sharks looking good so far!

Sure do! Where the hell did the new goalie Jones come from? That dude is the real deal. They aren't having any trouble getting the puck in the net either.

I only got to see the highlights. The Stars are a fun team to watch though. The Pens finally got their first win of the season and are starting to look more like a team instead of individuals. They are still far from good.

speaking of which, it seems the league has been turned on its head this year. Pens suck, bruins are absolutely laughable, kings suck, Chicago can't score a goal to save their life, and the damn coyotes are tearing everyone up. What's the deal?

Stars take out the Lightning 5-3. Lehtonen looks pretty good in goal.

Spezza with the hat trick to wrap this one up. Great game. 55+shots

I hope we are back to homers. That was a strong crowd

It was a good game, obviously not the ending I was hoping for since I only really get a chance to see them play once a year, but good nonetheless. Both teams looked pretty good to be honest. It felt like most of the Penguin's shots were from the points relying on traffic in front of Niemi. Niemi saw a lot of shots though and looked super comfortable in net. That was a great pick up for you guys.

It's an exciting time to be a Stars fan, they look like real contenders with the roster they put together over the last couple years and the off-season trades they made are going to make a huge impact, especially down the stretch and in the playoffs.

It's going to be a great season.

A bit of a side note. I noticed that there were quite a few less Pens jerseys this game over the last few I've been to in the AAC, tonight I'd say there were less than 10% bad guy sweaters. Previous games I'd be willing to bet that it was more like 30-40% bad guys. I can't help but wonder if the previous 'Pens fans' were bandwagonning Pittsburgh but now that the Stars are real contenders they are back to being homers.

Our view:

[motoman]

Stars blank the Pens and have a great start to a new season. I REALLY hope Niemi finds a place here in Dallas and does well, goal tending has needed an improvement the past few seasons.

I've got to say niemi looks really damn good in goal.

Niemi was a beast tonight. 33 saves in the season opener and the Stars win 3-0 over the Pens!

[Cobraman]

Still in. Can't wait.

Me too. I'm ready for the crowd and energy to be back in the AAC

[CWO]

Still in. Can't wait.

Not a terrible pre season crowd for a tuesday




Ready for opening night. Anyone other than CWO or Motoman coming?
