Re: Stars vs Sabres Game Thread

From NHL.com Recap

Notes: Forward Niklas Hagman played his first game for the Stars after being acquired from Florida on Monday. He assisted on Robidas' goal. ... Dallas D Philippe Boucher missed his third game with a broken finger. ... Buffalo D Dmitri Kalinin missed his first game because of a hairline fracture in his finger. ... Dallas failed to score in the first period for the first time in five games. ... Several fans had ``No Goal'' signs, in reference to Brett Hull's controversial, Stanley Cup-winning for the Stars against the Sabres in 1999.

Re: Stars vs Sabres Game Thread

I really hope ESPN showed more of Biron's saves. NHL.com has given me absolutely nothing.

Re: Stars vs Sabres Game Thread

well,

directly after the game ended they had extended coverage of the game with barry melrose, but they never re-aired it, which pisses me off..
