It’s August, which means it’s…nearly September. (Just kidding. We don’t wish our lives away here at Defending Big D. We just wish for more hockey.)
And the hockey is still out there. A few examples:
- Of course Jim Nill’s new contract makes sense – but the staff of The Athletic has assembled the datapoints to back it up. [The Athletic]
- Also in The A: Dom Luszczyszyn takes note of the Stars’ big uptick in contract efficiency in his latest rankings. (Thanks, Phleb.) [The Athletic]
- Big changes are coming in scenic Cedar Park. Mike Heika has an organizational update on the Texas Stars’ new roster. [Dallas Stars]
Finally: Stars games will never be quite the same. Godspeed, Paul Reubens. And thanks.
One of my favorite things to do at @dallasstars hockey games is this clap along. RIP Paul Reubens. pic.twitter.com/Yzt3QaTQsN
