It’s Already Been a Busy Off-Season For the Dallas Stars
Posted: 4th July 2010 by Tyler Juranovich in NHL
The Dallas Stars finished their disappointing season 12th in the Western Confernece. Inconsistency plagued the team as, late in the year, their playoff dreams faded fast.
When a team misses the playoffs, the main job for the GM is to bring in players or coaches that will help the team have a better shot at making the playoffs next season. Dallas has very limited cap room and were expected to be ...
Mike Modano: Retiring Would Be A Fitting End to an Already Great Career
Posted: 2nd July 2010 by Tyler Juranovich in NHL
Long-time Dallas Star, Mike Modano, was very “disappointed” that he won’t be in Dallas anymore, the franchise he played for his entire career. Dallas thought it was time to move on, and for Modano to move on as well.
But to where?
In recent interviews, after the Stars announced they would not be resigning Modano, Modano says that he still wants and thinks he can play for a NHL team. The 40-year-old ...
Jay Cutler Cutler Is Confident in His Young Receivers, but Should He Be?
Posted: 18th June 2010 by Tyler Juranovich in NFL
Wednesday, on the "Waddle and Silvy Show" on ESPN 1000, Chicago Bears QB Jay Cutler said that although Terrell Owens was a "good guy," he was content with the current WRs.
But should he be?
The current wide receivers have been criticized by many, and Bear fans seem to be divided.
Some like the youthfulness of the receivers and believe Devin Hester, Earl Bennett, and Johnny Knox are the future of the Bears, a team historically known ...
Going to the Blackhawks parade and being part of history was one of the most fun thing I could have done. Never had I seen so many people going absolutely crazy.
And when I mean crazy, I mean crazy.
A reported two million people were there, and I could totally believe that. Michigan Avenue was packed shoulder to shoulder from sidewalk to sidewalk. It was wallet-picking close.
While I was there ...
Tallon Made Mistakes But You Can’t Deny the Impact He Had On the Hawks
Posted: 17th May 2010 by Tyler Juranovich in NHL
It comes as no surprise to see former Blackhawk general manager, Dale Tallon, with another job, doing the same thing he did here in Chicago.
This time it's with the Florida Panthers.
I am happy for Tallon. He didn't get enough credit for the team he helped build. A team that he put together, that now has a great chance at winning a Stanley Cup. Sure, criticize him for paying Cristobal ...

Blackhawks Are in Perfect Form to Put Away Vancouver
Posted: 8th May 2010 by Tyler Juranovich in NHL
The Blackhawks went into Vancouver and brought everything they had, winning both games, taking a definite command over the series now being up 3-1. With the Hawks heading back to the United Center for Sunday night's game, all signs point towards the Hawks putting the Canucks out of their misery and taking the series.
Besides the first game of the series, the goaltending battle is being won by Hawks' net-minder, ...
Dustin “Big Buff” Byfuglien, Chicago Blackhawks Torment Vancouver Canucks Again
Posted: 5th May 2010 by Tyler Juranovich in NHL
Vancouver fans must really have a strong disliking for Dustin "Big Buff" Byfuglien after two years of him dominating at their home ice. Buff did it again Wednesday night, earning is first hat trick since 2008.
We saw Big Buff do this last year against the Canucks. Buff, not being the 30+ goal scoring machine in the regular season, sure seems to find that power when the playoffs start, especially when ...
Blackhawks Must Push Back Against Canucks in Game Two
Posted: 3rd May 2010 by Tyler Juranovich in NHL
Game two of the Chicago Blackhawks versus Vancouver Canucks series starts tonight, and after a spanking in the first game, the Hawks must push back and win this game two at home.
A loss tonight would certainly be the Hawks' undoing as I don't see them going into Vancouver and winning both games. Even if they win one in Vancouver they'll still be down 3-1, and Vancouver is too good of a team to let ...
