I think the Stars are happy to see 2008 come to a close. Although there has been lots of good (last year’s success in the playoffs, for example), there have been lots of let-downs too (last year’s exit from the playoffs and the Sean Avery Show, for more examples). Although the Stars couldn’t pull...

Stars Win a Wild One; Prepare for Road Trip
