I tend to lurk more than post, but that’s not because I’m not interested. I enjoy the blog immensely and like the game recaps and the updates on the guys in the minors.

You get a big ol’ thumbs up from me!

Probably visit this place at an un-healthy pace. Oh well. I loves me some Dallas Stars hockey! This place is awesome Brandon, keep up the great work!

I’m here and I’m doing my best to comment when I can. I still have big expectations for the Stars this year. If only they could get healthy.

I’m young enough that I can actually claim to be a lifelong Stars fan. I was four years old when the Stars migrated south, and my father took me to a game in ‘93 and I’ve been hooked ever since. I still maintain that Reunion Arena was an incredible venue for hockey. My family’s never been fortunate enough to be able to afford season tickets or anything, but I can’t count the number of games my father and I caught from the very top row at Reunion. There really was not a bad seat in that place.

As for my favorite players, the list starts for me behind Joe Nieuwendyk. He remains arguably my favorite player in Dallas history, but the list runs on. Zubov’s puck control, Sydor’s heart, Carbonneau’s smarts, Keane’s grit, Churla’s fists, Matvichuk’s toughness, Morrow’s leadership, Ludwig’s patchwork shin pads. It’s all permanently a part of my Stars fandom.

As far as the site is concerned, as both a Stars fan and a fellow SB Nation blogger, I’m thrilled with the way you’ve developed things here, BW. Lots of good content, pertinent links, a community that’s really beginning to develop in a very solid manner. I don’t have many suggestions on improvement or anything, but if there’s one thing I’d love to see (especially in the offseason), it’s a bunch of prospect reports. There are lots of places people can turn for news on the Stars of the present, but you could REALLY make DBD a central figure in the Stars online community if you were to develop an niche as a prospect evaluator with some kind of farm report.

Brandon, I’ve read just about everything posted to the site and have learned a lot in a short time. The game recaps are really helpful when I’m unable to watch; your descriptions provide a good feel for the flow of each period. The game threads always look entertaining, but I’m not usually watching near my computer. I’m guilty of reading constantly and not posting often, but I’ll try to be more active. I think it was mentioned elsewhere, but it’s a nice coincidence that this blog started just as the Stars’ turnaround really picked up steam. We appreciate the great work.

I don’t really have any complaints or suggestions, honestly. I definitely like the video recaps, when you can post them.

The one thing hockey’s missing is appreciable statistical analysis, so just go ahead and become the Bill James of the hockey universe and we’ll be all set.

I too tend to lurk more than comment, but I’m sooo busy reading them!

Came here by way of Battle of California – hooked up with them during last year’s playoffs. They moved here to SBN and then shortly pointed the way here.

Big Stars fan since ‘99 – yes, coincides with the cup win that year but I’m more than a bandwagon rider. That was the first time I ever really watched hockey. Been hooked ever since, much to the chagrin of my Avs-lovin’ man.

Since the time that BoC pointed the way here, this site has quickly moved up my chart of hockey blogs I read. I frequent it often and just dig any new information.

Love the frequent updates, great insight, and spot-on analysis on the Stars. I like that your posts reference and point us to other sites for additional information.

Even though I have been a fan for 10 years, I am constantly learning about hockey. Blogs like yours are helping me through this.

I kiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiid…

Btw, welcome back hopefully Ott…

change the tagline from Pond Hockey: Texas Style, to whatever awesome phrase Razor uses.

“Megatherian!”
“Discard what you don’t need, said Aaron Downey.”
“He could be the valedictorian of awesome school.”

etc.

Other than that, great job, Brandon! Keep up the terrific work. I check here every day.

Conjunction here. I’ve been a Stars fan since ’97, and when I heard Brandon, who I knew from BTB, was starting a Stars blog- I was elated.

first time commenter, love the blog, keep it up

I moved to Texas from the Czech Republic in 2004 (went to Baylor) and after graduating got a job in Dallas. I’ve been a hockey fan since I was little (hockey is the #2 sport in Czech behind soccer) and started supporting the Stars when Roman Turek was the backup goalie here.
Like the blog, have been reading for about a week, keep up the good work.
