IX. General Stars Talk Always Lands on its Feet

[BigG44]

This is a hell of a quote that produced a belly laugh for me.

Jim Nill:

On hiring head coach Lindy Ruff: “I know it’s the best decision I ever made. If you see us around you probably think we’re two old farmers. We’re almost identical. We think the same way and have the same family values. Much like myself he was in Buffalo for 17 years, had a lot of highs and lows, and he changed himself. I came here and I knew I had to change the way I operate. He did the same thing.”

I wish I had Photoshop skills. Their face on the farmer and his wife would be my forever avatar.

I was listening to some combine interviews and a few of the prospects were talking about how certain teams just start yelling at the them right from the get-go to see how they react. I think it's safe to say the Stars aren't one of those teams.

Could you even picture Nill screaming (just in general)? I can't at all.

Nill strikes me as the father type figure that just looks at you with disappointment in his eyes. Arms crossed and just staring at you......as if he knows you're not trying. You gotta try harder, get that look out of his eyes. God......can I push myself enough to even get to crack a smile.


Stop looking at me!! I'm sorry! Am I'm such a failure?........SAY SOMETHING DAMMIT.

This came in the mail today. It's going to sit for a while, but I might wear it if the T-Stars come back to Cedar Park!

Speaking of the jerseys- need to find a way to post a screenshot, but from the trailer of NHL 15 it looks as though our numbers will have black outlines this year. Reebok is also listing the 14-15 uniforms as different from last years, according to a source on CCSLC.

 

[Zrhutch]

First screen I found. Could be shading as well.

Well shoot.

The black looks nice. A lot like Blackhawks, for sure, but of all the jerseys, the Blackhawks are probably one of the better designs to mimic.

 

[Klockis]

I hope not, I like how they are no need to change anything.

 

[piqued]

That'd be a pretty ridiculous **** you to all the fans that bought the new jerseys with a name/number. Congrats, they're already outdated for a meaningless change.

BUY A NEW JERSEY!

Huge updates to our latest Dallas Stars jersey, now with black edging on the numbers!!

 

[SolidusAKA]

Nah guys, this is good. Those of us who bought 1st year jerseys now have "classics". Super cool. Super rare.

 

[Dr Pepper]

My first jersey is still blank....guess I'll hold off on the lettering until this gets sorted out.

Do you really really really want to let Nike get a turn?

See:
Olympics
Oregon Ducks
NFL

Not american handegg either.

I'm willing to bet the next name on jerseys is Adidas. Reebok has somewhat been removed from the team sports and has been shifted to fitness/crossfit etc. Also, Adidas still owns Reebok and CCM.

As an Illini fan, I don't mind the idea of Nike putting together unis and the football uniforms are good (The new Seahawks unis are a great update to an already strong look). I would be mildly concerned that the materials of the uniforms will be changed, however.

I work sports retail, and have been told that Adidas is taking over the hockey department as soon as next season. Our store didn't even get any jerseys this year because of the impending switch

As an owner of CCM pads, I have no issues with this. Something about that CCM name....
