Hey, DBD’ers – let’s start your week right with some Dallas Stars stuff you love to see. Today’s snack has a decided Dallas Morning News taste:

Vive la Bennaissance: The Captain is closing in on a big (as in BIG) franchise milestone.
Matthew DeFranks may be covering the St. Louis Blues now, but he’s still bringing Stars appreciation. Here he points out a nice set play featuring The Best D-Man In The League.
