Puck Daddy on Stars, Class of 08-09

Yahoo's Puck Daddy has been doing a great spin on the yearly previews of the NHL, following the high-school "Superlatives" styles in looking at each team.  Today they released, by Sean Leahy, their preview of the Stars.  Not a bad writeup:

With stiff competition always getting better in the Western Conference, it might seems like the Stars will be in a dogfight for a playoff spot at times this year, but in the end, they'll qualify with ease and if healthy, can put together a deep run, similar to what we saw last spring.

Check it out ... and while you are at it check out some other season previews of our Stars:

Dallas has transformed itself from an aging team dependent on the same few veterans to one that has a new core of young stars in seamless fashion, much like their nemesis Detroit Red Wings. There’s room for individual growth, and that will translate into more team success. The Stars are very much among the elite in the West, and that means they are a contender for the Cup. - Yahoo Sports - Ross McKeon

For Dallas, the sky is the limit—and all the hard work begins now, in preseason workouts and training camp. - Bleacher Report - Ken Armer

It’s time to take a closer look into one of the NHL’s most popular markets. That habitual hotbed of hockey, the first team below the Mason Dixon line to take home a Stanley Cup. Home to big hair, toddler beauty pageants, steers, queers, high school football, and Dawson’s famous “I don’t want your life.” The jewel of the Lone Star state, Dallas Texas. - Melt Your Face Off - user MNHLE

The Stars will continue to have strong goaltending from Marty Turco, who finally took his team deep into the playoffs. Turco handles the puck better than any other goaltender and is effective as any of his defensemen on the blue line. - MVN Outsider - Karen Francis

There's even a video preview ... actually a well done inspirational video by conman1188 on YouTube.com.
