Hull on the Stars
Craig Custance of the Sporting News interviewed Brett Hull about the team’s slow start. Here’s an excerpt:
SN: I’m sure you’re sick of hearing this, but what’s wrong with the Stars?
Hull: I can’t even tell you the biggest issue on this team right now. (Shoot), if I knew, we’d fix it. It’s just your typical — there’s no consistency to our game. You need everyone to play one way and we’re a little disjointed early in the season. But you see that period right there (the first period in that win over Phoenix) — that was one of our best periods in a while. There were a lot of good things, getting the puck deep, no turnovers. The turnovers we’ve been having, it’s like holy mackerel. It kills you.
SN: I keep hearing about chemistry issues with the Stars. How big a problem has that been so far?
Hull: That’s complete (bull). I tried to nip that in the bud on the radio. There’s no turmoil whatsoever on this team. All the rumors you hear of Sean Avery are so (bleeping) (bull) — he’s been great. He’s our leading plus-minus guy. He’s been playing hard, (shoot), he’s playing (bleeping) hurt. He does everything. He’s just as big a part of this team as all of them. When you make the changes we did, it takes time. Plus (Jere) Lehtinen hadn’t played and (Sergei) Zubov hadn’t played and those things will catch up to you. They need to get going playing as a team. We have all the faith in the world in them. It’s a matter of getting it together. I’m sure they will. I hope they will (laughs).
Custance also has an article up on the Stars and you can read that here.
