Well maybe its a sign that there arent any hockey threads on here, but that doesnt mean there arent any stars fans or hockey fans in general.

The Stars are finishing up one of the best seasons the franchise has ever had, and the playoffs are nearing. How far will they go, who will they match up with, can the hockey world handle the cup coming to Texas twice?

Discuss...

GO STARS!

well, i keep up with the stars a little bit...but only so much that i can handle. I dont think we have what it takes to handle Detroit. Turco has been studly this season and his gas will go out eventually. So i say stars lose in conference finals to the wings 4-3.

The Stars are exciting this year.
I cannot wait to see the Red Wings drop faster than GM stock.

I was just thinking if I could find a Stars thread, and lo and behold. Not much too add right now, but we'll have to turn this up once the playoffs start.

Stars play tonight on FSN, maybe ill actually get to watch it in college station. usually some rockettes or disastros game comes on instead. cox always shows that a stars game is on, but it is often overridden by FSN houston...

way to go turco....great stop at the end of the game to hold on to yet another stars win!

Stars lose in second round to the Flames.

NHL playoffs are a bit unpredictable but i think that if anyone will beat the stars this year it will be detroit in the conference finals

well, stars at wings tonight at 6 on OLN. Wouldve been a good matchup for the presidents trophy if stars didnt struggle two weeks ago. Should be a fun game to watch to lead us into the playoffs next week.

Stars - Avs first round! It will be fun sending the Avs home. No b*tch-*ss Forsberg or Foote to hate on, but there should still be plenty of emotion.

I was really hoping for Edmonton again just to continue what was a fun "traditional" first round matchup. I've always hated the Avs though, so I don't mind beating up on them.

The stars will no doubt end up playing edmonton. Hopefully they can make it to the finals again.

I went to the Stars-Wings game last night. Let me just say that Wings fans are a bunch of drunk a-holes. I actually took off my Stars jersey in the parking lot for fear some white trash guys were gonna ram my little car with Texas plates and me wearing a Stars jersey..

Really pisses me off because I've never given (or remember any other people) crap to the legions of Wings fans that come out when I've seen them play us in Dallas (3 or 4 times).

i was hoping that vancouver would make it to the 7 spot for us to play, but i think colorado is almost as good. they dont seem to have much momentum for the playoffs.

im gonna be there on saturday afternoon, hopefully we can start the playoffs with a win!

edit: they changed the game to saturday

we don't seem to have much momentum going into the playoffs either, hope we can turn it up.

plenty of momentum...if we can just HOLD A DAMN LEAD!

Too bad they can't beat Detroit.

They won at Detroit in January. They outplayed them a few days ago as well.. I like our chances against Detroit.

We play Colorado?
Oh man...and I personally like Rob Blake.

Just got my tickets for Saturday's game...can't wait.

GO STARS!

If any of you all want some fun, when watching the games against the Avs make sure you have the computer going with Mike Haynes. When the Stars score, his defeated calls are priceless!

They out played Detroit to a 3-2 loss, with a 2-0 lead Ten min to go.

Not that I'm a Wing fan, but Detroit owns the Stars.

we will see soon enough, but i wouldnt put too much stock in detroit's regular season record. they play in the weakest division by far. its tough not to have a good record with you have 24 games scheduled against columbus, chicago, and mighty st louis (21-3)

and for what its worth detroit was lucky to come away with the win against the stars.

and 2-2 this season against the stars does not qualify as ownage in my book

That was my point.. Do you understand the concept that a team can be "outplayed" and still win? I went to the game, trust me I'm quite aware of who won..

You must not have seen all those games this year. With the exception of the last, Detroit owned the neutral zone, puck control, and sog. Nice try. Detroit has owned the Stars for years, I do not know which NHL you have been watching. Take off green tinted glasses.

Thanks for the lesson on conceptual understading, good job.

thank you.

Actually posting your reasoning below it actually added to the discussion.. not sure I believe it.. but at least is a valid point, instead of refuting a team got "outplayed" by merely posting the score of a close game (which says little)..

Let's get this shyeet started...

-------------------------------------------------------

Not a good way to begin the playoffs. Terrible showing both offensively and defensively.

Game 2 is now a must win.

hopefully they can turn it around in game 2, that was not a typical performance...

Careful, Genius posting.
