Saturday night The Killers invade the DFW for a show at the Irving Music Factory. The Killers are my 4th-favorite band of all-time, mainly because of the time period of their rise to prominence. The current state of The Killers is a little questionable. They’ve basically admitted that they aren’t The Killers of old. The […]

Stars struggle with “terrible game” before the All-Star break
DALLAS — This wasn’t how the Dallas Stars wanted to go into the All-Star Break. It seemed like everything went wrong in a 4-1 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs on Thursday.

DALLAS — It’s a fool’s errand writing about a particular Dallas Stars line that isn’t centered by Radek Faksa. With a notorious line juggler like Ken Hitchcock, the minute you write about a particular line having certain chemistry or consistency, it’s likely the same minute the coach has made a decision to alter the line […]
