Mike Modano looks like he might be playing along side Brad Richards and Sean Avery this season as the second forward line-up. Seems that Dave Tippett will be trying out this trio during the preseason match ups. Sounds great to me.
If this line is able to mesh well together the Dallas Stars will have a great starting six.
Let’s face it. Mo’ is getting a little long in the tooth as far as hockey players go, but he still has mad skills. He needs someone like Avery to create some room on the ice and free up Modano to skate with that blazing speed of his. With Brad Richards at the helm of this combination we should see some flashy skating, brilliant passing, and some knock down grit.
I’m stoked.

Ever wanted to own a piece of Dallas Stars history (or Dallas Mavericks for that matter)?
Apparently, as part of the demolition process for Reunion Arena located at 777 Sports Street, Dallas, TX an auction will be held for more than 300 items.
Demolition of Reunion Arena is slated to begin next March.
You can bid on everything from grills and retractable arena seats to a Sony Jumbotron screen.
Seriously?! I would so love to own a Sony Jumbotron screen!
You can view items up for auction on Sept. 18 and Sept. 23 at the arena, 777 Sports Street, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Other items from the 28-year-old facility — including lockers and forklifts — are available in an online-only auction.
You know, in case you need a forklift.
I’ll miss that old building. Lot’s of memories watching the Dallas Stars play some righteous hockey in that arena.
Reunion Arena closed it’s doors officially late June of 2008.

Hello world! You know that’s what WordPress has on your first post. I’ve always found it rather funny because it’s so true, except that we are going to be saying “Hello Hockey World!”
An introduction:
My name is Damien Franco and aside from being a huge hockey fan, I am a web author and photographer. I author the Your Photo Tips blog where I help new and advanced photographers hone the craft of photography. I also have a blog on new media marketing for creative professionals.
Now, about hockey, and more specifically, Dallas Stars hockey!
I’ve been a fan of hockey all my life. The funny thing is that I grew up in a town a million miles away from hockey, Midland, TX. Sure we now have the Dallas Stars in Texas, but we didn’t when I was growing up.
In fact, I grew up a New York Rangers fan. It’s true, and I won’t deny it.
So when the Minnesota North Stars were moved to Dallas, TX and renamed the Dallas Stars I was overjoyed. Finally, hockey had come to Texas!
Here on this blog you will find information, and lots of opinion on the Dallas Stars and the NHL.
Did I mention that this is a joint venture?
This blog will be written by myself and a co-author. I’ll let him introduce himself later.
That’s about it for now, but stay tuned and don’t forget to subscribe to the feed.
