Loved watching Ulf skate. First thing I noticed about him when we acquired him from the NYR. So strong, and mastered that style. Very unique. I tried to mimic it here and there on the ice.

Hey guys! I'm new here and hoping you guys can teach me so much about the Stars! I have currently started a twitter account as a hobby project that posts out the Stars prospects stats within 12hr of their most recent games. I figure this is a good way for me to learn about the prospects while allowing other people to view what I'm learning as well. So I'm just really excited to learn and become a huge stars fan! Hope you guys will be patient with me and teach me how to love this team like you all do.

[Samuel Culper III]

Need some advice. Wife and I PCSd to Shepard AFB late spring so we haven't been to a Stars game yet but we'll be driving down to Dallas next weekend for the Panthers game. I'm looking for either a good kind of cozy spot for some Italian food near the arena (doesn't have to be too fancy but quality sit down would be nice) or a good brew pub type spot with some interesting food and good craft beer selection. Also looking for a decent area to do some shopping or a good area to walk around with a selection of restaurants and shops that might fit the bill. Doesn't have to be extremely close to the stadium but the metroplex is big and we'd like to stay in the general area. Especially if we're gonna drink at dinner.
