I actually agree with both Ben Bishop and Ken Hitchcock after the goalie aired his frustrations to the media after the Dallas Stars 5-3 loss to the Colorado Avalanche on Tuesday. Hitchcock has every right to pull the goalie, and it’s a move that provided a spark for the team. While it may be frustrating […]
Notes: Bishop unhappy after getting pulled, Johns dealing with upper-body injury
Ben Bishop was pulled in the second period after allowing three goals on 17 shots in a 5-3 loss to the Colorado Avalanche.

Perhaps even more important was the loss of Stephen Johns […]

Lehtonen has just two appearances and one start this season, coming in a loss to the St. Louis Blues on Oct. 7. Since that start Bishop has played seven straight games, and will […]

They continued to prove that in a 4-3 win against the Carolina Hurricanes on […]
Tyler Pitlick scores twice, fourth Line Paces Stars to 4-3 Win
The Dallas Stars accomplished what they failed to do during the ill-fated ’16-’17 season: they posted a fourth consecutive victory, and in pointed fashion against a quality team on the rise. Scott Darling got the starting nod in net for the Carolina Hurricanes. The former Blackhawk backup with a career .922 save percentage was acquired […]
