No, I'm there with ya. I always cheer against former Stars. Watching the Pens flounder is that much sweeter because Neal and Nisky are there.
Of course there are exceptions, like Iggy. But I don't want to see the B's lifting the Cup, so that's outta the picture too.
Yes. Stick with your team and be a difference maker. It's not like the Stars were out of the race, they always had a good chance to make the playoffs.I thought it was pretty well reported that JN brought it to Robi and let him decide. Can anyone really fault his decision at the time?

Poor value by Nill. Would've rather kept Robidas and used him to bolster our own defense if that's the return.
Going to the Ducks makes it even more unpalatable. Unfortunately I wish him no success.

But it's not like he asked for a trade. Nill came to a Robidas because Nill wanted to get rid of him. Nill did the nice thing by offering Robidas the chance to veto it, but Nill started this. I don't get why you hold it against Robidas when the team made it clear they wanted to be rid of him.Yes. Stick with your team and be a difference maker.

I don't think we really know what happened. If Nill is the one who initiated it, then I hold Nill responsible for weakening the team for minimal future gain while strengthening a possible opponent. If it was Robidas then I hold him responsible for the reasons mentioned above.But it's not like he asked for a trade. Nill came to a Robidas because Nill wanted to get rid of him.

“Some teams started to call on him four or five days ago, so I sat down with him and said, ‘Stephane, in the end it really is going to have to be your decision,’” Nill said. “I respect Stephane a lot for what he has meant to the organization. We sat down and I told him there are some teams that are Stanley Cup contenders, top, top contenders and they had called on him, and would you like to max out your opportunity to win a Stanley Cup?
“He said he loved the guys here, I don’t want to leave them. We discussed that and in the end he said it would be a great opportunity, at my age, to go win a Cup. He was very appreciative.”
Right, if we disagree with a move we need to "grow up".It was Robidas' decision. If you have a problem with that, grow up. People whined for years he sucks, and now trading him is somehow awful. There's almost no chance Nemeth is playing right now if Robidas is still here (they'd have gone right back to the Benn-Gonchar pair), and Dallas wasn't ever going to contend for the Cup this year. You can just keep your anything can happen in the playoffs BS too. The end result whatever it is for Dallas is great because of the experience they've gained, and now knowing Nemeth is a guy they can count on next year.
If we couldn't find something to ***** about, this wouldn't be the Dallas forum.
If he was still on the team today we wouldn't have made the playoffs.
Haha, you have got to be joking. He was never even close to our biggest problem on the back end.
Well we all see different things I guess.
