>Typical sports solution - fire the coach at mid-season when the problem is the players and bad off-seasson moves by the GM. Then to really piss-off the fans, they trade 2 of their most popular players to the [formerly hated] New Jersey Devils who beat them in game 6 of the 2000 Cup Finals. Who did the Stars get in return? The guy who scored the Cup clinching goal against them plus another player and a draft pick. In all fairness, it will be a great trade for both teams. I would bet most Stars fans, including me, are now rooting for the Devils because of the players we sent to them.

Yep, that's understandable, especially when popular players are involved. You want to see them do well regardless.

>Also, could anyone explain how we [Stars fans] can root for Brett Hull and still wish for playoff elimination of the Red Wings? < bg > Why, Brett, why? Anyone but the Wings!

Yeah, Brett. What was wrong with the team your Dad played for?:-)

Blackhawks 2, Blues 1 Chicago leads the best of 7 1 game to none.
