dallas sports fan's vocabulary. Honestly I think people are just going to be excited and happy more than anything.
basically how i feel. for those biblically inclined, i feel like the father after his prodigal son comes back from his wasteful nefarious ways. nhl hockey, welcome back to my life!
