Before then I dont think you could have bought a hockey stick in Texas.

I was about 15 when they moved to Dallas and we started plying hoc-key as teens. I'm sure it was quite a spectacle seeing a bunch of guys in their teens playing hockey for the first time. He used the quad skates from the skating rink and most of us had those wooden Mylec sticks with the plastic blade screwed on to the bottom. Better equipment showed up in the Dallas market a year or two later.

I will have to go with Stars in 6.

I killed a man after Detroit 7-2 beat down of the Avs in Game 7 of the 2002 Conference Championship. The killing had nothing to do with the game, I just thought I would share.

I would've gone on a killing spree if there had been a Game 6 or 7 that I couldn't watch.

Still waiting for my new receiver to arrive ... and overdosing on NPR in the meantime.
