Paul Newman, 83, died at his home in Westport, Conn., Friday after suffering from lung cancer.
Paul Newman as Reggie Dunlop in Slap Shot
As an actor and humanitarian Paul Newman was one of the most prodigious talents ever to grace a screen.
He is remembered for notable and award winning performances throughout his illustrious carreer.
I’ll always remember him as Reggie Dunlop of the Charlestown Chiefs from one of the greatest hockey movies of all time; Slapshot.
RIP Paul Newman. You will be missed.

As Dallas Stars Junkies, it’s hard not to be impressed every time Brett Hull goes on record. Even if he’s speaking to Off the Record.
I can honestly say that when Brett Hull decided to come back to the Dallas Stars organization after his retirement from hockey, I was surprised. At the time, it seemed like he hadn’t been here that long plus he finished his Hall of Fame career with the Detroit Red Wings.
I love that guy. He’s tough, skilled, knowledgeable, and isn’t afraid to ruffle some feathers.
His role as ambassador to hockey may have been tongue in cheek, but he did an excellent job. His passion for the game of hockey shows through in everything he does. We need people like him.
Now that his contract, along with Les Jackson’s, has been renewed, I’m glad to say that it feels like he has been part of the team longer. It just seems so natural. He is a Dallas Star and always will be.

Every body’s favorite (at least he’s my favorite) sports color analyst Daryl “Razor” Reaugh just announced that he and Ralph Strangis have been nominated for an Emmy!
So have many of the other guys who help bring us all great coverage of our beloved Dallas Stars.
Well deserved no doubt.
Good luck guys, I hope you win!
