Oh yeah. Section 105 this year, may have to change my handle.

Breaks into song...."It's the most wonderful time of the yeeeeaaaarrrrrr!"

Only problem is, if the Stars can lose the opener to an expansion team (yes, they later proved shall we say, viable) they can lose to long time doormat, but much improved Yotes team. Which, would ruin my night. And, given WPG is next, send them to an 0-2 start on home ice. Not great for the Monty era! We need some positive vibes.

I'm trying to stay positive but I don't want to be rah-rah either. Trying to be realistic. I'm very happy hockey is back, but I am very nervous for our Stars.

 

[Smelling Salt]

Oh and I'm saying 3-1 Stars tonight. Hesikanen with an assist to start his NHL career. Bishop loses the shutout late.

 

[yotefan4life]

Good luck tonight guys! So happy hockey is back!!

 

[LT]

Bishop loses the shutout late.

don’t put that evil on us again

 

[StarsWizard]

Super excited for tonight. 0130 puck drop for me, luckily I’m not working tomorrow so can stay up til around 0430 to watch it. Hoping for a really strong start, to make a statement and give some confidence going into the Winnipeg game.

Hopefully this is just Carrick not knowing the system well enough to be ready to go...

Ugh one can only hope. That Honka-Polak pairing could be tough to watch

 

[FirstRowUpperDeck]

Honka still smiling in that video, good sign.

 

[LT]

Further confirming what we know.

 

[Kcb12345]

Good luck tonight guys! So happy hockey is back!!

Good luck to you guys as well. Win or lose, at least we can all agree it feels so good to have hockey back

 

[LT]

Haven't seen official word yet, but I would expect Bishop to start. No reason he shouldn't.
