07/08 Season Preview

“This is the year”! That is the quote from every NHL fan on their favorite hockey team. Hopefully for Stars fans, it is not just wishful thinking.

 The Dallas Stars are entering their 15th NHL season, with Star fans wanting victory more then ever before. Coming off a disapointing playoff run expect the players to also want victory. With a solid goaltender in Marty Turco there is no reason to doubt why this team can not only win 50 games once again, but actually fight for the Pacific divison championship. The defense is strong, afterall they did have the second lowest GA in 2006/07 and are led by veteran Zergei Zubov. However, the offense might be another story. I am hoping we will see a Star pencil in 30 goals this year, but it would even be better to see the Mike Modano of old, who we could count for 80 points in a year. Riberio and Morrow will hopefully be there for 20 goals, and atleast 65 points.

 Season Predictions 

• Stars finish with  record of 47-29-6
• Finish 3rd in Pacific
• Finish 7th in Western Confrence
• Anaheim Ducks win Pacific Title
