I'm a Stars fan, but I'm not deluded into thinking they're better than average. They can't win in a shoot out. The Stars are still half NHL half AHL. The franchise is also lot like a science museum, lots of money invested in fossils. They need more pruning and acquisitions. I still can't believe they gave up Hagmann and got Avery, especially with Avery's history with specific personalities on the Star's roster.

If you don't think they're still hurting from that deal, you're not paying close attention. I'm cheering for them though. Lets see what happens Wednesday when the two oldest-timers hit the ice.
Jamie Benn is a stellar rookie!~
