The National Hockey League, in conjunction with the Dallas Stars and American Airlines Center, announced on Monday, January 23, 2006 that the Dallas Stars will host the 2007 NHL All-Star Celebration, January 22-24, 2007, at American Airlines Center and venues throughout the area. The 55th NHL All-Star Game will be played at American Airlines Center on Wednesday evening, January 24, 2007. The arena will also hold the NHL SuperSkills and the YoungStars Game on Tuesday, January 23. There will also be a Monday All-Star event at American Airlines Center, with planning currently in its infancy stages. More details on the Monday event will be announced at a later date. This will mark the first non-weekend NHL All-Star events since 1989 when the 40th NHL All-Star Game was played in Edmonton on a Tuesday. The All Star Game that will be coming to Dallas in the 2007 season will be the 10th All Star Game all time in the State of Texas and the first for the National Hockey League.

Should be a good one with Detroit at home and struggling and the Stars seemingly having found something.


P.S. Garland sucks

Detroit: pi
Dallas: 2

Turco's back in goal tonight and something like 1-13 against DET.

DET 7
DAL 1

Amen.

I don't care who the Stars have in net. There is some giant organEYEzational mental block when it comes to the Wings.

So....you disagree with me now? Troy, you're not very popular on this site.

"P.S. Garland sucks"

My brother lives in Garland and he thinks that it's Valhalla. It reminds me of Oak Cliff circa 1950.

Ouch. I would hope that when great warriors die, they don't wind up in Garland.

Stars - 4
Red Wings - 2

In addition to Lehtinen returning to the goal-scoring column for real this game, Turco finally gets the empty-netter and first true regulation win over the Wings that he's been statistically due for some time, now. I'll predict Modano for the other two Dallas scores. . . . I never get tired of seeing that -- especially with him so close to 500 and Mullen.

Who's gonna wear the C in lieu of Morrow's injury?

Hmmm. . . I forgot Modano will probably have that added motivation to perform even better than normal tonight. He always seems to turn it up a notch against this team, anyway.

Wings: 4

Stars: 1

Detroit goals: Zetterburg 2, Dats, Schneider.

Dallas goal: Smith!

"Ouch. I would hope that when great warriors die, they don't wind up in Garland. "

No, that would be S. Farmers Branch.
