Welp! I know there's a few hockey fans on here so I thought I'd start an on-going thread for the new season. It's that time of the year where the NHL has officially begun and our beloved Dallas Stars are starting their season tonight against the expansion Las Vegas Golden Knights. It should be a powerful night tonight at the AAC with the rememberance/tribute of the Las Vegas attack victims and the terrible loss of the absolute great Dave Strader. And on top of that I think Grubes will be playing a very good dose of Tom Petty in the arena. This should be quite an interesting and fun year as Dallas clearly won the off-season with the additions of Bishop, Methot, Radulov & Hanzal but obviously I think probably the biggest addition is bringing Hitch back. There's just something right with the hockey vibe here in Dallas with Hitch back here but maybe it's just nostalgia. I'm hoping it all translates to wins and winning hockey on the ice and I'm optimistic it'll happen. Lindy was a good dude and all but I just wasn't a big fan of the way he handled a lot of things his 4 seasons here. I'm expecting a big year because they just seem to have all the pieces in place and I'm a believer in Hitch. Dallas is in a gauntlet of a division but I think they'll be fine. I won't claim division winner of course but most definitely a playoff team and a series win or two in the playoffs. It all starts tonight and my hockey pants are going nuts.
