Hockey Night: Stars-Bruins In-Game Blog

DALLAS - The Stars will again be without Jere Lehtinen, this time with an injury to a chest muscle. That’s three regular forwards on the shelf – Lehtinen, Mike Modano and Steve Ott. So the Stars have brought up 23-year-old Aaron Gagnon, who has one goal in five games with the new Texas Stars. Ray Sawada might have been tabbed ahead of Gagnon, but he has been out since the pre-season after injuring a thumb in a fight. On defense, Mark Fistric gets the call in place of Jeff Woywitka.

The Bruins, a popular pre-season pick to win the East, are off to a 2-3 start (all played at home). That’s enough to have coach Claude Julien juggling personnel as Boston begins its first road trip, to Dallas and Phoenix.

Your pick for star of the game? I’ll take Loui Eriksson.

Red River Report Card: Grading Out The OU/UT Matchup

If you own a television, or computer, or radio, or read a newspaper, or even just have eyes or ears, you probably already know this. But just in case you still own a phone with a hand crank and get your stock tips from ticker tape — in which case, I’m not sure how you ended up here — allow me to break some news to you. There’s a big football game in Dallas tomorrow. No, it doesn’t involve the Cowboys. Amazingly enough, it doesn’t even involve JerryWorld either. It’s the annual Red River Rivalry game between the University of Texas and Oklahoma University at the Cotton Bowl.

Now, I know most of Dallas never attended either school, but considering it’s the biggest sporting even in town tomorrow, we have to say something about it. Does the fact that I’m a UT fan have anything to do with my unabashed interest in this game? Maybe. Does that mean that this post is a little biased? Possibly. But to the average fan of college football in Dallas, it’s a big game that’s happening right in your backyard, and with apologies to SMU, that’s something that doesn’t happen around here all too often. For the rest of you, this can just serve as yet another reminder to stay away from Fair Park tomorrow morning. Here we go…

Wayback Machine Recalls Dallas Stars’ Amazing Rally to Beat Boston Bruins During ’95 State Fair

Pardon the Boston Bruins if they don’t feel terribly nostalgic about the first time that they came to Dallas with the State Fair of Texas in full tilt. It was 1995, just a few hours after the Texas-OU game (a 24-24 tie), and the Bruins were cruising along with a 5-3 lead going into the final minute of the third period.

That’s when events took a drastic change at Reunion Arena and the Stars made NHL history.
