I have a 7 and 9 year old, and the 7 year old hits me with that blue shell on the last lap (he would carry it the whole race in most cases), and the 9 year old gets first. Took me awhile to realize what they were doing. Gotta love it though. <BR/><BR/>I thought the trade for Richards was bad. Richards is good dont get me wrong, but I really liked the guys they traded for him.<BR/><BR/>BTW, as bad as it might be for Dallas, they still own our (the Ducks) asses.Mike in OChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01831933744838119160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27850362.post-13012300878976832972008-11-21T13:21:00.000-08:002008-11-21T13:21:00.000-08:00A long way from the Brunnstrom for Rookie of the Y...A long way from the Brunnstrom for Rookie of the Year chat...<BR/>Things will get worse for Dallas as they traded a big part of the team in Boucher. Stupid move Hull. If they want to make some moves, as an LA fan, I think we could use Zubov for a playoff run. I'd love to see Doughty coming on after Zubov instead of Preissing following Doughty. <BR/><BR/>So does Dallas own their No. 1 in '09?

Sure, the Ducks might be wildly inconsistent and disappear for large portions of games, but:<BR/><BR/>a) it's still November<BR/>b) not many teams seem to be doing that much better<BR/>c) it definitely could be worse<BR/><BR/>So I dunno, I guess that's one thing a Stars fan could latch onto also. Things are tough, but other than the Sharks & Wings, most everyone else is still in reach (and frankly, even if the team was doing great it would probably still trail those two western powerhouses).Earl Sleekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15843720035500316419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27850362.post-73709857193742850632008-11-21T08:24:00.000-08:002008-11-21T08:24:00.000-08:00Perhaps every single rookie defender's having ...Perhaps every single rookie defender's having a sophomore slump?
