 As an Australian is drat hard to watch NHL games without pay/subscription TV but I've been a fan of hockey since at least 97/98 when one of the free to air channels used to put on a highlights show once a week. Through many iterations of NHL on PS2/360 I've gotten used to most of the rules (even the offside rule) so my questions are these:

What are the Stars chances for the next few years and what is the SAS opinion on the team as a whole?

DO YALL WANT A BOXC posted:

The Stars are in a weird position IIRC because of their ownership situation. Their goaltending was pretty good last year with Lehtonen, but he's an injury risk. Goligoski/Robidas/etc. on defense is not bad, especially if Goligoski keeps up his late season form. Their offense will hurt from Richards, but they still have Eriksson and Ribeiro and Morrow and Benn, so that's a start.

I don't really know about their prospects too much, but they'd probably be a playoff team in the East if they were healthy, but their division and conference are extremely rough. They're probably looking at 4th in their division if Hiller and Selanne come back for Anaheim and Tippett can't salvage what's left of the Coyotes.

That might be good enough to sneak into a playoff spot but the Canucks, Red Wings, Blackhawks, and Predators are probably locks in my eyes as well. So they're competing with the Blue Jackets and Coyotes and whoever could sneak in from the Northwest because it's such a poo poo division.

Which raises another question, why is Detroit in the Western Conference?

Also, I'm a bit thrown off by all the changes to the Stars roster in the last 5 years ago. These are not the Stars I grew up loving.

Also the new jerseys are loving terrible.
