It Starts today. Game 1.

The Hockey season returns today, with basketball season close in tow.

And so the blog starts again as well.

Enjoy, all 4 of you, my thoughts.

Official Stars Prediction:

• The Ducks will be good, but not as good as last year. Not in the regular season anyways.
• The Sharks will be better. A lot better. I think they will win the division.
• The Kings will be improved, and annoying, but not deadly.
• The Coyotes will be the Coyotes.
• And the Stars....3rd in the division. 98 points, and a 7th or 8th seed playoff birth.

So there it is in writing. I predict the Stars will suck, but not bad enough to not get the chance to lose to Detroit or San Jose in the first round. And then it's out with Doug Armstrong, and out with Dave Tippet, and rebuilding while watching Mo and Zubie waste away. That's cheerful.
