Ever watch a game on HD? HD makes Hockey Easier to follow. Many people believe HD will save hockey on tv, that has yet to be seen mainly because they don't broadcast enough games in hd. I love hockey and grew up in deep south Texas, don't really know how I go into it. But I agree that to truely understand it you have to see a game live. I sit nose bleed most times, I have been lucky enough recently to get decent seats, But I don't mind the AAC views in the nosebleed, I prefer the way it was at old reunion.

he only gets a pass for one season, Hockey season, that is. Not baseball.

That gave me goose bumps... how sweet it would be for that to happen again!

after reading more about richards, I agree and am coming to like it more, however the salary worries me. he better be the guy.

maybe we don't/ maybe we just buy the stuff outright.

Stars make major trade. What do you think? I worry about not having a decent net minder behind marty. http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/blog/nhl_exper...B?urn=nhl,68602 DALLAS STARS ACQUIRE BRAD RICHARDS AND JOHAN HOLMQVIST FROM TAMPA BAY IN EXCHANGE FOR JEFF HALPERN, JUSSI JOKINEN AND MIKE SMITH & A 2009 FOURTH ROUND PICK 2004 Conn Smythe & Lady Byng Winner Comes to Big D FRISCO, Tex. – The Dallas Stars announced today that the club has acquired Brad Richards and goaltender Johan Holmqvist from the Tampa Bay Lightning in exchange for center Jeff Halpern, forward Jussi Jokinen, goaltender Mike Smith and a 2009 fourth round draft choice. “Brad is a difference-maker and one of the premier playmakers in the National Hockey League,” said Co-General Manager Les Jackson. “At 27 years of age, he is in the prime of his playing career and a proven winner who has elevated his game to the highest levels in the playoffs. Johan Holmqvist is a reliable NHL goaltender and somebody that we will be confident in each time he is in net. It was difficult to part ways with Jeff, Jussi and Mike, since they are all consummate professionals who have done great things for our organization. Tampa Bay is getting a solid trio of players and we thank them for all they did for the Dallas Stars.” “We are thrilled to acquire Brad Richards, a top-line talent who can play with any combination of line-mates,” said Co-General Manager Brett Hull. “His Conn Smythe Trophy as MVP of the 2004 playoffs shows he is capable of great things in the postseason. He is certainly a major addition to our group.” Richards, 27, has appeared in 62 games with Tampa Bay this season, posting 18 goals and 33 assists for 51 points with nine power play goals and four game-winners. Among Lightning team leaders, he ranks tied for first in power play goals, second in shots (228), third in assists, fourth in goals and fourth in points. Having currently played in 342 straight games, he has only missed two games over his career. The 6-0, 192-pound center has appeared in 552 career NHL games, registering 150 goals and 339 assists for 489 points with 49 power play goals and 18 game-winners. In 2005-06, Richards collected a career-high 68 assists and 91 points to go along with 23 goals. A five-time 20-goal scorer, he tallied a career-best 26 goals in 2003-04. Tampa Bay’s all-time franchise leader in assists, Richards also ranks second in Lightning history in points and third in goals. During the 2004 playoffs, he was awarded the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP as Tampa Bay won its first and only Stanley Cup championship. In 23 post-season games in 2004, he led the league in points (12-14-26) and set an NHL record with seven game-winning goals. He also won the Lady Byng Memorial Trophy in 2004, awarded to the player who best demonstrates sportsmanship and gentlemanly conduct. In 45 career playoff games, he has recorded 18 goals and 29 assists for 47 points. Holmqvist, 29, has appeared in 45 games with Tampa Bay this season, posting a 20-16-6 record with a 3.01 goals-against-average and a .890 save percentage. Last season with the Lightning, he appeared in 48 games and recorded 27 victories, both career-highs. His 27 wins ranked fifth in team history during his first full NHL season. The 6-3, 198-pound goaltender was originally drafted by the New York Rangers in the seventh round (175th overall) at the 1997 NHL Entry Draft. He appeared in four games over parts of three seasons from 2000 – 2003 with the New York Rangers prior to signing as a free agent with Tampa Bay on July 1, 2006. The Tolfta, Sweden, native has played for his country at the 2006 World Championships and the 1998 World Junior Championships. He was also named Swedish Junior of the Year in 1997-98. --stars--

Stars just made a major trade. Tampa bay's Brad Richards for Smith, Halpern, jokinen. What do you guys think about this. I think it could work, my only concern is not having a decent backup net minder,

Think Pizza Hut Park, But Better! I think getting the music school involved is a great idea, they could hold special outdoor 4th of july concerts and stuff. It would drive up the cost to have all the things they would need to sound good in a stadium, but maybe that way we can find a music donor.

I chose to come to North Texas, from deep South Texas. For several reason's... and Island Eagle I agree that NT seemed to have what I was looking for in a university, and I too never regreted it. What I do regret is when I tell people to join the exes and donate money, I always get this standard response, "Why Should I? They never gave me a scholarship. What do I get out of it." That's the mentality that has to change and I agree with FFR earlier "rant." I say to him Preach on Brother, and I know you do. It seems to me the problem is we are preahing to the choir, we need to help spread the good that UNT does for the student and how athletics can improve the "worth" of our degree. Thanks for your efforts as well flyer.

New Orleans – North Texas junior guard Collin Dennis has been named the Sun Belt Conference player of the week for games played between February 18 – February 24. It is the second honor for Dennis this season (Jan. 14/Feb. 25), and coupled with two previous honors by teammate Josh White (Nov. 20/Dec. 11) gives North Texas a league high four player of the week winners this season. Dennis averaged 18 points for the week and helped North Texas complete a pair of season sweeps against Louisiana-Monroe and Arkansas State. The junior tallied 24 points on 9-of-12 shooting in an 82-77 win over ASU on February 23. He had 12 points, four rebounds and two steals in the Mean Green’s 72-40 win at ULM on February 20, the largest margin of defeat in Fant-Ewing Coliseum history. For the week, Dennis hit 13-of-20 (65.0 percent) of his field goal attempts, including 8-of-10 (80.0 percent) from beyond the three-point line. Way to go Dennis. Go Mean Green!!!
