The Dallas Stars

Part 4 of 5 on each team in the pacific.

Star-divide

Firstly, why I love the stars:

1. The jerseys have always looked good.

Starsbabe_medium

I came.

 


2. Mike Modano was cool sometimes, like when he became the all time scoring leader for US born players, but hes gone now.

3. That's it, I hate you guys.

Secondly, why I hate the stars.

1.  Mike Modano. Dude was a Duck killer. And a Kings killer. And a Sharks killer. Basically what I'm saying is the dude was freaking good and nobody likes it when their team gets whipped on for about a decade straight (except in the 2003 WCSF's).

2.  Steve Ott AND Sean Avery. Oh fucking god. Do I have to do this rant again? Next.

3. They're in Texas. Texas is full of, well, Texans. Nobody like Texans except Texans. And Hank Hill.

That boy ain't right.

4. 2008. Sure, take out the Ducks AND the Sharks why don't you? Way to win over California, but when you have to play the Wings, you shit a brick. Damnit.

5. FOOT.

IN.

THE.

CREASE.

Foot. Check. Crease. Check.

There is nothing good about the Stars.

As you all know The Ducks blue line is suffering pretty badly.  Wiz being banished to the Islanders really doesn't help much.  What I'm about to suggest is crazy, probably not legal, and absolutely absurd.  But desperate times call for desperate measures.   

That is a picture of my girlfriend's dog, Mia.  And the holder of that hockey stick is me.  Every once in awhile I'll practice stick handling in my kitchen with a small tennis ball.  The other day, this interested Mia and she sort of made a game out of it.  I try to stick handle around her and she trys to get the ball.  At first this was no challenge to me, but then the little bastard started getting really good.  So, here's my solution:  

The Ducks sign Mia to a 3 year entry level contract.  She can't stick handle, check, pass, shoot, has no concept of what team she's on, and has pretty shitty cardio.  But from a team that once employed the likes of Ryan Whitney and Steve Eminger, this is all easily forgivable.  On the up side, she'll never take a penalty....  Unless they add biting or pissing on the ice to the NHL rule book.  She's relentless....  Unless the opponents all bring bacon which they use as a distraction.
